Perth's Leading Leaking Shower Repair Specialists

Leaking showers can ruin any bathroom and shower setting. And it’s not just visually off-putting, a leak can cause much deeper damage to your bathroom—and worse, to your wider property. It can affect your walls, doorframes, and spaces not necessarily in your bathroom. If left unchecked, a leaking shower can start to affect adjacent rooms in your property. It can seep through to the other side of your wall, and cause structural damage that costs thousands of dollars to replace.

The issue is that the standard cement-based grout typically used in your bathroom is quite porous. This means that you don’t even have to see any visible cracks for leaks to start occurring, and over time, water can start to seep through.

So don’t just live with a leaking shower. Without receiving a proper diagnosis, you could be ignoring a major issue that’s only going to get worse.

If you’re not sure what needs to be done about a leaking shower, give The Bathroom Surgeon a call. We’ll come to you and have a look at your bathroom and shower, identify where your bathroom leaks are coming from, and help you repair them for good.

HOW WE DETECT SHOWER LEAKS

This is a question we get quite often.

But often, leaks go undetected. So we need to get smart. If you notice any signs of a leak, we can take it one step further and detect more serious leaks by effectively performing an x-ray of your shower area.

We use a FLIR real-time thermal heat enhancement technology moisture detection device to locate any moisture hidden behind the tile surfaces. This device uses fully radiometric imagery that allows us to scan for damage, locate the problem, determine the job required to fix your leaks, and repair your tile and shower grouting.

If you’re still using the standard cement-based grout in your shower, and the leak has already done its damage, it may be time to regrout your shower completely. Regrouting is necessary for keeping your home in tip-top condition. It doesn’t just look like new—it keeps your bathroom and shower healthy, too.

WE RECOMMEND REGROUTING IF…

  • If your shower recess is leaking, no matter how big or small.
  • Your grout is starting to look a little worn.
  • There’s a ring of black mould around the base of your shower that you just can’t remove.
  • Cleaning your grout just doesn’t do the trick.

So instead of wondering why your grout is changing colour, get in touch with Bathroom Surgeon. We can take a look at your spaces, help you repair your bathroom leaks at the source, and get your tiled spaces looking as good as new.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

If you notice one or more of these common signs, you might have a leak in your bathroom:

  • You notice signs of moisture damage on any walls adjacent to your shower. This can look like bubbling paint, peeling plaster, rusted door frames, mouldy and smelly carpets, or lifting skirting or floorboards.
  • You notice moisture damage on any ceilings underneath your bathroom.
  • You see a build-up of smelly mould or mildew
  • Any grout in your bathroom or shower is missing. Floor and wall grout can lift, crack, fall off or become detached from the rest of the seam, leaving cracks and holes where water can seep in.
  • If your tiles are looking stained or discoloured, and cleaning them just won’t solve it.
  • The grout lines around your bathroom tiles look discoloured or mouldy.

Got any of these problems? Then you’ve got a leak in your bathroom. Get in touch with us to discuss detecting any leaks, and repairing your Perth bathroom or shower as soon as possible.

You don’t need to do anything in order to treat the leak. Don’t remove any tiles, don’t change anything—we do it all for you. All we request is that you don’t use your bathroom or shower for around 4 hours prior to us arriving at your home. This gives everything the best chance to dry.

How long it takes to complete your leaking shower repair really depends on the size, the nature, and the location of the leak. It can take up to 3-4 hours to fix a leak in a standard-sized shower. We’ll always provide you with a time estimate on every job we do, so you know how long the process can take.

Regrouting doesn’t only have to happen in your bathroom or shower. Places that aren’t impacted by regular moisture or leaks can need regrouting, too. Bathroom Surgeon can ensure that tiling in a range of places is beautifully grouted, in addition to your bathroom, such as:

  • Showers
  • Bathrooms
  • Kitchen splash-backs
  • Floors
  • Balconies/patios
  • Hearths/fireplace

Before you use your shower again, all the components and grout need to settle and dry. So we recommend you leave the shower for at least 24 hours before using it again.

The cost of repairing your leaking shower in Perth will depend on many factors. It takes into account the size of your shower recess, your tile joints, the type of joints used, the size of tiles themselves, and the structure and hardness of existing grout, just to name a few things.
