What’s involved in a proper leaking shower repair
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 commonly included with your Turramurra service:
Should the inspection suggest membrane failure or a renovation-stage problem, you may be better suited to a broader scope of works. Details are outlined here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

How to ensure shower leaks don’t recur
If you’re comparing Leaking Shower Repair services in Turramurra, the most effective cost saving is getting the repair type right the first time. 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 leave no doubt about inclusions, exclusions, and warranty coverage.
Tools used appropriately: Thermal imaging, moisture testing, and pressure checks are effective when they confirm the leak path rather than drive a sale.
Reality about “no tile removal”: In many cases, leaks can be fixed without removing tiles, but membrane failure or structural issues may affect the approach.
Compliance awareness: Domestic wet-area standards (AS 3740 / NCC) should be considered for all wet-area work, particularly where waterproofing remediation applies.

Questions we’re regularly asked before booking
Often, yes—particularly when grout or sealant failure is the cause and the structure beneath is still sound. The key is identifying where water is tracking before selecting the repair. If the membrane has failed or deeper damage exists, tile removal or remediation may be needed.
Most leaking shower repairs are achievable in a single visit, but the actual duration depends on the fault and any cure or drying requirements. We confirm timing once the inspection is complete.
Yes—your inspection is used to define the scope properly, then you receive a fixed quote on-site before work begins. That way you’re not paying for guesswork.
Typical shower leaks arise from cracked grout, worn silicone joints, tile movement, and ageing waterproofing membranes—most commonly at corners, penetrations, and shower base transitions. Regular use and humidity slowly worsen these areas.
We assess leaks from shower heads or taps and also investigate whether water is escaping elsewhere, because fittings alone aren’t always the full picture. If plumbing-only work is required, we’ll tell you 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.
Hidden leaks may show up as bubbling paint, musty odours, mould, or water staining on the other side of the wall. Tools such as moisture meters and thermal imaging help confirm moisture paths before repair work starts.
Sometimes—availability depends on bookings and the repair scope. If it’s urgent, contacting early gives you the best chance of a same-day inspection or fast scheduling.
After-hours or urgent enquiries may be available where possible, depending on the type of work and scheduling. Some repair steps still require proper cure time, so we’ll be upfront about 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.)
