Shower rebuild services

When repairs aren't enough, we'll completely rebuild your shower from the ground up. Modern, waterproof, and built to last.

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. If you are not sure whether you need a rebuild or a repair, we can assess the shower and recommend the most practical option.

In some cases, a targeted shower leak repair or shower regrouting service may still be enough. If the shower has widespread failure, a rebuild is often the better long-term investment.

Common signs

Signs you need a complete shower rebuild

Common signs that repairs may no longer be enough. You can also compare these with our guide to the signs of a leaking shower.

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. Related issues include loose tiles and cracked grout.

Multiple leak points

If leaks keep returning in different areas, a rebuild may be more practical than repeated patch repairs. See our guide on leaking showers.

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Outdated or unsafe shower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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

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.

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! 🚿✨

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 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.

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.
