Complete Solution Rebuild advice

When is a shower rebuild needed?

A shower rebuild is usually the right option when repairs are no longer practical, especially if there is severe water damage, failed waterproofing, or major tile and structural issues.

We rebuild showers from the base up, including waterproofing, tiling, and finishing work, so you get a safe, long-lasting result. - 3rd paragraph: If you are not sure whether you need a rebuild or a repair, we can assess the shower and recommend the most practical option.

Common signs

Signs you need a complete shower rebuild

Common signs that repairs may no longer be enough

Sunken shower

A sunken or uneven shower base can be a sign of structural movement, damage, or long-term water issues.

Failed waterproofing

If the waterproofing system has failed, a full rebuild is often the most reliable long-term solution.

Tile and grout failure

Loose, cracked, or badly deteriorated tiles and grout can indicate deeper waterproofing or substrate problems.

Multiple leak points

If leaks keep returning in different areas, a rebuild may be more practical than repeated patch repairs.

Plumbing or structural issues

Damaged plumbing lines, rotten framing, or substrate issues may require a rebuild to fix properly.

Outdated or unsafe shower

If your shower is dated, hard to maintain, or no longer functioning properly, a rebuild can improve safety, performance, and appearance.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Find quick answers about shower rebuild costs, timelines, waterproofing, design options, and what to expect.

Shower rebuild costs vary depending on the shower size, tile and fixture selections, waterproofing requirements, and whether structural or plumbing repairs are needed. You can request an instant quote, and we can confirm the rebuild scope after inspection if needed.

A full shower rebuild is usually worth considering when repairs are no longer practical, especially if there are recurring leaks, failed waterproofing, structural damage, or multiple areas failing at once. A rebuild can also be a good option if you want to update an outdated shower and improve performance at the same time.

A shower rebuild usually includes demolition and strip-out of the existing shower, repairs and preparation of the base and walls, waterproofing, tiling, grouting, silicone sealing, and final finishing work. The exact scope depends on the condition of the shower and the design you choose.

Yes. Waterproofing is a core part of a shower rebuild. We install a waterproofing system as part of the rebuild scope and allow for the required curing time before tiling and finishing.

Most shower rebuilds take several days, depending on the size of the shower, the rebuild scope, materials, and curing times. If structural or plumbing issues are found, the timeline may change. We confirm the expected timeline before work starts and update you if anything changes.

In most cases, yes. You can usually stay in your home during the rebuild, but that shower will be out of use while works are in progress and during curing periods. We work to minimise dust and disruption and explain what to expect before the job starts.

Eligible shower rebuild work is covered by our 10-year workmanship warranty, subject to the agreed rebuild scope and warranty terms. We explain what is covered before work starts, and full details are available on our warranty page.

Yes. A shower rebuild is a good time to update the layout, improve drainage, change tile and grout finishes, and add features such as niches, shelves, or a new shower screen. We can help you plan options that suit your space and budget.

We can work with your preferred tiles and fixtures, or recommend options based on durability, maintenance, style, and budget. We help you choose materials that suit wet areas and the way the shower will be used.

If we find structural damage or other issues outside the original scope, we stop and assess the problem before continuing. We explain what we found, what it means for the rebuild, and any changes to cost or timeline before extra work proceeds.

It depends on the property and the scope of work. Some apartments and units require body corporate or strata approval before bathroom or shower works begin. We can provide scope details and documentation to help with approvals where needed.
