Kellyville, Kellyville Ridge and Rouse Hill are mostly newer houses, and many of their ensuites and main showers are now old enough for the grout and silicone to fail. We fix those leaks without removing the tiles.

Newer houses, ageing showers
Kellyville and the estates around it are mostly houses: 82% of occupied dwellings in the 2155 postcode were separate houses in the 2021 Census. Many were built from the late 1990s on, so their ensuites and main showers are now old enough for the grout and silicone to fail.
In two-storey homes, the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling under an upstairs ensuite. Tiled alfresco areas and front entries wear at the grout too. Where the tiles are sound, we fix both without retiling.
Rouse Hill and the apartments near the Metro
Around Rouse Hill Town Centre and the Kellyville and Rouse Hill Metro stations, newer apartment buildings bring a different problem: a shower or balcony leaking into the unit below. That usually involves the strata manager, so we give a written scope the owners corporation can act on. See our strata leak repairs
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 seal 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.

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.
