Frequently asked questions about leaking showers
What are the common causes of a leaking shower?
Leaking showers can have various causes, including deteriorated grout or caulk, damaged or improperly installed waterproofing membranes, plumbing issues, or structural damage.
​
We perform a comprehensive assessment to determine the exact cause of the leak and talk through your options.
What are the different methods or solutions available to fix a leaking shower?
Do a search online, and you’ll find a number of national franchise companies recommending some kind of ‘new grout’ solution with a lifetime guarantee.
​
In our opinion, this is a band-aid solution, and the guarantee is meaningless — it’s only a lifetime guarantee on the grout and not your leaking shower. (Ask us to show you a copy of their terms and conditions!)
​
We have a few permanent solutions depending on the specific cause and extent of the leak.
​
All of our permanent solutions are guaranteed for 10 years.
Are there any temporary fixes or DIY remedies for a leaking shower?
While there might be temporary fixes or DIY remedies that can provide temporary relief for a leaking shower, they often fail to address the underlying issue and lead to recurring problems.
​
To ensure a lasting solution and avoid further damage, consult with our professional team.
​
Nearly all of our ‘leaking shower’ customers have tried and failed with a temporary solution or one of the maverick ‘new grout’ companies.
How much does it cost to fix a leaking shower?
The cost of fixing a leaking shower can vary based on factors such as the cause of the leak, the extent of the damage, and the required repairs.
