Shower Sealed completed a great job on my shower in an investment property. The job turned out to be a lot more complicated than originally anticipated. Shower Sealed were very professional, keeping me and my tenants informed at all times. They provided me with a schedule of services which was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend this company.
Our shower is back to new thanks to Shower Sealed. We were looked after all through the the process, from quote to job complete. Our shower was sealed by Michael who was very professional, knowledgeable and a polite young man. Will definitely be recommending Shower Sealed to others.
I highly recommend the team at Shower Sealed! I use them for all repairs across the 200+ properties I manage and have never once had an issue with their work or staff. They are thorough, honest and very efficient with every job, every time.
Absolutely and utterly impressed by the quality of tradesmen that shower sealed provided. Being a tradesman myself I know how hard it can be sometimes to get everyone to work together but they did it seamlessly.
Pleasure to work with and can definitely highly recommend.. thank you shower sealed.
Thank you for the great job on our shower cubicle which was leaking. The fellow who did the work went way beyond what I imagined would be done in time and effort. I would definitely recommend your company to anyone with a leaky shower.
Kept well informed during the process and Connor was on time, very professional and courteous. Completed the job on time. Would recommend and use again if necessary.
WOW! Cannot recommend this company highly enough. Very professional, quick to respond and follow up. All work was performed to a very high standard. We had two (unusually shaped) showers to re-seal which was no easy task, but the technician Shane ("Shankar") went way above and beyond our expectations to finish the job/s. We have dealt with many trades over time and Shower Sealed and their enthusiastic team need to be commended for their exemplary service. Thanks again Shane/Shankar - Top Job!
Shanka is by far the best technician ever. He resealed both our showers at our penthouse in Main Beach 3 days ago. His work is faultless, he works so very hard with only one very short break and he is the most polite technician we have ever seen. Shower Seal must be so very proud to have him on their team.
Thank you very much for a phenomenal experience.
I do so recommend this company. They were so helpful from the first call to enquire to Shankar who came yesterday to seal etc my en-suite shower. Every appointment was followed up by the office staff. All were on time & lovely people. Shankar is excellent & left my en-suite sparkling clean. The whole service from everyone was professional & deserves 5 stars. I look forward to using the shower on Friday
Many thanks
Shower Sealed made the rebuild of my double shower completely painless for me. They quoted and gave me a schedule which was kept too. The craftsmanship was outstanding, I will be using them again for my other two bathrooms.
Thank you Shower Sealed for your professional approach and attitude to getting the job done to the best of your ability.

Shower Repairs FAQs
The most common causes of leaking showers generally fall into three main categories. Identifying the correct cause is essential to ensuring the right shower repairs are carried out.
1. Plumbing Issues
In some situations, the problem has nothing to do with the shower tiles, sealing, or the waterproofing beneath the tiles. Instead, leaks may be caused by plumbing issues located behind or beneath the shower, such as:
- Damaged or leaking pipes behind the wall
- Faulty shower taps or mixer bodies
- Problems with the shower waste or drain
For this reason, it is often recommended that a licensed plumber inspect the shower first. A plumber can carry out tests to determine whether the leak is coming from the plumbing system or from the shower structure itself.
2. Failure of the Waterproofing Membrane
Many homeowners assume that cracked grout or deteriorated silicone is the main cause of a leaking shower. While these issues can allow water to pass beneath the tiles, a properly constructed shower should contain a waterproofing membrane below the tiled surface.
This membrane acts much like a “bucket” beneath the shower, designed to catch moisture and direct it safely toward the drain. However, if the waterproofing membrane becomes damaged or breached, water can escape beyond the shower recess and begin affecting surrounding areas of the home.
This is one of the most common causes of leaking showers and often requires more extensive shower repairs.
3. Waterproofing Being Bypassed
In some cases, the waterproofing membrane beneath the tiles may still be intact, but water is able to bypass the waterproofed area altogether.
In these situations, the waterproofing itself may not have failed, but water is still escaping the shower and causing damage to surrounding areas.
