We find the real source of the leak and fix it properly, so it stays fixed. Our Perth team turns up on time, delivers 5-star service on every job, and works with no call-out fees and free, upfront quotes.

Signs Your Shower
Is Leaking

Catching a shower leak early can save you thousands in water damage. If you notice any of these, it is worth getting the shower checked before a small leak becomes a major repair.

Common warning signs:

  • Bubbling, peeling or blistered paint on nearby walls or ceilings
  • Lifting, drummy, hollow-sounding or cracked tiles
  • Mould and mildew that keeps returning no matter how often you clean
  • A persistent damp or musty smell around the bathroom
  • Watermarks or stains on the ceiling below the shower
  • Swollen skirting boards, warped flooring or a jamming door
  • Cracked, missing or discoloured grout in the shower recess
  • Deteriorated or mouldy silicone around the screen and fittings
  • Damp or stained carpet in rooms next to the bathroom

What Causes a Shower to Leak

Shower leaks generally come down to two categories, and this is where being licensed plumbers matters. A reseal-only business can address the first group, but only a licensed plumber can properly diagnose and repair the second:

Waterproofing and sealing causes

  • A failed, ageing or incorrectly installed waterproofing membrane beneath the tiles
  • Cracked, porous or missing grout letting water through
  • Perished or poorly applied silicone in the corners and around fittings
  • Cracked or poorly bedded tiles, or structural movement opening up the seal

Plumbing causes

  • Leaking tapware, mixers or shower outlet connections
  • Cracked, corroded or poorly joined pipework behind the wall
  • A leaking or poorly sealed shower waste or floor drain
  • Water escaping at penetrations where pipes pass through the wall

Because a leak can come from any of these, guessing is expensive. That is why we identify the actual cause first.

The Plumbing Bros Difference

Most Perth shower-leak companies only reseal and regrout. That is a genuine fix when the problem is grout or silicone, but if the leak is coming from the pipework, tapware or waste, resealing simply hides it while the damage continues. As licensed plumbers, we can test and repair the plumbing side as well as the sealing side, which means we get to the true cause and fix it once, rather than sending you back to square one in six months.

Our Shower Leak Repair Process

  1. Inspect and detect. We assess the shower and surrounding areas and use professional leak detection to pinpoint where the water is escaping.
  2. Diagnose the cause. We work out whether the leak is a waterproofing, grout, silicone or plumbing issue, and explain it to you in plain English.
  3. Upfront quote. You get a clear, fixed quote before any work starts. No call-out fee, no hidden extras.
  4. Repair it properly. We carry out the right fix for the cause, from repairing pipework, tapware and waste connections to resealing and making good.
  5. Test and clean up. We test the shower to confirm the leak is gone and leave your bathroom clean and tidy.

Shower Leak Issues our Perth experts handle

  • Leaking shower taps, mixers and outlets
  • Pipework and connections behind the wall
  • Leaking shower wastes and floor drains
  • Grout and silicone failures in the shower recess
  • Water damage related plumbing repairs, coordinated with any tiling or waterproofing needed

If your leak turns out to be part of a bigger bathroom issue, we can also help with toilet repairs, tapware repairs, blocked drains and full bathroom renovations.

Do Not Put Off a Leaking Shower

A shower leak never improves on its own. Left alone, escaping water rots timber, lifts flooring, ruins plasterboard and feeds mould that can affect both your home and your health. What starts as a cheap, simple repair can turn into replaced floors, ceilings and cabinetry. Booking a repair early is almost always the cheaper option, and with no call-out fee, there is nothing to lose by having us take a look.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do you have to remove the tiles to fix a shower leak?

    Not always. Once we have found the source, many leaks can be repaired without major tile removal. If the cause is pipework, tapware or a waste behind the wall, we access and repair that directly. We always talk you through the options before starting.

    How do you find where the shower is leaking?

    We inspect the shower and surrounding areas and use professional leak detection to pinpoint the source, so we repair the actual cause rather than guessing.

    Are your plumbers licensed and insured?

    Yes. Every job is carried out by fully licensed and insured plumbers (Licence PL 9535, Gas Licence GL 016672).

    Do you charge a call-out fee?

    No. We do not charge a call-out fee, and we provide a free, upfront quote before any work begins.

    How long does a shower leak repair take?

    It depends on the cause. Once we have diagnosed the leak, we will give you a clear timeframe along with your quote.

    Can you help urgently if my shower is causing water damage?

    Yes. Our Perth plumbers are available 24/7 for leaks that are actively causing damage.
