Our Repair Process

Shower repairs have become a fast growing market due to the negligence and short cuts taken by the construction industry. We receive many phone calls everyday relating to leaking showers and unfortunately some of these residential and commercial dwellings are under 1 year old.

Simply put, showers leak due to inadequate preparation and in most circumstances the waterproofing has not been carried out correctly. Many companies out there claim to stop leaking showers without the removal of tiles at a low cost, added with a 15 year warranty. You will think so what’s the problem? Sure there is the method of simply applying a sealant over the existing tiles as opposed to removing the existing tiles and re-waterproofing the substrate (which is the most correct method). However the problem with applying a sealer over the existing tiles would more than likely have the problem occur again due to building movement, the sealer is so brittle that it is likely to crack hence allowing water to seep through again. It is important you read the fine print before using the sealant option.

We believe our repair methods are second to none. Why? We do it the way it needs to be done first time round and do not offer any quick fix solutions that sees your shower continue to leak. Due to our continued growth we have formed a separate division which its primary focus and goal are directed solely on repairing leaking showers and nothing else. Below we will take you through step by step, our shower repair method which will help you realise that this method is not one of many but in fact the only method to achieve 100% satisfaction and quality.
