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.

- AS 3740 waterproofing compliance

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
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
What other leak repairers won’t tell you.
Side-by-side with what most homeowners actually get when they pay someone to “fix a leaking shower”; no spin, no fine print. Just what we include as standard, and what tends to quietly get left off elsewhere.

What happens when you call us about a leaking shower in Sydney?
Same upfront pricing whether it’s a slow ceiling stain, perished silicone in a family bathroom, or a failed membrane in a strata block. Here is exactly what to expect from the first call to the warranty.
Tell us what you’re seeing
Ceiling stain below, musty smell, swollen skirting, bubbling paint or water outside the recess; and how long it’s been happening. We use this to load the right leak-detection gear and sealing materials before we leave.
Booking Recorded
Visit details confirmed
Licensed plumber traces the leak
A qualified plumber inspects the grout, silicone, tiles, hob and outlet, then flood-tests the recess and reads it with a moisture meter and thermal camera to pinpoint where water is escaping; before quoting.
On-site Assessment
Fault checked in context
Fixed price with options, in writing
You get an upfront price and the repair options, least invasive first; regrout and reseal, an epoxy membrane re-seal without removing tiles, or a full re-tile and re-waterproof. You decide. No upsell, no pressure.
Scope and Price
Confirmed before repair
Sealed, flood-tested and warranted
We complete the repair, restore the waterproofing to AS 3740, then flood-test again to confirm the leak has stopped, leave the recess clean; backed by our workmanship warranty.
Completion Check
Result and records reviewed
Urgent call; we triage in 60 seconds
Water pouring through a ceiling, a light fitting filling below, or the only bathroom out of action. We know what’s genuinely urgent and dispatch the closest leak plumber.
Urgent Call Logged
Risk details recorded
Make it safe while we’re en route
We talk you through stopping use of the shower, drying the area, and keeping water off powerpoints, the exhaust fan and downstairs lights; so damage is contained before we arrive.
Immediate Safety
Next safe step explained
Same-day trace, no waiting overnight
Moisture meter, thermal camera and flood-test kit carried on the truck, so most leaks are located on the first visit; even the hidden ones tracking behind the wall or under the floor.

Access Details
Entry and parking recorded
Compliance and SWMS
Plumbing licence, $10M public liability, SWMS and JSA documents prepared and supplied before we step on site; no chasing.
Responsibility Check
Shared services considered
Scoped quote with leak evidence
For recurring or multiple leaks we moisture-map and flood-test first, then quote the repair, plus any waterproofing renewal, with the readings to back it up.
Fault Located
Evidence guides the repair
Scheduled repair around your operations
After-hours and weekend repairs available so bathrooms and wet areas stay open. We leave the site clean with a report for your records.
Next Step Agreed
Access, scope and price clear
Traced properly, sealed properly, and guaranteed in writing
Every leaking shower we repair is covered by our workmanship warranty on the work we did, with an upfront fixed price and no call-out fee. If a leak we sealed returns from the same cause, we come back; that is the whole point of flood-testing before we leave.
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.
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
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

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.
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
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
