What’s involved when repairing a leaking shower
A leaking shower is almost never caused by just one issue. In most cases, water escapes due to a mix of deteriorated grout, failed silicone, corner movement, penetrations, or shower base transitions, before travelling to where it causes the most damage.
What is commonly included with your Rossmore service:
If the inspection indicates the leak relates to membrane failure or an issue from the renovation stage, a broader scope of work may be more suitable. You can see how that’s handled here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

How to avoid repeated shower leak problems
If you’re assessing options for Leaking Shower Repairs in Rossmore, the real money saver is selecting the right repair method upfront. Use this checklist:
Diagnosis before prescription: Can they clearly outline where the leak is coming from and why, not simply suggest a standard reseal?
Clear scope in writing: Make sure the quote clearly lists what’s included, what’s excluded, and what the warranty covers—and doesn’t.
Tools used appropriately: Thermal imaging, moisture checks, and pressure testing are valuable when used to confirm a leak pathway, not as a sales tactic.
Reality about “no tile removal”: While many leaks can be resolved without tile removal, membrane failure or structural issues may require a broader scope.
Compliance awareness: Any wet-area work should align with AS 3740 and NCC expectations, especially when waterproofing remediation is part of the scope.

Questions we’re commonly asked before booking
Frequently, yes—when grout or sealant failure is the issue and the structure below remains sound. The priority is confirming how water is travelling before deciding on the repair. If membrane failure or deeper damage is found, tile removal or remediation may be necessary.
A single visit is enough for many repairs, but the timeframe depends on the specific failure and any necessary curing or drying time. Timelines are always confirmed after inspection rather than assumed.
Yes—the inspection sets the scope clearly, and you’re given a fixed quote on-site before work starts, rather than paying for assumptions.
In many cases, shower leaks stem from cracked grout, failed silicone joints, tile movement, or ageing waterproofing membranes—especially at vulnerable points like corners, penetrations, and base transitions. Daily use and humidity slowly contribute to leaks.
We can assess fitting-related leaks, including shower heads and taps, and check for other sources of water escape—because the fitting is often only part of the problem. If plumbing-only work is needed, we’ll be upfront about it.
Regrouting replaces old or damaged grout between tiles, resealing renews failed silicone joints and edges, and waterproofing repairs target failures in the membrane system below. The appropriate option depends on the leak pathway and the condition behind the tiles.
Hidden leaks often show up as bubbling paint, damp smells, mould, or watermarks on the other side of the bathroom wall. Tools like moisture meters and thermal imaging can help confirm where moisture is tracking before repairs start.
In certain situations, yes—availability depends on bookings and the complexity of the repair. For urgent matters, contacting early helps maximise the chance of same-day inspection or quick scheduling.
Where feasible, urgent or after-hours enquiries may be accommodated based on the work required and scheduling. Certain repair steps need proper cure time, and we’ll be transparent about any constraints.
Written warranty options may be available, and the duration/coverage depends on the scope of work and required maintenance. We recommend confirming inclusions and exclusions in writing before work begins so you can compare like-for-like. (Your site references written warranties and long warranty periods, so the page should avoid vague “lifetime” wording.)
