A leaking shower rarely announces itself. It shows up as a lifting tile, a swollen vanity, a musty smell in the hallway or a damp patch on the other side of the wall, long after the water started escaping. Our team handles shower leak repairs Burleigh Waters wide, and we start by finding out exactly where the water is going.
That is where a licensed plumber makes the difference. Many shower leaks are caused by failed grout, silicone or waterproofing, but just as many come from the plumbing behind the tiles: a cracked pipe, a leaking mixer body or a poorly sealed drain. A reseal will not fix those. We test both sides, fix the real cause, and give you a fixed price before any work starts, with no call-out fee.
Plumbing Bros began with three Perth plumbers in 2017 and has grown into a national team of more than 100, with a local crew based in Robina. For other jobs around the home, visit our plumber Burleigh Waters page.
Drips from the rose, worn mixer cartridges or a leaking tap body. A leaking shower head repair is often quick, but a leak inside the wall needs a plumber.
Cracked or failed shower bases, or water getting under the tiles of a tiled recess. Shower base leak repair can mean resealing, regrouting or, if the membrane has failed, rebuilding the base.
Waste outlets and puddle flanges that are not sealed into the membrane let water escape under the floor. A shower drain leak often shows up first in the room next door.
Worn seals, gaps at the base or poor alignment let water run out onto the bathroom floor. Shower screen leak repair is usually a seal or adjustment job.
Porous or cracked grout and failed silicone let water soak behind the tiles. A tile and grout shower leak is the classic case for regrouting and resealing.
This is the big question, and it decides the cost. If the membrane underneath is still intact and the grout and silicone have simply worn out, shower resealing is a quick, affordable fix. But if water has already broken through the membrane, resealing only hides the problem while it keeps spreading behind the tiles.
We use moisture meters, water testing and bathroom leak detection to tell the two apart. If the waterproofing has failed, we explain your options for wet area waterproofing honestly, including when a full re-membrane is the only lasting fix.

Most homes in Burleigh Waters were built from the late 1970s through the 1980s, which means many bathrooms are 40 or more years old. Membranes of that era were often thinner or patchy, original grout has worn down, and copper pipes and fittings inside the walls are ageing. Sandy, reclaimed ground can also let slabs move slightly over time, cracking tiles and grout lines. Add in sand from beach days washing down the drain and you have a lot of busy showers. A shower leak plumber Burleigh Waters locals trust will check all of it, not just the silicone.
We check the tiles, grout, silicone, screen, mixer and drain, and pressure test the pipework.
Moisture readings and water tests show whether the leak is plumbing, sealing or waterproofing.
You approve one clear price for the repair. No call-out fee.
We fix the plumbing, reseal or regrout, or arrange waterproofing work where needed.
We test the shower, confirm the leak has stopped and leave the bathroom clean.
Water behind tiles does not dry out on its own. It rots timber, lifts flooring, spreads mould and can attract termites. Booking shower leak repairs Burleigh Waters wide early often means a reseal instead of a renovation.

You can replace worn silicone on a screen or corner, but DIY sealing will not fix a failed membrane or a leaking pipe. If water is already behind the tiles, a DIY reseal can trap moisture and make the damage worse. Get the cause tested first.
It depends on the cause. A seal or screen adjustment is a small job, a plumbing repair behind the wall is more involved, and a failed membrane is the biggest. We find the cause first and give you a free, fixed quote with no call-out fee.
Not always. Many leaks are fixed by resealing, regrouting or accessing the pipework through a small opening. If the membrane has failed, some tiles may need to come up, and we will tell you before starting.
We use moisture meters, water testing and pressure testing on the pipes to identify whether the leak is from the plumbing, the seal or the waterproofing.
Only if the waterproofing underneath is still sound. We test first so you do not pay for a reseal that will not work.
Yes. We respond 24/7 to shower leaks causing active water damage.
