Shower Drain Repair – Wallsend
Here’s how we helped a Wallsend homeowner repair a leaking shower drain and prevent water damage beneath the bathroom floor.
Background
After noticing water lingering around the shower base after use, the homeowner suspected the drainage wasn’t functioning as it should. With concerns that water may be spreading beyond the bathroom and into the subfloor, they contacted our team to investigate the issue before it escalated.
Inspection and Diagnosis
We focused our inspection on the drainage point, checking water flow, sealing, and the surrounding shower base. While the tiles and structure were in good condition, the drain area itself was allowing water to escape instead of directing it away efficiently. A targeted drain repair was identified as the best way to restore proper function and prevent further leakage.
Our Solution
We carried out the required drain repairs and ensured the area was correctly sealed to stop water escaping beneath the shower. The work was completed with durability in mind, protecting both the shower base and the flooring below.
Result
Water now drains as intended, with no pooling or leakage around the shower base. The homeowner can use their shower without worrying about hidden water damage developing over time.
