A real person answers, day or night
A shower that's leaking is rarely just about the water
Staining, mould or a soft patch near a shower recess is usually the visible end of a problem that started somewhere less obvious. Call (02) 9072 0513 and get it properly traced before it spreads further.
What makes a leaking shower more than a one-property issue here
- Original semis from the 1909 subdivision were built close along a shared party wall, and a bathroom positioned against that wall puts a shower recess right where moisture can travel A leak that's been running quietly can surface as a neighbour's problem before it's obvious on the side it started.
- Many original terrace bathrooms were fitted without windows or proper extraction, relying on a door left open for airflow Constant humidity in a space like that speeds up how fast a small waterproofing fault turns into visible mould or staining.
Shower repair services we provide
Every leaking shower gets traced to its actual cause before any repair is recommended:
Waterproofing and membrane repair
Failed or missing membrane behind tiling gets identified and properly repaired, addressing the actual barrier that's letting water through rather than simply resealing the surface and hoping it holds.
Shower waste and drain repair
A slow-draining or leaking shower waste gets cleared or replaced, since a waste connection that isn't sealed properly can mimic a waterproofing fault while the actual cause sits underneath the tray.
Shower screen and tapware leaks
Leaks at a screen seal or shower mixer get identified and resealed or replaced, stopping water escaping the recess at the source rather than the tiles further down the wall.
Party-wall moisture assessment
Where a leak could plausibly be shared with a neighbouring property, this crew checks both sides of the wall where access allows, confirming whether the source is isolated or genuinely shared.

Common shower repair problems we fix
Mould that keeps returning despite cleaning
Recurring mould around grout lines or a recess edge almost always means moisture getting in behind the surface, and sealing the actual entry point stops the mould returning rather than just removing what's visible.
Water escaping past the shower base
Water reaching the floor outside the shower recess usually means a failed seal at the base or screen, and identifying exactly where it's escaping prevents flooring damage that spreads well beyond the bathroom itself.
Why a leaking shower is worth fixing before it's obvious
A shower leak rarely announces itself the moment it starts:
- Timber framing and subfloor absorb moisture long before staining appears on a wall By the time a leak is visible, structural material behind it has often already been affected for some time.
- A shared party wall turns a private repair into a neighbour's problem too Leaving a leak against a shared wall risks the damage, and the conversation about it, extending well beyond your own bathroom.
- Mould linked to sustained moisture is a health concern, not just a cosmetic one A bathroom with poor ventilation and an active leak creates exactly the conditions mould needs to establish itself properly.
How it works
Repairing a leaking shower, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0513 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Trace, confirm, repair
The leak is traced to its actual source, checking membrane, waste and tapware separately, with either side of a shared wall confirmed too wherever that's genuinely relevant.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Clovelly
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Clovelly works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Photos of the staining or mould pattern, sent through before the visit, often help narrow down the likely cause before this crew even arrives on site.
Where we work
Areas we service
This crew traces leaking showers throughout Clovelly and the neighbouring suburbs of Coogee, Bronte, Randwick, Waverley and Charing Cross, treating a shared-wall semi with exactly the same care as a standalone bathroom.
Good questions, straight answers
Shower repair questions from Clovelly locals
Could a leaking shower in our Eastbourne Avenue semi actually be coming from next door?
It's worth checking, some original semis share a party wall closely enough that moisture from one side's shower recess can travel through and show up as staining on the other.
Why does our shower recess keep growing mould no matter how often it's cleaned?
Persistent mould despite regular cleaning usually points to moisture getting behind the tiles rather than sitting on the surface, which cleaning alone can never actually reach or fix.
Is a leaking shower always a waterproofing problem, or could it be the plumbing itself?
Either is possible, a proper trace checks the waste connection, the tapware and the membrane separately, since treating the wrong one just means paying to fix the same leak twice.
Do older terrace bathrooms without windows make shower leaks harder to spot early?
Often yes, poor ventilation lets moisture linger longer before it's noticeable, so a leak in an unventilated bathroom can be well established by the time any staining actually appears.
Can a shower recess be repaired without retiling the whole bathroom?
Sometimes, if the fault is isolated to the waste or a specific section of membrane this crew can often repair it without disturbing tiling that's otherwise still sound.
How urgent is a shower that's leaking but not yet causing visible damage?
Worth booking in reasonably soon, a leak that hasn't shown itself yet is still doing quiet damage behind the scenes, and it's a smaller job the earlier it's actually traced.
