Stopping a Shower Leak at Its Source
Is water reaching the room next to your shower? Our licensed team traces and fixes grout, silicone and waste leaks at source, and tells you when the waterproof membrane under the tiles has failed.
Bathroom Leak Repair Services
Each part of the shower gets its own water test, which shows where a bathroom leak starts:
-
Shower Leak Detection
Get a quoteWhen we run shower leak detection, water goes over the floor, walls, screen seals and floor waste one at a time, which lets the written quote name the leaking part.
-
Regrouting and Resealing
Get a quoteOur shower regrouting replaces cracked grout lines, and resealing renews tired silicone along shower corners and screen edges, closing the gaps from the surface while each sound tile stays put.
-
Upstairs Bathroom Leaks
Get a quoteTracing a ceiling stain under a bathroom starts upstairs, and our upstairs bathroom leak checks test the shower, bath and toilet above, so only the leaking fixture gets the repair.
-
Leaking Shower Bases
Get a quoteWater reaching the next room can come from the shower base itself, whether it's an acrylic tray or a tiled floor, and our leaking shower base repair stops that water.
Why Is My Shower Leaking
A leaking shower lets water through cracked grout, a failed membrane, worn silicone or a loose floor waste seal:
-
Cracked Grout Lines
Cracked grout lets shower water soak into the bedding under the floor and wall tiles. Fresh grout in those joints closes each gap, and no tile has to come up.
-
Failed Membrane Under Tiles
Keeping water inside the wet area is the membrane's job under Standards Australia's AS 3740:2021, the wet-area waterproofing standard. A failed membrane lets water reach parts that aren't water resistant.
-
Worn Silicone Joints
When silicone joints split or peel, water runs straight through the gap at corners, screen edges and the wall-to-floor line. Resealing those joints keeps the water inside the shower recess.
-
Leaking Floor Waste
We check the seal around the floor waste, the outlet in the shower floor, because a loose seal there lets water run beside the waste pipe rather than down it.
How Much Does Fixing a Leaking Shower Cost
Fixing a leaking shower costs what our written quote sets, driven by which part failed and whether tiles come up:
- Failed part: Resealing silicone or regrouting joints works from the surface, while a failed membrane means lifting tiles to reach it. We name the failed part before quoting.
- Membrane work: The NSW Government requires a contractor licence once residential waterproofing work tops $5,000 for labour and materials including GST, per its waterproofing licence page updated in 2026. A licensed waterproofer prices that part of the job.
- Our pricing: We Find It Leak Detection quotes fair, upfront pricing, no surprises, in writing before work starts, on top of a $0 call-out fee.
Why the Right Shower Leak Fix Matters
The right fix for the failed part saves lifting tiles that are still doing their job:
-
Regrout or Re-Waterproof
Regrouting or resealing suits a leak through grout or silicone joints, with no tiles lifted. A failed membrane needs a full re-waterproof and retile, which a licensed waterproofer carries out.
-
Pinpoint Before Lifting Tiles
When damp comes from a supply pipe rather than the shower, our non-invasive leak detection pinpoints that leak before any wall tile is lifted. Only the marked spot gets opened.
-
Shower Test Comes First
Sydney Water advises ruling out damaged waterproofing before booking a WaterFix Concealed Leaks investigation, so a shower test first can save paying for a pipe search that you don't need.
Our Process
Our leaking shower repair has six steps, from a water meter check to a retest after the fix:
-
Rule Out the Supply
We note the water meter reading, then read the dial after at least an hour with all taps off, which shows whether a supply pipe is leaking before shower testing.
-
Water Test Each Part
Testing one part at a time shows which part leaks: we run water over the floor, then each wall, then the screen seals. You see the result as we go.
-
Check the Far Side
When the shower backs onto a hallway, bedroom or laundry wall, we check that far side and any ceiling below for damp, which shows you where the water is travelling.
-
Name the Failed Part
Our team tells you in plain words which part failed and the fix that suits it, from fresh silicone on a single joint to membrane work by a licensed waterproofer.
-
Quote Before Work
The written quote comes next, with fair, upfront pricing, no surprises, and you approve it before anyone touches the shower. Nothing is fixed until you say yes to that price.
-
Fix and Retest
Fixing the failed part follows your approval, whether that's fresh grout, new silicone or a resealed waste seal, and a second water test on that part then proves it holds.
Common Shower Leak Problems We Fix
Shower leaks show up as damp, drips or pooling water, and each sign points to a part we can test:
-
Shower Head Drips When Off
When the shower head drips after the tap's off, the tapware can have a worn washer or cartridge letting water past. We replace that worn part, which stops the drip.
-
Damp Wall Beside the Shower
Damp on the wall beside the shower is a leak sign Sydney Water lists, and a water test on the shower's wall joints then shows whether the leak starts there.
-
Water Past the Screen
If water pools on the bathroom floor just outside the screen, the screen's silicone seal can be letting it out, and fresh silicone along that edge keeps the water inside.
-
Leak Only When Showering
We treat damp that shows only after a shower as a wet-area leak, because a leaking supply pipe keeps losing water between showers, with every tap in the house off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Leaking Shower Be Repaired Without Retiling?
Yes, regrouting or resealing repairs a leaking shower without retiling when the water gets through grout or silicone joints. A failed membrane is the exception, because the tiles have to come up to reach it.
Is a Leak Behind the Shower Wall a Pipe?
No, shower walls also get wet from leaking grout, silicone or a failed membrane, not only from a supply pipe. If the meter moves with every tap off, leaking pipe repairs fix the supply line.
Can I Fix a Leaking Shower Tap Myself in Sydney?
Yes, you can change a shower tap washer yourself, because Sydney Water says homeowners may legally do minor plumbing like that. A licensed plumber fixes the tap body or pipes inside the wall.
Who Fixes a Failed Shower Membrane in Sydney?
A licensed waterproofer fixes a failed shower membrane, because the NSW Government treats waterproofing as trade work that needs a licence or certificate. Our part of the job is pinpointing that failure first.
How Long Does a Leaking Shower Repair Take?
Repair time comes down to which part failed and how much of it needs redoing, from one silicone joint to a full regrout. The water test on that part shows the scope.
How Do I Book Leaking Shower Repairs in Sydney?
Booking leaking shower repairs in Sydney takes a call to (02) 9073 7896, plus a photo of the damp. We Find It Leak Detection then visits the same day, with a $0 call-out fee.
