The Shower Man Melbourne fixes leaking showers permanently with a complete shower rebuild — removing the existing finishes, repairing substrates, and installing a new waterproofing system and tiled finish.
The Shower Man Melbourne provides a 10-year waterproofing warranty.
Unfortunately, re-grouting and re-sealing with epoxy and injectables will not provide a permanent solution. We would not offer a warranty on something knowing we could not stand by it.
If grouting has failed or a shower is leaking, this is almost always caused by the shower waterproofing failing or the workmanship of the initial shower construction.
When a shower is properly waterproofed per AS-3740-2010, Waterproofing of Domestic areas, and tiled per AS 3958.1—1991 Installation of Ceramic Tiles, it will not fail under normal circumstances. Grout should not deteriorate, and tiles should never crack or leak.
Grout deterioration and leakage are symptoms of a poorly built shower.
To recommend the right fix, we need to see your shower in person. Every shower is different — construction, size, substrates and access all vary — so an accurate scope of works can only come from an on-site visit.
We don’t do free quotes. Instead, we offer a $159 Professional Shower Assessment & Rectification Quote ($299 for a bathroom renovation consultation). A qualified, police-checked member of our in-house team visually assesses your shower, talks you through the recommended rectification approach, and prepares a quotation and proposed scope of works.
This visit is for customers considering having us carry out the rectification works. It is not a leak detection or inspection service — we don’t carry out moisture testing, diagnostic testing or invasive investigations, and we don’t provide written inspection reports.
If you go ahead with any of our full turnkey packages, the site visit fee is credited off your final invoice.
We charge for the visit so that clients who go ahead aren’t paying for endless free quotes for people who never intend to book work. It also means every quote is properly considered, not a rushed sales pitch.
Every job is different, however, as a general guide, The Shower Man Melbourne needs the following time frames to carry out work;
At The Shower Man Melbourne, we strive to provide our customers with high-quality shower repair services that last. Our experienced professionals are committed to delivering excellent results and outstanding customer service. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are always here to help.
Professional Shower Assessment & Rectification Quote – $159
When your shower is leaking, cracked or showing signs of waterproofing failure, you need to understand what work is required to fix it properly. At The Shower Man Melbourne, we specialise in rebuilding failed showers and providing long-term waterproofing solutions. Every visit is carried out by our qualified, police-checked in-house team, never subcontractors.
Our professional site visit is designed to visually assess your shower, discuss the recommended rectification approach and provide a detailed quotation and proposed scope of works.
✔ Professional On-Site Visual Assessment, We assess the visible condition of your shower, including tiles, grout, silicone, shower base, junctions and other accessible areas.
✔ Waterproofing & Construction Considerations, We identify visible signs of potential waterproofing failure, deterioration or construction issues relevant to NCC and AS 3740 requirements.
✔ Recommended Rectification Solution, We explain the works we recommend to achieve a long-term solution rather than a temporary patch.
✔ Rectification Action Plan, We outline the proposed works, which may include demolition, substrate repairs, waterproofing, tiling and associated works.
✔ Detailed Quotation, We prepare a quotation outlining the recommended scope of rectification works and the associated costs.
If you’re considering rebuilding your leaking or deteriorated shower, our team can assess the visible condition and provide a professional quotation and proposed rectification plan.
Our $159 site visit is specifically for customers considering professional shower rebuilding or rectification works. It includes a visual assessment, consultation and a quotation outlining the proposed rectification works. We do not undertake leak detection, diagnostic testing, invasive investigations or provide written inspection reports.
Where a shower is leaking or shows signs of waterproofing failure or non-compliant construction, our minimum rectification service is a complete shower rebuild. Please only proceed if you are considering engaging us to carry out the recommended works.
We specialise in permanent shower rectification, not temporary leak repairs.
Where a shower is leaking or shows signs of waterproofing failure or non-compliant construction, the minimum rectification service we offer is a complete shower rebuild. We do not offer isolated grout or silicone repairs, waterproofing patches or other temporary treatments as solutions to a failed shower.
Rebuilding allows the existing shower finishes to be removed, exposed substrates to be assessed and necessary repairs undertaken before installing a new waterproofing system and tiled finish. Where damage extends beyond the shower, additional bathroom works may be required. The full extent of concealed damage cannot always be determined until demolition has commenced.
Our $159 site visit is a rectification consultation and quotation service, not a diagnostic leak detection or building inspection service. We do not provide:
✕ Specialist leak detection or water testing
✕ Plumbing pressure testing
✕ Thermal imaging or moisture mapping
✕ Invasive or destructive investigations
✕ Removal of tiles, walls or flooring for investigative purposes
✕ Testing to determine the precise source of a leak
✕ Formal defect or compliance reports
✕ Written diagnostic inspection reports
✕ Insurance or legal expert assessments
If you need detailed diagnostic testing or investigation before considering rectification works, please engage an independent specialist.
