Shower repairs can often stop leaks without the cost and disruption of removing tiles..
At EZ Shower Repair and Tiling, we find the exact cause, remove damaged grout and silicone, and reseal the shower using an ISO-accredited sealing system and epoxy products.
Most standard repairs take 2 to 4 hours. However, they require a 24-hour to 36 -hours curing period. This approach costs around one-fifth of a full bathroom renovation.
If you have cracked grout, missing silicone, or water seepage beneath the shower, our shower repairs and sealing will provide long-lasting results with minimal disruption.

Important
Signs Your Shower Is Leaking
If you notice any of the following signs, then it's highly probable that your shower is leaking.
Water stains on the ceiling below your bathroom
Brown or yellow water stains may often mean moisture is escaping through the shower floor and soaking into the ceiling below.
A musty or damp smell that will not clear
A persistent smell can point to trapped moisture and mildew growth, usually inside walls, beneath tiles or under the shower base.
Cracked, crumbling or missing grout
Damaged grout lines allow water to pass between the tiles. This can lead to loose tiles and further damage.
Peeling paint or bubbling plaster on adjoining walls
Water leakage can travel beyond the shower area, which can cause your paint, plaster or wall linings to lift.
H3: Swollen skirting boards or lifting floors
After absorbing water from a leaking shower, your timber and laminate materials may start to swell or shift.
Loose or drummy tiles underfoot
If your tiles move or sound hollow when tapped, they may have lost adhesion due to moisture reaching the layer underneath.
Silicone that has gone black or pulled away
Perished silicone creates open joints around the shower screen, wall edges and floor. This allows water to seep through.
Mould returning within days of cleaning
When mould regrowth is fast, it often indicates that the surface is damp due to a leak, failed seal or poor ventilation.
A water meter that ticks over with all taps off
Ongoing meter movement may point to a plumbing leak. Rather than failed grout or bathroom waterproofing. Here is some more information about how to tell if your shower is leaking.
Why do showers leak?
Building movement
By far the most common cause of a leaking shower is building movement. It occurs as a dwelling settles into its foundations and as the property moves during hot and cold weather.
Weakening or cracking of grout
Movement can crack grout, your shower tiles and floor-to-wall joints. When water passes through these gaps, it can weaken tile adhesive and damage surrounding materials.
Waterproof Membrane Fails
A damaged waterproofing membrane beneath the tiles can allow water to travel beyond the bathroom.
Perished shower screen silicone and tracks
Silicone can shrink, split or pull away from your shower screen tracks. This leads to water escaping through the edges rather than draining into the shower base. You may require shower screen resealing to replace these failed seals.
Poor floor fall or a blocked waste
A poor fall or a blocked drain can create water pools, which can place extra pressure on grout lines, joints and seals.
Why Brisbane Homes Are Prone to Shower Leaks
Brisbane is known for its reactive clay soils, which can expand and contract as moisture levels change. This can cause seasonal building movement that increases the likelihood of cracks, mould and shower leaks.
How We Fix a Leaking Shower Without Removing Tiles
At EZ Shower Repair & Tiling, we strive to fix shower leaks where possible without removing tiles. Here is the process we follow.
1. Free on-site inspection and fixed-price quote
We inspect the shower and discuss the repair with you before issuing a fixed-price quote. The quoted price is final, so there are no hidden fees.
2. Leak detection with thermal imaging
We use non-invasive thermal imaging to determine if moisture is present inside floors and walls. If required, hydrostatic pressure testing will confirm where exactly the leak is coming from.
3. Full wall-to-wall degrout
We remove the old grout with a precision grout saw. This helps to prepare for a full regrouting that will create a sound surface for fresh grout to bond properly.
4. Seal and waterproof
The shower is regrouted, and sanitary-grade silicone is applied at critical junctions. We use Laticrete products and an ISO-accredited sealing system to produce a fully sealed, water-resistant finish.
5. Flood test and 5-year warranty
After testing the repair, we allow 24 hours for curing. We will also provide you with a written 5-year workmanship warranty once the work has been completed.
Do You Need a Regrout, a Reseal or a Full Rebuild?
Shower regrouting
If the tiles remain secure, this is the best option for cracked, stained, or missing grout. Most standard jobs are completed in one visit and are relatively inexpensive.
Shower and screen resealing
This is suitable when the silicone around the shower screen, corners or edges has failed. It usually takes a few hours and is also quite affordable.
Full shower rebuild or renovation
This is required for widespread structural damage, or when tiles are severely loose, or there is extensive membrane failure. These projects take longer and cost a lot more than a regrout or reseal.

F.A.Q.
We’re here to help and answer any questions you might have.
Potentially, we can provide you with an initial estimate over the phone based on your description and photographs. However, we will need to perform an on-site inspection to give you a more accurate quote.
A standard service generally takes between 2 and 4 hours. Although this depends on the size and condition of your shower.
A shower repair specialist can handle failed grout, silicone, tiles, shower screens and sealing systems. However, it's best to hire a plumber for leaking pipes, taps or drainage faults.
