A real person answers, day or night
A shower leak rarely stays where you first notice it
By the time water's visible on the floor or a ceiling below, it's usually been finding its way somewhere for a while. Ring (02) 9072 0511 and describe what you're seeing.
Original tiled showers versus what a modern bathroom expects
- Bathrooms built during the suburb's main 1960s-80s wave often predate the waterproof membrane standards used today A tiled recess along Currie Road or Frenchs Forest Road West that's never had a leak visible on the surface can still be letting moisture into the wall cavity behind it.
- Hot water systems from the same era weren't built for the mixer technology now fitted to most showers An ageing unit struggling to hold steady temperature or pressure often gets blamed on the shower itself when the real fault sits upstream.
Shower repair services we provide
Every fault behind a leaking or misbehaving shower, fixed properly rather than patched over, a slice of the wider plumbing service:
Shower leak diagnosis and repair
Water escaping at the base, the hob or the wall gets traced back to its actual source, whether that's a failed waste seal, cracked grout or a genuine membrane fault, and fixed at the cause rather than just wherever it's showing.
Mixer and diverter valve repair
Worn cartridges, failing diverters and mixer valves that stick, drip or swing temperature unpredictably get replaced properly, restoring smooth, consistent control without needing to touch the surrounding tilework.
Shower base and waste repair
A cracked base, a slow-draining waste or a shower floor that's started pooling gets repaired or replaced, checking the fall toward the drain is actually correct rather than assuming the original installation got it right.
Screen and enclosure reseal
Failed silicone seals around a screen or enclosure let water escape onto the floor outside, and resealing it properly stops that leak without needing to disturb anything structural behind it.
Ensuites, family bathrooms and what wears differently
- A busy family bathroom serving several people daily wears its shower hardware faster than a rarely used ensuite Mixer cartridges and diverters in daily use across a larger household need attention sooner than the manufacturer's average lifespan suggests.
- An ensuite added onto an original house sometimes shares old supply lines with the rest of the property A pressure or temperature issue there can actually be a whole-house fault showing up first at the newest fixture.
Common shower problems we fix
Water pooling instead of draining away properly
A shower floor that holds water rather than clearing it usually means the waste has partially blocked or the base has lost its correct fall over time, and clearing or correcting it properly stops standing water becoming a slip hazard.
A mixer that won't hold a steady temperature
A mixer swinging unpredictably between hot and cold is usually down to internal wear rather than the tapware failing outright, and fitting a new cartridge brings back smooth, predictable control in one visit.
Why a shower fault left alone tends to get worse, not better
Water finding its way past a failed seal or membrane rarely stays contained:
- A hidden leak works on the structure long before it's visible Timber framing and plasterboard behind a shower wall can be compromised well before any bulge, stain or smell gives it away.
- A slip hazard from pooling water is a safety issue, not just an inconvenience Standing water on a shower floor increases the risk of a fall every single time it's used.
- A small mixer fault often becomes a bigger one under continued use A cartridge that's already worn deteriorates faster once it starts leaking internally, turning a simple part swap into a full valve replacement.

Why choose Your Plumber Frenchs Forest
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 Frenchs Forest 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 a membrane's genuinely failed rather than just a fitting, we'll say so plainly and bring a tiler in alongside us rather than attempting a fix that won't hold.

Good questions, straight answers
Shower repair questions Frenchs Forest locals ask
Water is pooling on the bathroom floor just outside the enclosure. Is that actually a plumbing fault?
Sometimes, a failed hob seal or grout is often the cause and can be a plumbing or tiling fix depending on what's found, so we check properly before saying which side of the job it sits on.
Shower temperature swings hot and cold with no warning. What usually causes that?
Often an ageing hot water system struggling to keep up, sometimes a worn mixer valve inside the wall, and testing both properly is how we work out which one's actually responsible.
Original tiled shower recess from a 1970s bathroom, no visible leak yet. Worth checking anyway?
Genuinely worth it, older tiled showers built before modern waterproof membranes became standard can leak into the wall cavity for a long time before any sign shows on the surface.
Can a shower leak actually be fixed without retiling the whole thing?
Often yes, if the fault sits at the waste, the mixer or the hob seal rather than in the membrane itself, though a genuine membrane failure usually does mean retiling that section.
The room underneath the bathroom has a damp ceiling patch. How seriously should that be treated?
Reasonably urgent, water reaching a ceiling or floor below means real damage is already happening, so it's worth having looked at before that spreads any further.
Is shower repair work covered under warranty afterwards?
Yes, permanently, so a defect that's genuinely down to our own workmanship gets corrected again free of charge no matter how long after the original repair it shows up.
