Local repair advice

When a shower rebuild may be needed in East Melbourne

Some showers can be repaired neatly, but others show signs of long-term waterproofing failure, major movement, or deterioration that has gone beyond a simple surface fix.

In East Melbourne, we often see this in heritage apartments, terraces, and neatly renovated inner-city bathrooms. When the shower condition is more advanced, rebuild advice can be the smartest path forward. If you are comparing options, our main shower rebuild page explains the broader Melbourne service as well.

Signs the shower may be beyond a simple repair

What local owners often notice

  • Repeated leak problems returning
  • Loose tiles or soft surrounding surfaces
  • Visible damage that has worsened over time
  • Repairs that no longer hold for long

Put on new white grout which has made a huge difference to our shower tiles. Lucky it wasnt a leak as we cant find these tiles anywhere anymore. Daniel did a comprehensive leak detection test to make sure and it put my mind at ease before the job.

They were great to deal with, patient, understanding, and took the time to understand what she needed instead of rushing through the job. We decided to change it to a shower base and will use an adhesive floor mat to help reduce the risk of slipping while showering. I really appreciated how thoughtful and considerate they were with her situation. It didn’t feel like just another job to them.

Thanks Daniel for respecting our home & go the second mile to delay your lunch to ensure the epoxy sets well, prioritizing results above convenience.

He arrived on time each time which is no feat and was much appreciated as we negotiated home and work life. Daniel also did a fantastic job with our bathrooms - each having several issues: water damaged tiles and minor leaks (Causing various flow on effects to ceilings and floors). I highly recommend Daniel. Our bathrooms look great and more importantly are waterproofed and sealed.

The previous shower was done badly and ended up leaking into the timber underneath, so we needed it rebuilt properly from scratch. You can tell straight away this one’s been done with a lot more care. The falls to the drain are spot on, it looks clean, and the whole base feels solid. Honestly, such a relief to have it fixed properly by actual professionals. I very much recommend Daniel and Shiny Showers for your shower work :) Thank you Daniel and your amazing team.

Every step was performed thoroughly and with care. Daniel explained each step from the grout used down to the tile sealer. The grout lines are clean and the tile surfaces restored to their former sheen. The screen doors were cleaned and the shower door moulding replaced with new. We picked Daniel because of his tiling background and we wanted someone that has the expertise to fix any issues if they pop up during the job. Happy to recommend Shiny Shower!!

There was a lot of mould and rotten wood underneath, so they had to remove the shower base and redo the waterproofing properly! It made a huge difference! I've got before and after photos and the improvement is very clear! They also sorted a few cracked tiles in another bathroom as part of a separate shower repair. Everything was done quickly and Daniel was very professional. 5/5 stars!

Finding an owner-operator who actually does the work himself rather than passing you off to a sub-contractor is so rare these days, but Daniel treats your home like it’s his own. He just finished resealing and regrouting both of our shower bases with epoxy grout, and the craftsmanship is next-level. The job was completed to such a high standard, and the cleanliness throughout the process was incredible, not a speck of mess left behind. If your shower needs repair, don’t hesitate or risk getting caught out with sub-contractors. Having the owner himself complete the job makes all the difference. Booking Daniel is easily the best decision you can make to get your showers looking brand new again! 🚿✨
