North Suburban Tilers specialise in repairing leaking showers across Victoria, Australia, providing effective solutions to prevent water damage and restore functionality. Leaks in showers can lead to significant issues such as mould growth, structural damage, and increased water bills. Our team is dedicated to addressing these problems by using advanced techniques and materials, making sure your shower is watertight and reliable. Here’s how we tackle leaking showers.
Step 1 - Grout Removal
The first step in repairing a leaking shower is to remove the old, damaged grout. Over time, grout can crack or deteriorate, allowing water to seep behind tiles and cause leaks. Our team uses specialised tools to carefully remove the existing grout without damaging the tiles. This process is crucial to create a clean base for new materials and to stop further water penetration.
Once the grout is removed, we inspect the area for any underlying issues, such as loose tiles or water damage, which might require additional attention. Identifying these problems early allows us to address them effectively, ensuring a thorough and lasting repair. By completely removing compromised grout, we pave the way for a more robust sealing solution that prevents future leaks.
Step 2 - Epoxy Grouting
After the grout removal, we apply high-quality epoxy grout to the shower area. Epoxy grout is an excellent choice for wet areas because it is highly resistant to water, stains, and mildew. Unlike traditional cement-based grout, epoxy grout forms a waterproof barrier that helps prevent leaks and maintains its colour over time.
Our team applies the epoxy grout with precision, making sure it fills all gaps and adheres well to the tiles. This creates a seamless and durable finish that enhances the shower’s appearance and functionality. By using epoxy grout, we provide a long-lasting solution that keeps your shower looking great and performing optimally, even in the dampest conditions.
Step 3 - Caulking
The final step in repairing a leaking shower involves applying fresh caulk around the edges and joints of the shower. Caulking is essential for sealing gaps between tiles, walls, and fixtures to prevent water from escaping. We use high-quality silicone caulk, which is flexible and durable, to form a watertight seal.
Our team applies the caulk neatly and evenly for a complete coverage of all critical areas. Proper caulking not only stops leaks but also improves the overall appearance of your shower by providing a clean, finished look. By addressing both grout and caulk, we deliver a comprehensive repair that protects your shower and prevents future leaks.
