Bathroom Repairs

Brisbane & Sunshine Coast

Often by the time a bathroom or shower develops problems such as water leaks or cracked or loose tiles its actually had a surprising amount of wear and tear. Most showers are used twice a day, or more than 700 times a year. If we allow 10 minutes per shower, the average shower is in use and wet for more than 116 hours a year, twice that in a home of 4 people.

This means that most showers, over a 10 year period a shower recess gets 2300 hours or more than 3 months of continuous use. So it’s little wonder that over time a little bit of love and basic repairs or maintenance are needed.

Bathroom Repairs – the Minimum to Keep Your Shower in Safe Working Order

A lot of factors contribute to leaking showers but he most common cause of leaks is a failure of the waterproof membrane under the tiles. This membrane is the line of protection that keeps water from damaging the structure of your home. A failure in this waterproofing can occur for a number of reasons including; poor application, building movement or poorly constructed wet areas. Whatever the cause, the minimum bathroom repairs that needs to be undertaken to a leaking shower is to renew the waterproof seal.

Traditionally this has been done by removing the tiles, making any necessary repairs and re-waterproofing the wet area before retiling. It goes without saying that this can be an expensive exercise. Thankfully at The Shower Dr we can remove the existing grout from your shower and reseal it with waterproof Mapei Kerapoxy grout leaving the existing tiles intact. This repair is the minimum guaranteed repair which will prolong the life of your shower and bathroom.

Bathroom Restoration – Restoring an Older Shower

Many of our clients take the opportunity to take their shower service a little further and choose a bathroom restoration. This Shower Dr service rejuvenates, restores or is a makeover of their old bathroom. This gives an older bathroom a fresh new look without going to the expense of a full bathroom renovation which can run unto many thousands of dollars. If you decide your bathroom repairs should involve restoring the existing bathroom rather than renovating, the work is usually completed in a day or two.

A shower or bathroom restoration can include

A full Shower Dr Service where all of the existing grout is removed and replaced with Mapei waterproof grouts sealing any leaks.
Cracked or damaged tiles can be replaced at the same time.
New taps and a water saving shower rose can also be fitted.
A new modern shower screen can be installed giving the whole shower recess a fresh new look.
If necessary the whole bathroom can be spruced up and refreshed with fresh silicones and sealants.
Finally the bathroom is chemically cleaned to remove all traces of mould and your restored bathroom is ready for use.

When restoring an old bathroom to its former glory we can do as much or as little work as you’d like, all within a fixed budget and with the minimum of inconvenience.

  We hate renovating, let’s be clear, so when we discovered leaks in the shower, we were not excited. With my husband at work during the day, I cringed at managing the day-to-day decision-making. We are so glad we chose The Shower Dr for our bathroom rebuild. From the moment I called, we knew we were in good hands. Jemima outlined the process very clearly and arranged for Nick to view the job and quote. Nick patiently and simply explained what needed to be done (and understood we had a budget). Sophie, the superstar project manager who put up with all my questions and made it all happen. Special shout outs to Alex, Brodie, Luke and Jacob – thank you. Each of you had a different job to do, but all of you were friendly and respectful of me and our home, including our security measures. You were all so helpful in problem-solving on the spot when needed and had a real "think outside the square" attitude. Best decision ever. Highly recommend The Shower Dr.

  I needed a shower rebuilt but I'm not handy so I needed someone to take care of all the details and that's what the Shower Dr. did. All the tradies were friendly and professional. The site was kept very tidy at all times. The end result is great.

  A big thank you to the shower doctor, so professional, had a cheaper quote, but after reading the small print decided to go with the Shower Doctor. Paul was amazing, worked around my schedule, the finished product was outstanding. Highly recommended.

  Shi was highly professional, prompt and neat. He did a fantastic job regrouting our shower and replacing the silicone around our bath. He left both areas spotless and even went out of his way to install a new shower head that we had purchased separately. Mitch was also great during the initial quotation process; gave honest advice which we appreciated. Would highly recommend!

  Marion did an awesome job with re-grouting our shower. Now, the shower looks as good as new! He was very thorough and made sure everything was right. I’m very happy that we decided going with ShowerDr instead of a full renovation.
Thanks so much for your hard and great work Marion!!
