A real person answers, day or night
A leaking shower rarely stays contained
Once water gets past a shower's seal or waterproofing it rarely stays put, it spreads. Call (02) 9072 0513 and this crew will trace exactly where it's actually getting through.
Showers added where the plumbing wasn't ready for them
Two situations account for a large share of the shower faults this crew repairs locally.
- Ensuites squeezed into converted flats often have tight waste runs Where a Federation home or bungalow was split into separate dwellings, an added shower sometimes had to make do with less fall on its waste line than a purpose-built one would have, leaving drainage more marginal than it should be.
- Stacked units mean one leak can affect two households In a building with a flat sitting above another, water tracking through the floor from a leaking shower often becomes visible to the neighbour underneath first, long before whoever's actually showering notices a thing.
Shower repair services we provide
Every leak gets traced to its real source before any repair work starts:
Leak tracing and diagnosis
Water testing and careful inspection narrow down whether a leak is coming from the waste, the wall junction or a failed membrane, avoiding a repair aimed at the wrong spot entirely.
Reseal and waterproofing repair
Failed silicone or a compromised waterproofing membrane at a wall or floor junction gets properly resealed or repaired, addressing the actual failure point rather than papering over the visible symptom.
Shower waste and drainage repair
A poorly graded or blocked shower waste gets corrected or cleared so water drains properly again, fixing the underlying cause of a slow or pooling shower rather than just clearing today's blockage.
Shower base and hob repair
A cracked shower base or a failing hob gets repaired or replaced as needed, restoring a watertight seal at the point where most leaks in an older bathroom actually originate.
Where shower faults concentrate

Stacked units on multi-storey blocks
Common shower problems we fix
Slow shower drainage
A shower draining slowly is usually hair and soap residue built up in the trap, though if clearing that makes no difference, an insufficiently graded waste is the next thing this crew rules in or out.
Leaking shower screen or door
Water escaping around a shower screen or door seal is a common, often overlooked leak source, and correcting the seal or how the screen's fitted keeps water off timber and plasterboard that was never built to handle it.
Why a leaking shower is worth fixing promptly
Putting off a shower leak generally makes the eventual bill bigger, not smaller:
- The wet patch you can see rarely marks the full extent A leak starting at the shower base can track well past the visible damp spot, reaching framing and flooring that still look completely dry from above.
- Mould finds exactly the conditions it needs here A shower quietly leaking for months builds the damp, dark conditions mould thrives in behind tiles, a genuine health issue on top of the structural one.
- Catching it early avoids a full retile Addressing a leak while it's confined to the waste or a single seal is a far smaller undertaking than one that's already spread far enough to need tiles pulled up.
How it works
Fixing a shower leak, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0513 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, then repair
The leak's actual source is confirmed first, whether that's the waste, a seal or the waterproofing membrane, and the repair addresses that specific point rather than the whole bathroom.
- 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 Kensington
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 Kensington 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.
If a neighbour below has mentioned a ceiling stain, mention that when you call, since it often confirms roughly where a leak's actually escaping from.
Where we work
Areas we service
Shower repairs extend to Kingsford, Randwick, Eastlakes, Daceyville and Centennial Park as well, traced and fixed with the same care no matter whose bathroom it's in.
Good questions, straight answers
Shower repair questions from Kensington locals
How can I tell if my shower is actually leaking versus just condensation?
Condensation dries within a couple of hours and stays near the shower itself, while a genuine leak leaves damp patches that persist or spread further, sometimes into an adjoining room.
Does a leaking shower always mean the whole bathroom needs retiling?
Not necessarily, plenty of leaks are fixed by resealing or repairing the waste without touching the tiles at all, and this crew always tries the least invasive fix first.
Why do ensuites added during a flat conversion leak more often?
Because the waste run for an added ensuite sometimes has less fall than a shower built in from the start, so drainage can be marginal even when everything's installed correctly.
Is a slow-draining shower actually a plumbing fault or just hair buildup?
Often it's simply hair and soap residue in the trap, though a shower staying sluggish after that's cleared out usually points to a fall or blockage issue further down the waste.
Can a shower leak really damage the flat below mine?
Yes, in a building with stacked units water from a leaking shower can travel through the floor and show up as damage in the flat underneath well before it's obvious to whoever's upstairs.
Is a shower repair covered by warranty afterwards?
Every repair carries our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if the same problem shows up again through our own doing, this crew returns and sorts it properly without another bill.
