How do I know my shower is leaking?
Not sure if that damp patch or smell is a problem? Common signs include:
- Mould or musty odours
 - Peeling paint or bubbling walls
 - Water pooling outside your shower
 - Soft or discoloured grout lines
 
If you notice any of these, it’s time to get it checked. Small leaks often hide behind tiles and walls where they quietly cause damage.
Seen any of these? You may need more than a quick patch-up. Learn about our Shower Repairs services.

Frequently Asked Questions
					 How do I know if my shower is leaking? 
							
			
			
		
						
				Look out for damp walls, peeling paint, mould, or water pooling outside the shower. You might also notice a musty smell or damaged skirting boards. If you suspect a leak, get it checked ASAP to avoid costly water damage.
					 What causes a leaking shower? 
							
			
			
		
						
				Leaking showers are caused by failed waterproofing, cracked grout or tiles, damaged seals, or leaking pipes behind the wall. We’ll inspect the area to find the exact cause before any repairs are done.

				Yes, if left untreated, water can seep into the walls and floors and cause timber rot, mould, or weakened structures. Always get leaks fixed as soon as possible.
