Leaking Shower Repair Melbourne

Fix a leaking shower without removing tiles - most leaks start in the grout, not the tiles.

Why Showers Leak

In most bathrooms, a leaking shower isn't a tiling failure - it's a joint failure. Grout cracks and crumbles with age and movement, and silicone in the corners perishes and lifts. Once those joints open up, water tracks behind the tiles every time you shower. Left alone, that means mould, musty smells, drummy tiles and damage that gets more expensive every month.

How We Fix It - Without Removing Tiles

If the leak is coming from failed grout or silicone, the repair is straightforward and done in a day:

1. Remove the failed joints

  • Old grout mechanically removed to a proper depth
  • Perished silicone stripped from corners and junctions
  • Dust-controlled extraction, tiles untouched

3. Reseal every junction

  • Mapesil AC mould-resistant silicone
  • Colour-matched corners, wall junctions and screen
  • Written warranty on the workmanship

Mouldy Grout Removal

Black, mouldy grout and stained silicone are usually the first visible sign of joints holding moisture. Surface sprays only bleach the top - the mould keeps living inside the failed joint. Removing the old grout and silicone entirely and replacing them with epoxy grout and fresh mould-resistant silicone removes the problem at its source and leaves mould nowhere to grow.

When It's Not the Grout - We'll Tell You Straight

Not every leak is a grout problem. If our assessment shows water is coming through the waterproofing membrane or from plumbing, regrouting won't fix it - and we won't pretend it will. Membrane and plumbing work are separate licensed trades that we don't perform. We'll explain exactly what we found and point you to the right licensed specialist, at no charge.

Fixed Prices, Written Warranty

Leaking shower repairs follow our standard fixed-price tiers - from $650 for a shower-floor regrout with cement grout, to $1,150 for our most chosen Silver tier with full epoxy regrouting of floor and walls and a 6-year written warranty. Compare all three tiers and what's included.

Common Questions

How do I know if my leak is a grout problem? expand_more
Common signs: cracked, crumbling or missing grout lines, silicone that has lifted or gone black, mould that keeps returning, and dampness that appears after showers rather than constantly. We confirm the cause during the quote visit before any work starts.
How long does the repair take? expand_more
Most showers are completed in a single day. Epoxy grout needs a short cure period before the shower is used again - we'll confirm timing on the day.
Do I need to retile? expand_more
If your tiles are sound, no. Regrouting and resealing replaces the failed joints while keeping your existing tiles - that's the point of fixing a leaking shower without removing tiles.
