The short answer

Leaking Shower Explained

A leaking shower repair finds and fixes the source of water escaping from a shower recess, such as failed grout, silicone or waterproofing, or faulty plumbing. The Plumbing Gang’s licensed plumbers diagnose the cause, carry out repairs and use flood testing to check the shower holds water.

Damp next door?

Leaking showers hide well

Showers can leak for months before you see it. Water gets through cracked grout or failed silicone, past the waterproofing membrane and into walls and floors, showing up as damp walls, swollen skirting boards or mould in the next room.

We find where it’s getting through and fix it properly, from re-grouting and re-sealing to a full re-waterproof.

Reagan came out to our property today to assist with a gas tank leakage. He was super detailed and thorough with his work, going above and beyond to ensure we were sorted and happy with the service. He displayed patience when explaining what he was doing step by step and offered fantastic education around what he was doing and potential hazards to watch out for.

FAQs

Leaking Shower FAQs

We check grout, silicone, fittings and pipework, and can use flood testing to see if the shower holds water.

The shower drain is blocked and the base is filled with water to see whether the level drops or leaks appear. It helps confirm if the waterproofing is failing.

It can be either. We diagnose the cause and explain what is needed, so you know the right fix before work starts.

Yes. Failed grout and silicone are common causes, and we can repair them where they are the source.

We can document the cause of the leak. We do not handle the claim itself.
