Sydney shower leak specialists

The crew that finds and fixes leaking showers across Sydney

Tracing a shower leak is careful, patient work; not something to guess at with a hammer. We arrive with a moisture meter, thermal camera and flood-test gear so we can prove exactly where water is escaping before we quote a single repair.

From a first-floor ensuite dripping onto a Randwick living-room ceiling to perished silicone letting water behind a Cronulla hob, our licensed Sydney plumbers have traced thousands of shower leaks the right way; by testing and diagnosing, not by tearing out a bathroom on a hunch. Every job ends with a flood test that proves the leak has stopped and a plain explanation of what caused it.

Before vs After

What changes when a licensed plumber fixes the leak properly?

A leaking shower is one of the easiest jobs to bodge; and the most expensive when a surface patch hides water rotting the structure. Here is exactly what shifts when a licensed Sydney plumber traces and seals it instead of smearing silicone.

Before

Silicone smear, DIY or a handyman

  • The visible symptom has no confirmed source
  • A repair is chosen before the cause is checked
  • Access or price changes are left unexplained
  • The same symptom returns without further testing
  • There is no clear handover record

After

Licensed Fixed Today repair

  • The fault is checked with a suitable diagnostic method
  • The likely cause and repair options are explained
  • The scope and price are approved before paid work
  • The result is tested before handover
  • Relevant invoice, warranty and compliance records are supplied
What you’ll actually get

The exact thread you’ll see on leak booking day

No marketing fluff. Every leaking shower customer gets a thread like this on the day; booked, plumber assigned, ETA, vehicle ID, knock at the door. You always know what’s next.

  1. Booked

    A real plumber assigned, in writing.

    Your 2-hour window, plumber name, vehicle and the exact job; confirmed by SMS within minutes. Not a queue, not a callback.

  2. Routed

    Live ETA, refreshed as they drive.

    Once your plumber leaves the depot the ETA SMS auto-refreshes. No need to call and ask whether they’re still coming.

  3. Warned

    5-minute heads-up at the door.

    We text when the plumber is 5 minutes away, including vehicle and plate so you know who’s knocking before you open the door.

  4. Honoured

    Late-fee waiver, automatic.

    Miss the window without warning and the call-out portion of your invoice is automatically waived. No claim form, no negotiation.

On-Time, Live

We turn up when we say we will; here is the proof

Every leaking shower job we attended today, with the booked window, the actual arrival time, and whether we hit it. We publish the misses too; and waive the call-out fee when we cause one.

Why licensing matters

Licensed plumber vs. unlicensed worker

Plumbing work in NSW must be carried out by a licensed plumber. It is not just a formality, licensing protects your home, your insurance, and your right to recourse if something goes wrong.

Licensed plumber

What you get

  • Work is insured and meets the National Plumbing Code
  • Compliance Certificate issued for every job
  • Home insurance and warranty stay valid
  • Statutory warranty backed by NSW Fair Trading
  • Clear path to dispute resolution if needed
Unlicensed worker

What you risk

  • Work may breach the NSW Plumbing and Drainage Act
  • No Compliance Certificate: issues at resale
  • Home insurance claims commonly denied
  • No statutory warranty on the work performed
  • Limited recourse: Fair Trading cannot assist
Our NSW Plumbing Licence 236784C Fixed Today Plumbing Pty Ltd

Most home insurance policies will not pay out for damage caused by unlicensed plumbing work. A burst hot water unit from a non-compliant install can void cover on the entire claim, often tens of thousands of dollars.

Customer Reviews

What Sydney says after we’ve stopped the leak

A leaking shower is a slow-burn emergency; a stained ceiling and a rotting floor you can’t see. These are real customers; failed membranes, cracked grout, mystery ceiling stains; telling you what the experience was actually like.

4.8★★★★★ 4.7★★★★★ 4.6★★★★★ 4.5★★★★★
Mark Henderson Facebook
★★★★☆

Good honest service. The plumber was upfront about what needed fixing versus what could wait. Appreciated that they didn’t try to upsell. Job was completed quickly and cleanly. Only reason for 4 stars is the initial wait time was a bit longer than quoted.

Leaking Taps Newtown
Lisa Nguyen Yelp
★★★★★

Used Fixed Today for a stormwater drainage issue at our property. They did a camera inspection, showed me the footage, and explained the options clearly. The repair work was completed on schedule and they followed up a week later to check everything was flowing properly.

Blocked Drains Marrickville
Chris O’Brien Yelp
★★★★☆

Solid work on our kitchen mixer tap replacement. The plumber suggested a better quality tap than what I originally picked and it’s been great. Fair pricing and tidy workmanship. Would recommend to neighbours.

Leaking Taps Mosman
Ryan Patel Trustpilot
★★★★★

Called about a running toilet that was wasting water. They sent someone the same afternoon and it was sorted within an hour. Flat rate pricing, no call-out fee, and the plumber was friendly and knowledgeable. Exactly the kind of service you want.

Our hot water system died on a Friday night. Fixed Today came out Saturday morning, diagnosed the issue, and gave us clear options with pricing before starting any work. New system installed same day. Professional, punctual, and genuinely helpful.

Hot Water Bondi

★★★★★

We needed our entire bathroom plumbing redone during a renovation. Fixed Today coordinated with our builder, stuck to the timeline, and the quality of work is excellent. The lifetime labour guarantee gives us peace of mind. Highly recommend for any renovation plumbing.

Homeowner’s Handbook

How to keep your shower watertight

A short editorial guide written by our senior plumbers and waterproofers. No fluff, no scare tactics; just the habits and checks that catch a shower leak early, and how to tell a real repair from a lazy silicone smear.

Homeowner checks

The six habits that keep a shower watertight

  • Re-seal perished silicone before it fails
  • Understand the real culprits behind a shower leak
  • Never just silicone over a spreading stain
  • Treat a returning stain as a symptom, not paint failure
  • Watch for the early warning signs
  • Know what a proper leak repair looks like
Quote checklist

Walk-away signs on a leaking shower job

  • They quote a fix before finding where it leaks
  • The “repair” is just a run of silicone over the crack
  • No flood test before or after the work
  • Straight to “we’ll have to rip out all the tiles”
  • No mention of restoring the waterproofing to AS 3740
  • No workmanship warranty on the repair
Trust check

Verify a plumber’s licence yourself. Service NSW lets anyone verify a plumber’s contractor licence in under a minute; and waterproofing repairs legally require one. Bookmark the link: it’s the single most useful tool a homeowner has.
