What are Some Signs That a Shower is Leaking?

Signs of a leaking shower include:

  • Water stains, bubbling paint, or a damp patch on the ceiling or wall below or beside the bathroom.
  • Loose, drummy or lifting tiles, or grout that’s cracked, crumbling, or missing.
  • Mould, mildew, or a musty smell that keeps coming back, no matter how often you clean.
  • Water pooling on the floor outside the shower, or swollen skirting boards and flooring.
  • A water bill that’s risen with no apparent explanation.
  • Peeling silicone around the shower screen, taps, or floor waste.

How Much Does Leaking Shower Repair Cost in Sydney?

The cost to repair a leaking shower depends on the cause. A worn tap washer or perished silicone seal is a small, low-cost job. A concealed pipe leak that needs leak detection and wall access costs more, and a failed waterproofing membrane that needs re-tiling is a bigger job again.

At All Needs Plumbing you always get an upfront, fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises. We also offer $50 off your first service and a 10% seniors’ discount. Plus, our call-outs are free during standard business hours (7:00am 4:00pm, Monday to Friday).

Recent Leaking Shower Work in Sydney

An East Hills homeowner called us about wet carpet in the bedroom just outside their ensuite. It had been damp for about two weeks and was slowly getting worse, and they had no idea where the water was coming from.

Our plumber pressure-tested the hot and cold lines to rule out a burst or leaking pipe behind the wall, then ran a dye test across the shower floor.

The dye came through almost immediately, which pinpointed the problem as failed waterproofing under the shower tiles rather than a plumbing fault.

We resealed the shower floor the same day. We also tested the mains and found the water pressure sitting at 1000kPa, high enough to stress fittings and seals throughout the house, so we fitted a pressure reducing valve at the meter to protect the rest of the plumbing.

What Our Customers Say

“Started noticing damp patches on the wall and turns out there was a hidden pipe leak behind it. Had a chance to meet Tommy from all needs plumbing who, tracked it down, fixed it properly, and made sure everything was sealed up. Super thorough, clear explanation, easy to deal with, and just handled it without any stress.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my shower leaking?

Shower leaks are generally caused by either:

  • Plumbing faults: These can include leaking mixers on taps, worn valves, cracked pipes behind walls, or leaking floor wastes.
  • Waterproofing failures: These can include cracked grouts, perished silicone or broken-down waterproof membrane.

Rely on our expert plumbers to identify the cause of your shower leak and implement solutions that last.

Can you fix a leaking shower without removing the tiles?

Yes, it is possible to fix leaking showers without removing any tiles. Our plumbers always aim to fix your leaking shower without removing tiles whenever possible.

Plumbing-source problems like taps, mixers, valves, and accessible pipes can often be fixed without disturbing tiles. We use advanced leak detection techniques to ensure we don’t remove tiles unless we need to.

If you have deeper waterproofing issues, tile removal is usually necessary. You can trust our plumbers to give you honest advice about when larger fixes are necessary.

What are the risks of a leaking shower?

A leaking shower can cause major problems in your home, including:

  • Structural damage: Leaking water can seep into walls and floors, causing extensive and expensive water damage over time.
  • Bathroom damage: Grout, tiles, cabinets, and more can be damaged due to leaking water.
  • Mould: Leaking showers can encourage mould growth in your bathroom and elsewhere in your home. This can cause damage, unpleasant smells, and even respiratory issues.
  • Electrical hazards: As water leaks, it can come into contact with electrical wiring in your home, raising risks of short circuiting or electrocution.
  • Increased water bills: Leaking showers rack up your water bill, meaning you throw more money down the drain.

Is a leaking shower an emergency?

Leaking showers often aren’t emergencies. However, you shouldn’t put off getting them fixed. They can cause serious damage in between rooms and floors in your home, among a range of other issues. The faster you get your shower leak fixed, the less time it has to cause problems.

If your shower is causing a significant leak that risks flooding, give us a call on 1300 110 230 for emergency plumbing.

How do you find where a shower is leaking?

We inspect the shower and the area below, then use non-invasive leak detection to trace hidden leaks behind walls and under floors. This allows us to pinpoint the source without ripping your bathroom apart.

How much does it cost to fix a leaking shower?

It depends on the cause. A worn tap seal is a small, cheaper job. A concealed pipe leak or defective waterproofing will cost more to resolve.

Whatever it is, you’ll get an upfront, fixed price before we start our repairs. We also offer $50 off your first service and a 10% seniors’ discount.

Do you repair leaking shower taps and mixers?

Yes. Re-washering, reseating or replacing worn taps, mixers, valves, and cartridges are some of the most common fixes for leaking showers. We also repair taps anywhere else they’re causing problems in your home.

Can I fix a leaking shower myself?

If your leaking shower is caused by very minor issues like small edges in your shower screen, you could attempt a DIY fix using solutions like silicone. However, when you work with a high-quality professional plumber, you can rest assured that the full cause and extent of your leaking shower is understood and resolved.
