Leaking shower repairs

Water coming through to the next room or the ceiling below usually gets in through worn grout and failed silicone. We cut it out, regrout, reseal and treat the joints, so in most cases your tiles stay where they are.

How our non-invasive repair works

  1. Inspect. We look for where the water gets in, not just where it shows up. The inspection is free.
  2. Prepare. We clean the area and cut out the old grout and silicone.
  3. Regrout and reseal. We regrout, then reseal the corners, junctions, hob, sill and drain surrounds.
  4. Seal. We apply the sealer and tell you when the area is ready to use.

Water can travel a long way, so where it shows up isn't always where it gets in. If tiles need to come up or the leak is from a pipe, we'll tell you at the inspection, before you spend anything. Read when a no-tile-removal repair isn't the right choice

Common questions

Can my leak be fixed without removing tiles?

Most can. It works when the tiles are sound and water is getting in through the grout and joints. If tiles are loose, the floor falls the wrong way or a pipe is leaking, we'll tell you at the inspection.

Is the quote really free?

Yes. Every inspection and quote is free, wherever you are in Sydney.

What warranty applies?

The sealing product we use carries a manufacturer's product warranty of up to 25 years, subject to the manufacturer's terms and correct application. It covers the product, not every possible source of water. Read our warranty information.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. 1 Choice Building Maintenance Pty Ltd holds NSW contractor licence 151702C and is insured.

Do you fix plumbing leaks?

No. If the inspection points to a pipe, tap or valve, we'll tell you to call a plumber.
