LEAKING SHOWER REPAIRS PERTH

Identifying a leaking shower can be tricky since the signs may not always be obvious. However, common indicators include water pooling around the base of the shower, damp or discoloured walls, mould or mildew growth, peeling paint, or a musty smell in your bathroom. You may also notice water damage in adjacent rooms or floors, such as bubbling or warping in wooden floors or water stains on ceilings below the shower. If you spot any of these signs, it’s crucial to call a professional plumber to inspect and address the problem before it worsens.

There are several possible causes for a leaking shower. One of the most common is deteriorating seals or grout, which can allow water to seep through gaps. Over time, the wear and tear of daily use, moisture, and temperature changes can cause cracks in the tile, grout, or caulking, leading to leaks. Faulty or damaged pipes behind the walls or under the floor can also cause water leakage. In some cases, poorly installed showers or damaged shower pans may be the culprit. Regular maintenance of your shower's sealing and checking for leaks can prevent major issues.

Repairing a leaking shower starts with a thorough inspection to locate the exact source of the leak. Our expert plumbers use specialised tools to detect hidden leaks behind walls and under floors without unnecessary demolition. Once the problem is found, we address it by re-grouting or re-sealing the shower, fixing cracked tiles, or replacing damaged pipes and components. In some cases, we may need to install new waterproof membranes or shower pans to prevent future leaks. We always aim to provide a lasting solution with minimal disruption to your home.

Yes, a leaking shower can lead to significant and costly damage if not addressed promptly. Water can seep into your walls, floors, and ceilings, causing structural damage that weakens your home’s foundation. This can result in warping, rotting, or the need for extensive repairs to beams, floors, and ceilings. Additionally, the moisture from leaks can encourage the growth of mould and mildew, which poses health risks, especially for people with respiratory conditions. Addressing a leaking shower early can save you from much larger repairs and health concerns in the future.
