Hurstville is the centre of the St George area, with apartment towers near the station and established houses in the surrounding streets. In the 2021 Census, 57% of occupied dwellings in its postcode were flats or apartments.
No unnecessary tile removalLicensed & insuredSpecialist leak repairs
Towers near the station
In a tower, building management sets the rules on access, lifts and working hours, and a leak almost always involves the unit below and the owners corporation. We give a written scope the strata manager can take to the committee.
Original bathrooms in the houses
In the older houses around Penshurst, Mortdale and Beverly Hills, many bathrooms are original. If the tiles are sound, a regrout and reseal stops the leak for far less than a renovation.
How we repair a leak without removing tiles
- Assessment. We look for where the water gets in, not only where it shows up, and check that the tiles are sound.
- Preparation. We clean the area and protect the surfaces around it.
- Remove what has failed. Deteriorated grout and failed silicone come out of the floor, corners and junctions.
- Regrout and reseal. New grout goes in as specified, and we reseal the corners, hob, door sill, drain surround and other junctions we can reach.
- Remedial sealing. Where it suits the job, we apply the specified sealer to the new grout and joints.
Not every leak can be fixed this way. If tiles are loose, the floor falls the wrong way, the membrane has failed across a large area or a pipe is leaking, we'll tell you before you spend anything.

Yes, along with the rest of the St George area.
Repairs, warranty and quotes
Will you need to remove my tiles?
Not if the tiles are sound and the water is getting in through the grout and joints. If the inspection shows something else, we'll explain what's needed and why.
How much disruption is there?
A repair is measured in days, not the weeks a renovation takes. There's no demolition, and you can use the area again after 24 to 48 hours, as your technician advises.
What does the warranty cover?
The sealing product carries a manufacturer's product warranty of up to 25 years, subject to the manufacturer's terms and correct application. It is a product warranty, not a promise that nothing will ever leak. Read our warranty information.
How does the quote work?
The inspection and quote are free. You get a written quote with the area, the method and what's excluded before any work starts.
