A real person answers, day or night
When a shower leaks, the tiles hide it and the floor pays
Call (02) 9072 0502 and describe what you are seeing, whether it is a dripping rose, a spongy tile or a stain creeping up the skirting, and a licensed plumber will walk you through what to check.
Why leaking showers run deeper in the railway-era cottages
Most bathrooms here were tiled long before modern waterproofing, so a leak has usually travelled a while before it shows:
Weatherboard cottages on timber floors
Tiled recesses over old screeds
Retro-fitted mixers in original walls
Shower repairs we handle
We repair each part of a shower properly, from the rose down to the floor waste:
Leaking shower mixers
Worn cartridges and perished seals inside a tired mixer let water seep behind the wall long before it drips at the handle, so we strip and rebuild or replace the valve to stop the loss at its very source completely.
Failing waterproofing
Water escaping through cracked grout or a failed membrane is the leak that quietly wrecks the floor, so we trace the entry point, cut back to sound substrate and reseal the recess so the timber below finally dries right out.
Blocked shower drains
Hair and soap build-up choking a shower waste leaves you ankle-deep in grey water, so we clear the trap and branch to full flow and check the fall on the ageing pipework that lets these branches silt up so quickly.
Cracked wall tiles
Drummy tiles and lifting grout signal water already moving in the wall behind them, so we lift the affected section, repair the leaking pipe or joint underneath and make good the surface so the fault cannot quietly creep back again.
Showers in the walk-up flats near the station
The unit blocks near the platform bring different shower faults, part of the wider general plumbing we run here:
Shared stacks, shared trouble
Original 1960s recesses
Small rooms that never dry
Common shower faults we fix
A few shower faults recur in the older homes here:
Stain on the ceiling
When a shower upstairs stains the ceiling underneath, the waterproofing or the waste has usually failed rather than the visible tap, so we pinpoint it with leak detection and fix the actual fault, not the stain it leaves.
Pressure that fades
A shower that suddenly runs weak in an older cottage usually traces to the corroding galvanised supply feeding it rather than the rose, and clearing or replacing that tired line brings the flow back for good.
Mould that keeps returning
Mould creeping back along the same grout line after every clean is a sign water is sitting in the wall, not just on it, so we find the leak behind the tile and stop the water where it actually gets in.
Why a shower leak is worth stopping early
A shower leak rarely announces itself, and the longer it runs the more of the house it claims:
Timber floors rot from below
Damp breeds mould and smell
Small fixes beat big rebuilds
How it works
How a shower repair works, step by step
Four steps, from your first call to a shower that holds:
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Find and fix
We lift only what the leak demands, expose the failed mixer, joint or membrane, repair or replace it, then flood-test the recess and watch the water drain clean before any tiling or make-good goes back over the top.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Banksia
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Banksia works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
Beyond the suburb we fix leaking showers across neighbouring Arncliffe, Rockdale, Kyeemagh, Brighton-Le-Sands and Bardwell Valley, carrying the same tile-off diagnosis, reseal and mixer rebuild to every ageing bathroom on the Bayside streets that ring our own patch.
Good questions, straight answers
Shower repair questions Banksia locals ask
How much does a shower repair cost?
The price turns on whether the fault is a worn mixer, a blocked waste or failed waterproofing, which is why the visit, diagnosis and written quote cost you nothing and the fixed price is set first.
Can you fix a leaking shower in one visit?
Most mixer rebuilds and waste clears are done the same day, while a failed membrane in an older cottage needs the recess opened and reset, which we plan on the spot.
Why do shower leaks damage the floor in these cottages?
The weatherboard cottages sit on suspended timber, so a hidden shower leak soaks straight into the bearers and joists below and rots them long before the surface ever feels soft.
Do I need to be home for a shower repair?
Yes, an indoor shower repair needs someone to let the plumber in and approve the written price, though we work around your day rather than tying you up for hours.
Will you need to remove tiles to stop the leak?
Only where the water is getting in, so a mixer or waste fault often needs no tiling at all, while failed waterproofing means lifting the affected section back to sound substrate.
Is the shower repair guaranteed?
Yes, every repair is backed for life by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so any fault in our workmanship is put right at our expense whenever it appears, at no cost to you.
