A real person answers, day or night
A shower that quietly leaks never announces itself until the ceiling below does
By the time a stain shows downstairs, water has been moving through the wall for weeks. Ring (02) 9072 0592 and we will trace the water back to its real source.
Why showers fail early in the older walk-up flats
The dense pocket of 1960s to 80s brick flats around Denison Street and Heffron Road holds some of the oldest wet areas in the district, and their showers tend to give way first.
Original recess waterproofing
Shared walls spread the damage
Shower repairs we handle
From a drip you can hear at night to a recess quietly rotting the frame behind it, here is the shower repair work we take on in the local flats and houses, proven and sealed:
Leaking mixers
Worn cartridges and perished seals let a mixer weep long after the tap is shut, so we strip the valve down, renew the internal parts or swap the body outright, then reset the temperature stop for good.
Failed waste seals
Water escaping around the floor waste usually means a tired puddle flange or a cracked connection under the tiles, which we expose, replace and reseal so the recess drains properly instead of feeding the slab below.
Regrouting and resealing
Cracked grout lines and shrunken silicone quietly wick water into the wall cavity of these older brick flats, so we rake them right out, reseal the movement joints and rebuild a barrier that genuinely keeps the recess dry.
Shower head and arm
Dripping heads, seized diverters and arms weeping at the wall plate waste hot water every single day, so we rebuild or replace the fitting and choose tapware that stands up to the salt this close to the bay.
The two shower jobs the local housing throws up
The suburb splits cleanly into old and new, and each side leaks in its own way.
The tired recesses off Maxwell Road
The newer fit-outs off Banks Avenue
Common shower problems we fix
Two patterns turn up on nearly every call:
Water in the next room
When a carpet edge or skirting outside the bathroom stays damp, the shower recess is losing water sideways through a failed seal, and we pinpoint the exact breach so only the guilty section is opened rather than the whole wall.
The shower that never dries
A recess that stays wet hours after use points to a blocked or sunken floor waste holding water against the tiles, which we clear and re-level so the base drains fully and stops feeding mould underneath.
Pressure dropping off
A shower fading to a trickle usually traces to a silted rose or a failing mixer cartridge rather than the mains, and we clean or renew the culprit so the flow returns without touching the supply pressure.
Why fixing a shower leak early matters
A slow shower leak costs far more the longer it runs, and here is what waiting actually buys you:
- Water rots what it reaches A leaking recess feeds the wall frame and the floor below until timber softens and tiles drum loose. Caught early it is a seal; left alone it becomes a rebuild.
- The damage crosses into other homes In a shared block one flat's shower can stain a neighbour's ceiling, turning a private repair into a strata conversation nobody wanted.
- Mould follows the moisture A cavity kept damp grows mould you cannot see, and the health and cleanup bill dwarfs the cost of stopping the water when it first showed.
How it works
How a shower repair runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 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, fix and reseal
Rather than chase the stain, we confirm the leak with a flood test and moisture meter, repair the mixer, waste or membrane at fault, then reseal the wet area and run the shower again to prove it holds.
- 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 Eastgardens
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 Eastgardens 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
We repair leaking showers right across Eastgardens and out through neighbouring Hillsdale, Pagewood, Maroubra, Banksmeadow and Daceyville, arriving with the seals, cartridges and waste fittings the local bathrooms tend to need already loaded on the van.

Good questions, straight answers
Shower repair questions from Eastgardens locals
How do you find where a shower is leaking?
We flood-test the recess, run a moisture meter across the wall and check the mixer body under pressure, so the leak is confirmed at its source rather than guessed at from the stain.
Can a leaking shower be fixed without re-tiling the whole bathroom?
Often yes, because many leaks trace to a worn mixer, a failed waste seal or one grout line, and those are put right without the upheaval of stripping the recess back.
How much does a shower repair cost?
The price is fixed in writing and shown to you up front, the call out costs you $0, and nothing extra is ever added to that agreed figure afterwards.
Why does the shower in an older brick flat leak into the unit below?
The 1960s to 80s blocks were waterproofed once with membranes that have since failed, so water crosses the brick wall and shows as a ceiling stain in the unit downstairs.
Do you fix the mould and damage a shower leak leaves behind?
We stop the water at its source and reseal the wet area, then advise on drying out the cavity so the frame and plaster are protected before mould takes a proper hold.
Is the shower repair guaranteed?
Yes, every shower repair is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so any workmanship fault that reappears down the track is set right again at our cost, never yours.
