Does your tiled shower leak or need constant repairs?
We specialise in full tiled-shower rebuilds that fix the cause, not just the symptoms. Patch jobs rarely last; when membranes fail or grout cracks, water gets into framing and subfloors. Our team diagnoses the leak, rebuilds correctly, and waterproofs to NZ standards for a durable, healthy bathroom.
Why act now
- Leaks spread into timber, linings and subfloors — costs escalate fast.
- Mould and mildew harm indoor air quality.
- Property value takes a hit with water damage history.
- Early intervention is almost always cheaper than a full structural repair later.
Signs your tiled shower is leaking
- Persistent dampness or unexplained wet patches near the shower
- Musty odours, mould on grout or walls
- Cracked/loose tiles, missing grout, swollen skirtings or architraves
- Water stains on nearby walls/ceilings or rooms below
- Decreased pressure or a constantly dripping shower head
Common causes we fix
- Failed waterproofing membranes or missing upstands
- Porous/missing grout, cracked tiles or hollow spots
- Shrunk or cracked silicone at junctions and penetrations
- Plumbing faults: worn mixers, loose connections, pin-holed pipes
- Poor falls/drainage or failing shower bases
- High-flow heads or house movement stressing grout lines
Our leak-free shower solution (proven process)
- Free consultation & diagnosis: We inspect, find the root cause, and outline options to suit your budget and timeline.
- Careful strip-out & assessment: Remove tiles/grout/base to expose framing and plumbing; replace any rotten timber and address water damage.
- Rebuild & waterproof: Install backer boards and a custom shower pan with integrated tile flange; apply quality membranes on walls and floor to meet or exceed NZ standards.
- Plumbing upgrade (if needed): Replace faulty pipes/valves and install quality mixers. Optional low-flow head to reduce pressure stress.

FAQs
Do I need council consent to replace my shower?
If you’re installing a new tiled shower (where one didn’t exist) or increasing sanitary fixtures, consent is usually required. We confirm requirements and manage the application if needed.
How much does it cost?
We’ll assess size, tile selection, water damage and plumbing scope, then provide a fixed-price quote after the inspection.
My leak is small — can I just re-grout?
Re-grouting or silicone can be a short-term patch. If the membrane has failed, the leak will return. We’ll diagnose the cause and recommend the most cost-effective long-term fix.
How long will it take?
Most leak-free rebuilds take 1–2 weeks once underway (tile choice and scope dependent). We confirm timelines with your quote.
Do you guarantee the work?
Yes — our tiled shower rebuilds carry an up to 5-year workmanship warranty.
