Leak detection is useful when you know there is moisture around the shower but the exact source is still unclear.
In Sandringham, this is common in coastal properties, family bathrooms, and wet areas where sealant and grout wear can accelerate, especially where showers have been repaired before but the underlying issue has not been fully confirmed. If you are comparing options, our main shower leak detection page explains the broader Melbourne service as well.
Why people investigate
What local owners are trying to solve
Recurring moisture with no obvious source
Staining outside the shower area
A shower that has already been patched before
Uncertainty about whether regrouting alone is enough

Great service. I was able to book in quickly and they turned up on time fixed my shower hinges and then cleaned before they left. Happy with the final product and saved me from having to get a new shower screen. Will definitely use again if need.

I requested a complete shower rebuild of my shower in an older style apartment block. Daniel, the installer, was a great communicator and explained the process, every step of the way. This company is professional, experienced, and does high-quality tiling and certificated waterproofing work. The result was a very smart looking ultra modern shower. If ever I need a shower rebuild service into the future, I will be calling them again.

I’m very happy with the results. Loose tiles are now solid and the grouting looks fantastic overall. A very professional job. Time was important to me and you started and completed the job as planned. Thanks again, guys. Much appreciated.

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.

What really stood out was going above and beyond! They even did the silicone around my basin at no extra cost, which was such a thoughtful touch and made a big difference to the overall finish.
Professional, efficient, and genuinely lovely to deal with. I’d highly recommend them to anyone needing grouting or sealing work done!

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.

We experienced full transparency on the quote too, a 24 hour window for 10% discount, deposit & balance of payment. Nothing left in doubt. No uncertainty here.
Only time will tell whether the quality of the waterproof epoxy & low maintenance will prove true. We were assured it will.
There is one sad thing though - Daniel delayed taking his lunch until the job was well completed & the epoxy well set! Thanks, Daniel, for your "no compromise" attitude towards excellent results!

Got the shower regrouted and it’s come up great. The floor looks clean again and the grout lines are sharp. Now the rest of the bathroom looks average next to it haha, might have to get that done too. Good stuff.

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!

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.

From first in-person consult, to booking via their online system was easy and timely. Daniel came out to do a full regrout with epoxy / re-silicone all completed in a day. I can now shower with ease without mouldy silicone and failed grout!
I will definitely use them again for our upstairs bathrooms 😊
