A real person answers, day or night
The leaking shower you can often smell long before you can see it
By the time a wall turns spongy or a cornice below browns, water has been tracking through the framing for months, so the sooner a shower leak is traced, the smaller the repair stays.
Older bathrooms hide their leaks behind solid brick
Bathrooms in the older brick cottages here were tiled straight onto solid brick, so a leak has nowhere to go but into the wall.
Soldier-era cottages
Tiled onto brick
Streets like Stanley Street
Shower repairs we handle every week
A leaking shower is rarely one fault, so we work through the waste, the seal, the tiling and the mixer in turn and fix whichever one is letting the water through:
Waste and drain seal
Where the shower waste meets the floor is the most common leak point in these old bathrooms, so we lift and reseal the outlet, renew a perished puddle flange, and stop water escaping under the tiles into the wall cavity.
Grout and waterproofing
Cracked grout and a failed membrane let water wick into the brickwork behind the tiles, so we rake out and repoint the joints, reseal the junctions, and where the waterproofing has gone, rebuild it properly from the original substrate.
Mixer and taps
Worn cartridges and perished tap seals drip long after the water is off, wasting litres and marking the base, so we service or replace the shower mixer and set the temperature and flow back to how they should run again.
Pressure and pipework
Weak, fluctuating shower pressure in one of these ageing homes usually traces to galvanised supply that has corroded inside, so we test the flow, isolate the restricted run, and renew it in new pipe to bring the pressure back up.
New shower fittings, old supply lines behind them
A lot of these bathrooms have been half-updated over the years, and that mix of new and old is where fresh leaks start.
New head, old riser
Mixed metals, quiet corrosion
One reason to plan ahead
Common shower faults we get called to
Water staining the ceiling
A brown bloom spreading across the ceiling under an upstairs shower means water is escaping the wet area and pooling on the plaster below, and tracing it to the waste or the membrane early keeps the repair to one room.
Mould that keeps returning
Black mould that comes straight back after every clean is usually a sign the wall behind the tiles never fully dries because water is getting in, so treating the leak at its true source solves the recurring mould for good.
Why a shower leak is worth fixing now
A shower leak never stays still, so acting early keeps the repair small before the water spreads through timber, plaster and brick:
- Structural rot sets in Constant damp behind the wall softens the timber framing and sole plate, so a simple reseal grows into carpentry once the damage reaches the surface.
- Your water bill climbs A leak on a pressurised line runs day and night whether the shower is used or not, quietly adding litres to every bill until it is sealed.
- Mould keeps returning Water trapped in the cavity feeds mould that no surface clean will beat, and only clearing the damp at source makes the room healthy again.
How it works
How a shower repair job runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 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
On the day
Once you have approved the quote, we open only the small area the trace points to, replace the failed seal, grout, membrane or length of pipe, then flood-test the shower and watch it drain clean before anything is closed up.

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 Mortdale
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 Mortdale 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.
Tracing a leak properly rather than patching over it is the care every plumbing job here is built around.
Where we work
Suburbs we cover beyond the home streets
The same shower and supply work reaches Penshurst, Oatley, Hurstville, Peakhurst and Allawah, where the housing runs to the same era of brick and tile, so the leaks we trace and the repairs we make read much the same.
Good questions, straight answers
Shower repair questions Mortdale locals ask
Can you fix a leaking shower without removing all the tiles?
In most cases yes, because tracing the leak to the waste, the grout or the mixer lets us open just the section at fault rather than stripping the whole wall of tiles.
Why do older brick homes here get shower pressure problems?
Pressure fades when the original galvanised supply feeding the bathroom corrodes and narrows inside, a common story in the solid brick cottages of the soldier-settlement era near Stanley Street and the station.
How long does a shower repair take?
Most reseal, regrout or mixer jobs are done in a single visit, while a full waterproofing rebuild or a length of new supply pipe can run a little longer depending on drying time.
What does it cost to have a shower leak looked at?
The call out is $0, so a licensed plumber can inspect the shower, trace the leak and put a fixed written price in front of you before you decide anything at all.
Is a leaking shower covered by your warranty?
Yes, every shower repair we complete is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if a seal or joint we fixed lets go, we return and set it right again at no charge.
Do you repair showers in units as well as older cottages?
Yes, whether it is a tiled recess in a pre-war brick cottage or a screened shower in a newer unit near the station, we trace and repair the leak the same careful way.
