Leaking Shower Repairs without removing tiles

You can tell that you’ll need a leaky shower fix based on these common signs:

• Cracked, eroded, crumbling, or missing grout.
• You see water stains, or water dripping from your ceiling.
• If there is water pooling outside the shower area, or water emerging from the walls of the shower enclosure.
• If water is visible in the rooms adjacent to the bathroom, which can be seen through stained or warped floorboards, or wet carpets.
• Wall paint is bubbling, flaking, or showing mould? That can also be a sign of a leaky shower.
• If you notice that portions of your grout are chipping off or are already discoloured, call immediately to check if necessary shower repairs are needed.
• Another indication of a leaky shower are moisture buildup or readings from building or pest inspections.
• Termite infestation indicates high moisture levels which can also be a sign of a leaky shower.

Even if there is no obvious leak but you’ve noticed these signs, then it’s time to call for an immediate bathroom leakage repair provider.

There are a few ways for you to determine where the issue of your leaky shower may be coming from:

• Turn on your shower and spray water within the shower enclosure. If there is water seeping outside and your curtain or glass enclosure does not have any gaps, you may need a shower screen repairs or shower screens replacement service.
• A shower tile repair is necessary if there is any breakage on the tiles or the grout on the shower walls.
  
• Let your water flow on your shower area for a time, then let it drain. Check your shower floor in a few hours. If there are noticeable wet areas or the water has not drained completely as expected, it’s time to call for a shower base repair.

If you think that a leak may be from elsewhere but cannot detect where it is coming from, we recommend calling an expert leaking shower repair technician to help you out.

There can be a number of reasons why you may experience a leaky shower. It can be caused by:

• Building movement resulting in a leaky shower because of extremely hot or cold weather.
• Weakening or cracking of grout and floor/wall junctions, which will need an immediate shower base repair.
• Sealing of waterproofing membrane have fallen apart due to age, or issues with installation, and will have to undergo (massive) shower repairs.

• Before going through the process of a leaking shower repair, it’s important to find out first where the leak is coming from, for us to determine what shower leak fix is needed.
• Once the source of the leak is confirmed, the next step is to keep the area dry for 24 hours or more before any repairs can be started.
• Any existing sealant and tile or wall grout must be removed to get to the source of the leak. Afterwards, the area must be cleaned of any excess dirt and dust.
• A specialised sealant will be applied to do the shower base repair, which will penetrate through the grout and the surrounding areas where the leak is coming from. Other adjoining walls and tile areas will also be applied with a specially designed sealant to make sure that the leak will not recur.
• Once the leaking shower repair is completed, the area must be thoroughly cleaned before use.

The DiamoSmart® System is engineered to be quicker, cleaner, and cheaper than other leaking shower repair processes. Here’s what we do to restore leaky showers back to its original quality:

– Remove any deteriorated sealants such as silicon

– Strip the existing grout off the walls

– Strip out any damaged grout from the floor area

– Strip out grout from around the drain

– Prepare floor and wall junctions using our DiamoSmart® system. This system uses a diamond-tipped blade that removes the sheen from the tile edge creating a small gully in wall and floor junctions

– Inject our SealRight sealant into the gully so it bonds the wall junctions and the floor, preventing wall and floor separation

– Re-grout walls and floor using commercial grade mould retardant grout

– Apply silicone to the internal areas of the shower screen

– Coat the internal shower area with our hydro barrier sealant creating an invisible glove to prevent water penetration. This sealant is painted or sprayed on the wall and floor tiles, forming a waterproof barrier beneath the surface of the grout. This soaks in and seals anything that is porous, such as grout lines and hairline cracks

Avoid breaking down your leaky shower and rebuilding it from scratch. Our DiamoSmart® system ensures that a leaking shower repair can be done by our specialised sealants that penetrate through the tile and grout surface. This secures cracks and waste pipes for the perfect shower leak fix.
