Loose shower tiles are not just cosmetic. If tiles move, sound hollow, or lift, water may already be getting behind the surface and contributing to a leaking shower. Early repair helps prevent larger waterproofing damage.
Loose tiles often mean the bond between tile and substrate has failed. This can happen from long-term moisture exposure, movement, or previous repairs that did not address the root cause.
Tiles can loosen when water gets behind them, adhesive breaks down, substrate shifts, or earlier installations had poor bonding coverage.
Typical signs include tiles that shift under pressure, drummy tapping sounds, cracked grout around a tile, or corners lifting away from the wall.
Loose tiles can let water run behind the surface, leading to mould, damaged backing, weakened adhesion in surrounding tiles, and expensive repairs later.
Proper loose shower tile repair means checking substrate condition, moisture level, and adjacent joints so repairs are durable rather than temporary.
"A loose tile is often a symptom of moisture or movement underneath, not just a glue issue."
Quick patching can fail if moisture remains behind tiles. We focus on practical, lasting repairs by stabilizing affected areas and addressing the factors that caused tile movement in the first place.
We locate moving or hollow tiles and check grout, joints, and moisture indicators around affected areas.
Loose tiles and failed bonding material are carefully removed so repairs can be rebuilt on a stable base.
Tiles are reset or replaced as needed, then regrouted and sealed to restore a clean and water-resistant finish.
If loose tiles point to wider waterproofing issues, we outline practical next steps before damage escalates.

Total professionalism, attention to detail and an immaculate finish. After finding it difficult to connect with other tiling/shower rerouting companies, it was a pleasure having the team at Shiny Shower complete my shower rebuild with passion, commitment and care. Could not recommend these guys more!

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.

Ended up being cheaper and way more reliable. Were very happy with the finish. No more worrying about leaks which is the main thing we wanted. Pretty straightforward process and no issues with the team.
Matt was transparent on the pricing, 10% discount, deposit, balance to pay all made clear. On day of the job, Daniel arrived with materials to protect the carpet, & after the job, wiped down the laminate floor dirtied by his work shoes.

Thanks Daniel for respecting our home & go the second mile to delay your lunch to ensure the epoxy sets well, prioritizing results above convenience.
Very happy with this one. Peter helped make sure the tiles matched the rest of the bathroom, and the niche came up great too. Looks really classy. Thanks guys

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.

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.

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!
A beautiful job by the shiny shower team. Perfect craftsmanship, I am very impressed. It isn't looking like new tiles for our shower floor.

We had a few renos going on but a full bathroom reno was not in the budget. 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 😊

We had an ongoing shower leak and were quite worried because we couldn’t figure out where the water was coming from. They took the time to properly inspect it and found that the shower screen was leaking. They fixed the problem with regrouting and resealing, and the work was done really well. Everything was neat and professional, and they explained what the issue was and what needed to be done. It’s a big relief to finally have the shower leak sorted. Thank you to the Shiny Shower team for the great work. I would definitely recommend them to anyone having shower leakage problems.

The quality of the grouting work was excellent — everything looks clean, precise, and completely refreshed. You can tell they take real pride in their work and pay attention to the small details. 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!
Shiny Shower came out to do a leak detection, found the source of the leak, and then fixed it.

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!
Excellent job, professionally done. Attention to detail, friendly service, you can't ask for more. The house was brand new in 1995, this is the second job to freshen up the shower, to re-grout and eradicate mould. Many thanks!!!
Shiny Shower lived up to their name. Daniel did a great job, and the end result was magnificent. The shower looked brand new, as if it's never been used. Great job!
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.

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.
From booking to job completion, these guys were awesome. We had a very small window of time to do the job, they quoted and completed the job within days. Cannot thank them enough for doing what they did. And the job was brilliant. Great finish,…From booking to job completion, these guys were awesome.
