Leaks from Showers and Baths
First Signs of a Leaking shower
- Your downstairs ceiling gets a brown stain.
- Wood or plasterboard around shower or bath starts to stain or hole forms.
- Water is dripping onto the kitchen floor
- The wood in the hallway is starting to rise
Why is the shower leaking? The shower tray has no obvious holes, the shower door is working, the shower tiles are solid. Possibly the reason the shower is leaking is not so obvious. There could be hidden problems. Water follows gravity and the law of the easiest path. The shower could be leaking because of the waste pipe, a small crack in the tray, a crack in the silicon. All these causes are difficult to detect. One thing for sure no matter how the shower is leaking it is causing damage.
Where’s the bath or shower leak coming from?
The most popular causes of the shower and bath leaks are as follows
- Crack or hole or missing tile grout
- Missing, cracked or broken silicon seal between the tray and the tile
- Cracked tile
- Faulty shower door
- Seals around the shower door
- Crack or hole in the shower or bath tray
- Loose or broken outflow pipe underneath the tray or bath.
- Leak in the hot or cold water supply.
- The overflow pipe not connected
What happens if you leave it?
- Wall behind tiles gets weak – tiles start falling off.
- The ceiling downstairs gets a large hole or collapses
- The floor need to be taken
- Walls need to be retiled or plastered or painted.

Clean Bath and Shower Tiles and Grout
We will clean the grout between bath / shower tiles and the bath / shower tiles. The bath / shower tiles may be black, yellow, brown now but we can make them white, cream, ivory or whatever color they were. We clean the shower / bath tiles and grout with chemicals, then scrape away the old tile grout, and refill with new tile grout. We polish all the tiles and grout and that’s it – restored to New.
We use high quality grout, fine and smooth giving the perfect finish, extremely water resistant, repels dirt, high protection against the forming of mould fungus.
We can clean down the shower door and the shower door clean and clear.

Bath and Shower Resealing
Bath ResealingWhether to cure a leak or just because the current sealant has become mouldy and unsightly, renewing the silicone sealant around a bath or shower screen provides a simple solution to freshen up your bathroom. For a fixed price we will neatly and effectively renew the silicone sealant around your bath. Our fixed price service includes a tube of quality white or clear silicon. Text to 0877656063 to Book | |
Silicon Seals & Plastic Seals…Replace Bath / Shower Silicon Seals We will remove the old silicon seals between the bath / shower and the tiles. Over time this gets black and moldy, worn and cant stick to the tiles and the bath / shower tray as strong as the silicon seal used to be. When a seal breaks, its no longer water tight. Water will drip through the bath /shower seal and drip out of the bath / shower onto the bathroom floor. If the silicon seal is not replaced , then the leak can continue onto the ceiling downstairs. Shower Bath Door Seals We will replace the plastic seal at the bottom of the shower door or the bath panel. With constant movement over time, the seal rubbing against the shower tray or bath causes the plastic to break. Once its broken the bath seal is no longer keeping water in the bath. Water can escape through the gap between the door and the bath tray. Once water escapes from the bath then it can do anywhere causing damage until the leak is fixed Reseal Shower or Bath

Grout and ReGrout
Over time grout and with constant use grout can get loose and come out. The primary purpose of grout is to seal the gap between tiles, tp form a waterproof layer preventing water getting between the tiles
Secondly Grout effects how the bathroom looks. Grout with use and time becomes discoloured and gives off a worn tired look.
To help solve these problems we offer a tile regrouting service.

The Support Frame under a Bath
A bath is supported by metal feet legs with rubber feet, and normally by a wooden frame. The wooden frame consists of horizontal and veritcal lengths of wood. This supports and keeps the bath stable when we stand it. Stable is essential because a moving bath breaks the silicon seals, and moves the tiles, breaking the grout and loosing the adhesive holding the tiles. Before we know it we have a mess, a moving bath, broken seals, loose tiles, wet plasterboard, bath leaking downstairs…..the list goes on. The wood frame if exposed to water will become rotten. Rotten wood wont have the strength to hold up the bath. So when it gets rotten lets replace it and it stops all the other problems happening.
