A real person answers, day or night
A leaking shower rarely stays contained to the shower
Water finds the nearest gap, wall cavity or floor, and keeps going. Call (02) 9072 0597, and a straightforward explanation of what's actually behind the leak comes before anything gets booked.
Original ensuites carrying decades of use
- Bathrooms built through the 1960s, 70s and 80s carry their original waterproofing membrane in many cases Decades of daily use eventually tires that membrane, and a screen or valve that looks fine can still be sitting above a failed barrier underneath.
- A leak showing at the base of an old shower screen is a common local pattern It's rarely the screen itself at fault, the membrane behind the tiles has usually given way first.
- We confirm which one is actually at fault before recommending a fix Replacing a valve when the membrane has failed doesn't solve the real problem, and we won't quote the wrong repair.
Shower repair services we provide
Whatever's leaking, dripping or has stopped working properly, it gets diagnosed properly first:
Leaking shower diagnosis
We trace the leak back to whatever's actually causing it, a valve, a screen seal or the waterproofing underneath, rather than guessing and hoping the first fix happens to be right.
Shower valve and mixer repair
Worn valves and mixers that swing hot and cold or won't shut off fully get corrected or swapped for a properly matched part, checked under real use before we call it finished.
Screen and seal repairs
Failing screen seals and door tracks get replaced properly, stopping water escaping onto the bathroom floor without needing to remove and reinstall the entire screen unnecessarily.
Rain head and mixer installation
New rain heads and mixer sets get installed to the correct fall and pressure, connected to existing or upgraded supply lines so the fitting performs the way it was designed to.
New showers with new problems
- Rebuild bathrooms increasingly specify frameless glass screens and ceiling-mounted rain heads That's a very different install to the original tiled recess many surviving fibro and brick cottages near Stirgess Avenue still carry.
- A leak in one of these new showers usually points to a fitting error made during the original install The hardware itself is generally reliable, the fault sits in how it was fitted.
- Checking the valve body and the wall penetration settles the question That happens before any tiles get disturbed unnecessarily chasing the wrong cause.
Common shower repair problems we fix
Two patterns show up again and again on shower call-outs:
Water escaping past the screen
Water reaching the floor outside the shower recess usually traces to a worn door seal or an incorrectly set screen, both straightforward to correct without touching the surrounding tiling.
A valve stuck between hot and cold
A mixer valve that won't hold a stable temperature points to a worn cartridge inside it, and replacing that specific part restores proper control without needing to replace the whole valve body.
Why a leaking shower deserves quick attention
A shower leak rarely improves by waiting:
Hidden water damages structure over time
Mould follows moisture reliably
A small leak signals a bigger one is coming
How it works
The shower repair process, step by step
Four steps, from diagnosis to a tested fix:
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0597 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 and repair
We confirm the actual source of the leak before touching anything, repair the fault at that source, and run water through the shower again to confirm it's genuinely resolved.
- 04
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 Curl Curl
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 Curl Curl 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.
Where we work
Areas we service
This shower repair crew covers Freshwater, Dee Why, Brookvale, North Curl Curl and Queenscliff as well, diagnosing both original tiled recesses and new frameless installs.
Good questions, straight answers
Shower repair questions from Curl Curl locals
Our 1970s ensuite leaks near the base of the shower screen. Is that a plumbing fault?
Sometimes, though a screen leak this old more often points to a failed waterproofing membrane underneath, and we identify which one it is before recommending any actual repair.
New rebuild, frameless glass shower with a rain head. Why would that leak so soon?
Usually a fitting error during the original install rather than a product fault, and we check the valve body and wall penetration properly before assuming the glass itself is the problem.
How do you tell a leaking shower from just normal condensation?
Condensation dries within an hour or two and stays confined to the shower recess, while a genuine leak keeps reappearing or spreads beyond the shower area regardless of ventilation.
Can a shower valve be replaced without retiling the whole wall?
Often, yes, depending on the valve type and how the original tiling was set, and we assess that properly on site rather than assuming a full retile is required.
Do you fix the waterproofing membrane yourselves, or just the plumbing?
The plumbing and valve work is ours directly, while membrane repair is a licensed waterproofing trade we coordinate with so the whole job gets properly sequenced and signed off.
What warranty applies to a shower repair specifically?
Yes, our Lifetime Labour Warranty stands behind the plumbing work itself, so a leak that somehow returns gets traced and fixed again without another invoice being raised.