Common Signs of a Leaking Shower
Homeowners often first suspect a leaking shower when they notice:
- Dark or damp grout lines
- Water stains on skirting boards or door frames
- Swelling or damage to adjoining vanities
- Wet carpet or flooring outside the bathroom
- Stains on the ceiling below
- Damp or musty smells
- Water appearing on the floor outside the shower
Signs Within the Shower Recess
Inside the shower recess common concerns:
- Mouldy or lifting sealants
- Deteriorated, cracked, or missing grout
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Cracked tiles
- Gaps around the drain
- Water pooling within the shower
While these signs indicate that moisture is escaping, they do not always identify the exact cause. A proper inspection is usually required to determine whether the issue is plumbing-related, waterproofing failure, or water bypassing the shower area, ensuring the correct shower repairs are carried out.
Before explaining how leaking showers are repaired, it’s important to understand that the inspection stage is just as critical as the repair itself.
At Shower Sealed, our experienced team is trained across all aspects of shower repairs, including sealing showers without removing tiles, waterproofing and tiling, and full shower renovations.
The real answer to how professionals repair leaking showers is this: by correctly identifying the true cause of the problem and then applying the most suitable shower repair method for that individual shower, carried out to the appropriate trade standard.
At Shower Sealed, we don’t cut corners. Our goal is to recommend the right solution based on the condition of the shower and the level of work required, ensuring the repair is done properly the first time.
Yes, depending on the type of shower repairs required.
If the shower is suitable for sealing, this is usually a fraction of the cost compared to waterproofing and tiling or a full shower renovation.
Where more extensive shower repairs are required, such as waterproofing and tiling or a full shower renovation, these options are still typically more cost-effective than a complete bathroom renovation.
The key is choosing the right level of repair based on the actual condition of the shower. This is where a Shower Sealed expert can properly inspect your shower and recommend the most suitable solution.
Shower leaks can become extremely serious if left unresolved for too long.
If not addressed early, leaking showers can lead to significant structural damage behind and beneath the shower area. While visible damage and mould in adjoining areas are obvious concerns, one of the more serious risks is water damage to flooring beneath upstairs showers. This can become dangerous in certain situations, particularly with chipboard flooring, which can lose its structural integrity relatively quickly when exposed to ongoing moisture.
Another concern is the potential for mould growth within walls, ceilings, or hidden cavities. This often goes unnoticed for extended periods, as leaks are not always immediately visible. While we are not mould specialists, if harmful mould is suspected, we strongly recommend consulting a qualified mould expert.
In more severe cases, leaking showers can also result in loose tiles detaching from walls or cracked tiles on shower or bathroom floors, creating a risk of injury.This is why carrying out the correct shower repairs as soon as a leak is suspected is so important.
Yes, in many cases leaking showers can be repaired without removing tiles, depending on the condition of the shower and the cause of the leak.
If the tiles are still well bonded and there are no major structural issues, our Ultra Bond Technology Shower Sealing System is designed to stop water penetrating beneath the tiles and reaching an already failed waterproofing membrane. By stopping water from getting beneath the tiles, the system is designed to stop ongoing leakage and protect surrounding areas from further damage.
From our experience in diagnosing leaking showers, the success of this type of shower repair always depends on the condition of the shower and the underlying cause of the problem.
If the shower is not suitable for sealing, the next step may involve more extensive shower repairs, such as waterproofing and tiling works or a full shower renovation.
The timeframe for shower repairs will depend on the type of work required.
If the shower is suitable for our Ultra Bond Technology Shower Sealing System, the work is typically completed within 2.5 to 5 hours, depending on the condition of the shower and the service being carried out.
More extensive shower repairs, such as waterproofing, tiling, or full renovation works, will take longer depending on the scope and complexity of the project.
Average Shower Repairs cost from $495 to $995 including GST
*Prices and Guarantee period will depend on the size and condition of the shower, we offer a free onsite inspection & quote on all showers
*Should the shower be too deteriorated then we may suggest alternative solutions such as tiling, waterproofing and or renovations works.
