Shower Rebuilds & Shower Renovations
In some cases, a shower may have too much underlying damage to be repaired through sealing or tiling alone. When this occurs, part or all of the shower may need to be rebuilt.
Shower Sealed offers a comprehensive shower rebuild and renovation service, working in conjunction with qualified carpenters, screen specialists, and other trades where required.
Why is the structural side of a shower so important?
No matter how high the standard of waterproofing, tiling, regrouting, or sealing, all of these systems rely on the structural integrity of what sits behind and beneath the shower. If the support timbers or sheeting have deteriorated or rotted, this can lead to structural instability. Excessive movement from pre-existing damages can cause waterproofing membranes to fail, grout and sealants to crack, and tiles to loosen or break over time. We have even seen showers with so much structural damage below that they have literally fallen through the floor.
This is why it is critical to properly address any structural issues when they are identified, rather than covering them over. Too often, we come across showers that have been re-waterproofed and tiled at significant cost, only to fail again shortly after because the underlying structural damage was never repaired.

* We offer warranties of up to 7 years, depending on the style, size, condition or service.
How It Works
While our focus is always on sealing leaking showers without removing tiles using our Ultra Bond Technology Shower Sealing System, saving our clients time, money, and hassle, there are cases where too many loose or cracked tiles or underlying damage mean a partial or full shower renovation is the only suitable solution.
Our shower renovation or shower rebuild process focuses on repairing any underlying damages behind or under the shower so as to make the areas below or behind the shower structurally sound and ready for waterproofing, tiling, regrouting and sealing. This is a comprehensive service designed to provide long-lasting results and reliability.

What Our Customers Say
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 Renovations FAQs
If the shower has too many loose or cracked tiles, significant movement, or suspected damage behind or beneath the shower recess, then the most suitable long-term solution is usually part or full shower renovation.
Where damage is present, it needs to be repaired properly. In those cases, sealing, or even waterproofing and tiling the shower is not the correct long-term solution.
As the name suggests, a shower renovation typically involves rebuilding part or all of the shower recess. Working in conjunction with carpenters and screen companies, these works usually include the following:
- Demolition of the existing shower
- Repairing any damage behind or beneath the shower
- Re-sheeting where required
- Installing new waterproofing
- Fitting appropriate flanges
- Building a new cement bed
- Tiling
- Regrouting
- Sealing
- New shower screen
Shower renovations generally take around 8 to 10 working days, plus however long it takes for the shower screen to be measured, manufactured and installed.
Most shower screen companies will not manufacture the screen until they have carried out a final measure after the shower has been rebuilt. This can often take a further 7 days or more, depending on the supplier and the time of year.
Holiday periods such as Christmas can also create delays if suppliers or screen companies are closed.
Yes, it can, although in many cases the real value is not the renovation itself, but the fact that you can show the shower has been properly fixed, particularly where a waterproofing certificate is available.
One common issue we see is that owners choose not to properly fix a leaking shower before sale. The problem is that building inspectors working for buyers may then report that the bathroom or shower has serious issues, and buyers often use that as a reason to negotiate heavily on price or pull out altogether.
In many cases, a shower renovation is not really a “feature” that attracts buyers in the same way a brand-new designer bathroom might. This is partly because it is often impossible to find matching tiles, so the renovated shower may still look different from the rest of the bathroom.
However, what a proper shower renovation does provide is confidence that the shower is in good working order and that the leak has been addressed properly. That can be very important during a sale.
Being able to honestly say that a leak was identified and the entire shower was renovated to avoid problems for the new owner can be a strong practical benefit.
Generally speaking, we do not see shower renovation as a major way to add extra value beyond fixing a serious defect.
However, if the shower does need renovation, we would strongly suggest doing it as soon as possible rather than delaying until a sale is underway. That helps avoid complications during inspections, negotiations and the sale process.
In many cases, the main resale benefit is not that the renovation adds style value, but that it removes a known problem that could otherwise affect the sale.
Average Shower Sealing 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.
