A real person answers, day or night
A shower leak stops being cosmetic the moment water slips behind the tiles
Grout that darkens or a base that stays wet after the tap is off is rarely surface trouble, because behind the wall that water is already tracking into timber, plasterboard and the unit beneath you.
Why showers here fail two completely different ways
The apartment towers weep from the fittings
The pre-war cottages weep from the recess
Both hide for months
Shower repairs we carry out
Our shower work spans a quick cartridge swap through to a full recess rebuild, and every visit begins by proving where the water genuinely escapes rather than simply resealing whatever looks worst on the surface:
Mixer and tail renewal
Worn cartridges and perished flexi tails feeding a concealed wall mixer are swapped for quality parts in one visit, returning steady pressure to the rose so a tower bathroom stops feeding the cavity and the quarterly water bill settles again.
Membrane and re-seals
Failed silicone beads, drummy tiles and a cracked floor-to-wall junction are stripped back and rebuilt over a proper membrane, which matters most in the older cottages where one perished bead has quietly fed a solid-brick wall frame for many years.
Waste and falls
Pooling water that never quite clears from a base points to a floor laid to the wrong fall, so we reset the waste, regrade the tray and end the standing damp that slowly rots a timber-framed bathroom floor from beneath.
Strata leak reports
Water surfacing on a neighbour's ceiling turns one shower into a shared dispute, so we pinpoint, document and repair the true source cleanly, handing the owners corporation the written report it needs to close the claim off without further argument.
Where a shower leak hides longest around here
Density buries the evidence
Rental turnover hides the history
Cottage renovations reopen old sins
Common shower faults we answer
Dripping after shut-off
A shower still dripping once the tap is fully closed almost always points to a worn cartridge, the same part behind most dripping taps, and it is a quick first-visit swap that ends the constant loss.
Damp in the room below
When a downstairs ceiling blisters or a neighbour reports a damp patch, the shower overhead is first suspect, and a proper leak trace separates a failed waste from a cracked membrane before anything is opened up.
Fading or surging pressure
Pressure that fades to a trickle or surges whenever another tap opens usually traces to a silted mixer or a tired supply line, and clearing or renewing the culprit restores an even shower without disturbing a single tile.
Why catching a shower leak early pays
Left alone a shower leak never stays put, and like most of the plumbing we handle the cost of waiting climbs from a bead of silicone to structural repair, so early action rewards you three ways:
- You protect the structure Water tracking into a timber floor or double-brick cavity rots joists and blows plaster before it ever shows, so acting now can spare a full bathroom rebuild.
- You dodge a strata claim In a unit a hidden leak becomes ceiling damage below: a dispute, an insurance excess and a conversation with a neighbour you would rather not have.
- You keep the bill honest A steady drip and a silted mixer waste water every day, so a real fix shows up on your next account instead of the bathroom floor.
How it works
How the repair runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 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
Trace, then repair
Diagnosis leads: we flood-test the base, pressure-check the mixer and read the cavity, isolate the one point that has failed, then reseal, regrade or renew only that, tidy the tiling back and leave the recess watertight and the room dry.
- 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 Hurstville
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 Hurstville 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.
On a wet area, a genuine trace paired with lasting workmanship is what stops the same stain returning next winter.
Where we work
Areas we service
Past the town centre we chase shower leaks through Penshurst, Mortdale, Allawah, Kogarah and Beverly Hills, running tower mixer parts and cottage waterproofing kit in the same van so a first visit usually settles the recess for good.

Good questions, straight answers
Shower repair questions Hurstville locals ask
Can you fix a shower that leaks into the unit below?
Yes, we trace the source in the stacked apartments, repair the failed waste, membrane or flexi tail, and hand you the written report a strata manager needs to close it out.
Why do the cottages here crack at the shower recess?
The pre-war double-brick homes on the side streets were tiled without a modern membrane, so after decades the floor-to-wall junction splits and lets water seep into the wall frame behind.
Do I need to retile the whole bathroom?
Usually not, because most leaks trace back to a mixer, a waste or a single failed junction that we repair in place, so a full retile stays the exception rather than the rule.
How much does a shower repair cost?
The price is put in writing once your plumber has looked over the shower, and it holds from there, so with the call out at $0 you see the full price before deciding.
Will you match the existing tiles and silicone?
Where a re-seal or a small tile patch is needed we colour-match the grout and silicone as closely as the range allows, so the finished recess reads tidy rather than obviously patched.
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
Yes, the workmanship is guaranteed for life, so a fault that traces back to our repair is put right again with no further labour cost to you.
