Repairing pipework under a kitchen sink

A leaking shower rarely stays a small problem

Water escaping past a shower base or screen tends to find its way somewhere worse the longer it's ignored. Ring (02) 9072 0511 and describe what you're seeing, and we'll get the actual cause diagnosed properly.

  • New ensuites shouldn't leak, but sometimes do A shower fitted during a recent rebuild that develops a leak within its first year points to an installation fault, not old age.
  • Original recesses show their years through pressure A shower in an untouched 1960s bathroom losing pressure over time often traces back to corroding supply pipe rather than the shower head itself.
  • Multiple ensuites don't share one fault A large rebuild carrying several bathrooms can have a single shower develop an issue while every other one in the house stays completely unaffected.

Shower repair services we provide

Every shower repair starts with confirming exactly where the water's actually escaping from:

Leaking shower base and screen repairs

Water tracking out from under a shower base or around a screen almost always means a failed seal, and correcting that seal properly stops the leak at its actual source rather than masking the symptom.

Waterproofing membrane assessment

Where a leak points to a failure in the waterproofing membrane itself rather than a surface seal, we assess it honestly and coordinate with your builder or waterproofer on the correct fix.

Shower mixer and pressure repairs

Reduced flow or inconsistent temperature at the shower usually traces back to a worn mixer valve or a supply line losing pressure further back, so your plumber runs both down before anything gets quoted.

Drain and waste repairs

A shower drain that's slow to clear or backing up gets cleared and the waste connection checked, since a poor seal at the drain is a common hidden source of a base leak.

Assembling pipe fittings before installation

Where shower faults are showing up

New builds occasionally reveal installation faults early

A house near Holmes Avenue finished within the last year or two can surface a shower leak that traces back to the original fit-off rather than wear.

Original bathrooms lose pressure gradually

Homes that have kept their 1960s bathroom layout often notice shower pressure declining slowly over years, easy to dismiss until it's genuinely inconvenient.

Common shower problems we fix

A shower base that leaks at the edges

Water escaping at the junction between the shower base and the wall or screen usually means the sealant has perished, and resealing it properly, rather than simply adding more silicone on top, fixes it for good.

Weak or fluctuating water pressure

A shower that's lost pressure or fluctuates between hot and cold can point to a failing mixer valve, a partially blocked supply line, or demand elsewhere in the house, and we test all three.

The van stocked with parts to fix it on the first visit

Why a shower leak deserves quick attention

A shower sits above finished flooring and often a ceiling below it, which raises the stakes on any leak:

  • Water travels further than it appears to A leak at shower level can track down into the subfloor or through to a ceiling below, showing up somewhere well away from the actual source.
  • A small leak becomes a bigger repair fast What starts as a failed seal can, left unaddressed, mean pulling up flooring or opening a ceiling once the water damage finally becomes visible.
  • Fixing the cause beats masking the symptom Extra silicone over a failed seal buys a little time at best, while properly diagnosing and correcting the actual fault stops the leak returning.

How it works

How a shower repair runs, step by step

  1. 01

    Call and tell us

    Ring (02) 9072 0511 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 03

    Diagnosed properly, then fixed

    The actual source gets confirmed first, whether that's a seal, a mixer valve or the waterproofing itself, and the fix targets that cause directly rather than treating the visible symptom alone.

  4. 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 Clontarf

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 Clontarf 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

Shower repairs, leaking or otherwise, cover Fairlight, Seaforth, Balgowlah, Balgowlah Heights, North Balgowlah and Clontarf, with the same honest diagnosis wherever the job is.

Good questions, straight answers

Shower repair questions from Clontarf locals

Water escaping from under the shower screen onto the bathroom floor. Serious problem?

Worth acting on quickly, that usually points to a failed seal or waterproofing membrane, and left alone the moisture can spread into the subfloor.

New ensuite shower leaking within the first year. Should that even happen?

It shouldn't, and if it's genuinely down to how it was installed, that's exactly what our Lifetime Labour Warranty is there to put right at no cost.

Original shower recess in a 1960s bathroom, water pressure has dropped noticeably. Related to the age?

Often, yes, corroding supply pipe or a worn mixer valve both reduce pressure over time, and we check both before assuming it's the shower head.

Multiple ensuites in a new build, one develops a leak. Are the others at risk too?

Not automatically, each shower's waterproofing and plumbing stands on its own, though we'll flag it honestly if we spot a pattern worth investigating.

Can a leaking shower be fixed without retiling the whole recess?

Often, yes, many leaks trace back to the seal or waste rather than the tiles themselves, so retiling isn't always the answer once diagnosed properly.

Is shower repair work covered by warranty the same as an installation?

Yes, every repair sits under the same Lifetime Labour Warranty as a new install, so if the issue turns out to be our own workmanship, it gets put right again without charge.
