Make the right choice between a plumber and The Shower Dr

When you have a leaking shower or water issue your first thought might be to call a plumber but are your first instincts always right? Should you be calling a plumber or a doctor? The Shower Dr can help you make the right decision

Sometimes it’s an easy choice and sometimes it’s not. The trick is knowing who does what when it comes to repairing leaking showers, and that’s all in the diagnosis.

As many as 85% of shower leaks are not caused by leaking pipes but by cracked and faulty grout, damaged waterproof membranes and incorrectly constructed showers. You need a The Shower Dr to diagnose the real cause of your shower leak.

When to call a plumber?

• You need a plumber if you know you’ve got a burst or leaking pipe or a faulty tap that needs repairing
• You need a plumber of you have a blocked pipe
• You need a plumber if you need your water pressure adjusted
• You need a plumber if your hot water system isn’t working

When to call a doctor – The Shower Dr?

But what if you’re not really sure what the problem is? When all you know is that you have a leak in your shower or bathroom, you need a doctor to give you a diagnosis.

As a licenced QBCC builder who specialises in wet areas, The Shower Dr understands showers and bathrooms. We don’t just diagnose shower problems and repair them, we build showers and bathrooms from the ground up and we know how a good shower should be constructed, what can go wrong, and what to do about it.

We’ve repaired 1000’s of leaking showers over the years and in the majority of cases either waterproofing issues, poor construction or simply the age of the shower have been the cause of the water leak.  Unfortunately none of these issues can be addressed by most plumbers and they will advise you to call a shower repair specialist, a “doctor” like The Shower Dr.

The reality is, at The Shower DR, we can give you the true cause of the leak, and offer you a repair solution for this, no matter the cause – 100% of the time!
