Shower leak repairs that don't come back in six months.
Most shower leaks in Melbourne homes are traced to failed grout, cracked hobs, or a waterproofing membrane that was never installed correctly. We diagnose the actual failure point, strip only what needs stripping, and rebuild to AS3740.

Shower Leak Repairs — the honest answers.
Can you just re-grout instead of rebuilding?
Sometimes — if diagnostic moisture readings show the membrane is intact and only the surface grout has failed. We tell you honestly which category your leak falls into.
Do you cover the resulting damage (ceiling, floor)?
We repair the shower itself and can quote the make-good on adjacent damage. Existing damage is usually claimable on your home insurance.
