What’s involved when repairing a leaking shower
Shower leaks are rarely the result of a single problem. More often, water finds its way out through failing grout, compromised silicone joints, movement at corners, penetrations, or shower base transitions, then spreads to the most vulnerable areas.
What is typically included as part of your St Andrews service:
When the inspection identifies membrane failure or a renovation-stage issue as the cause, a wider scope may be recommended. See the options here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

Fixed quote provided upfront
We provide a clear scope and fixed quote on-site, giving you the space to decide without pressure.
Cause-specific repair
The solution may involve targeted resealing or regrouting, joint repairs, or a more comprehensive waterproofing remediation when needed.

How to minimise repeat shower leak issues
When comparing Leaking Shower Repair options in St Andrews, the best way to avoid unnecessary costs is choosing the right repair type first. Use this checklist:
Diagnosis before prescription: Do they take the time to explain the leak path and underlying cause, rather than offering a generic reseal?
Clear scope in writing: The quote should spell out what’s included and excluded, and what the warranty covers (and doesn’t).
Tools used appropriately: When used correctly, thermal imaging and moisture checks help confirm a pathway—not serve as a sales gimmick.
Reality about “no tile removal”: While tile removal can often be avoided, membrane failure or structural damage may still dictate the scope.
Compliance awareness: Wet-area work should be consistent with domestic wet-area standards under AS 3740 and the NCC, particularly where waterproofing remediation is undertaken.

Common booking questions we’re asked
In many cases, yes—especially if the problem is failed grout or sealant and the underlying structure is intact. Confirming the moisture path before choosing the solution is critical. If the waterproofing membrane has failed or damage is more extensive, tile removal may be required.
Many leaking shower repairs can be finished in a single visit, but duration varies based on the fault and any curing or drying time needed. We treat timelines as scope-dependent and confirm them after inspection.
Yes—the inspection is used to establish the correct scope, followed by a fixed on-site quote before work starts, so pricing is clear and accurate.
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 shower head and tap leaks, while also checking for other moisture paths, since fittings aren’t always the sole cause. If plumbing-only work is needed, we’ll let you know upfront.
Regrouting renews deteriorated grout between tiles, resealing replaces failed silicone at joins and edges, and waterproofing repairs fix membrane failures beneath the tiles. The correct solution depends on the leak path and the condition behind the tiles.
Common indicators of a hidden leak include bubbling paint, mould, damp odours, or water staining on the other side of the bathroom wall. Tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters help verify moisture paths before repairs start.
Sometimes—availability varies based on existing bookings and the scope of the repair. If it’s urgent, getting in touch early improves your chances of a same-day inspection or quick scheduling.
After-hours or urgent availability may be possible depending on the nature of the job and current bookings. Some repairs still require adequate curing, and we’ll clearly outline what can and can’t be rushed.
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.)
