Leaks spread beyond the shower, into nearby walls, floors, skirting boards, and adjoining rooms.
2
Ongoing moisture leads to mould, especially in enclosed bathrooms where damp areas stay wet longer.
3
Many repairs are less disruptive than rebuilds, particularly when the leak is identified and repaired early.
4
Early action can help avoid more invasive repair work and unnecessary rebuild costs later on.

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.

We had an ongoing shower leak and were quite worried because we couldn’t figure out where the water was coming from.

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Find quick answers about leaking shower causes, repair methods, leak detection, and what to expect.
Sometimes, depending on the leak source. If it's surface-level (grout or caulk), we can repair it without tile removal. Internal leaks may require tile removal, but we'll advise you of the best approach.
We use a combination of visual inspection, moisture detection tools, and water testing to pinpoint the leak source. This allows us to fix the actual problem, not just the symptoms.
A leaking shower can be caused by failed grout, cracked tiles, worn silicone seals, failed waterproofing, or plumbing issues. We inspect the shower to find the likely source of the leak so the repair targets the cause, not just the symptoms.
We take care to protect your existing tiles wherever possible. In many leaking shower repairs, tiles can be retained, but some jobs may require tile removal depending on the cause and condition of the shower. We explain the repair scope before work starts.
A leaking shower should be repaired as soon as possible. Water can spread into walls, floors, and subfloors, which may lead to mould, swelling, and structural damage over time. Early shower leak repairs are usually simpler and more affordable than waiting.
Water leaking from a shower into nearby rooms can be caused by failed waterproofing, leaking seals, damaged grout, drainage issues, or plumbing problems. It is a sign that water is escaping the shower area and should be inspected promptly to prevent further damage.
We prioritise urgent shower leaks and water damage. Response times vary by location and availability, so contact us as soon as possible for urgent issues.
