Shower Repairs

Leaking showerheads are repairable with only the slightest interruption to your home. It’s important to act fast, though, as it may seem like only an annoying leak that needs a fresh seal, but the issue can often be more severe than it first appears. Without entire shower repairs Canberra residents can depend on, the problem can escalate and your bathroom will experience ongoing water damage.

As your shower and wider bathroom ages, they will inevitably go through some wear and tear. The following six signs could mean you need a licensed plumber to take a look at your shower:

• Low water pressure
• Dripping shower head
• Discoloured water
• Noisy pipes
• Slow drainage
• Hot water runs out quickly
• Presence of mildew and mould
• High water bill

We are a highly recommended plumbing service that handles all Canberra shower repairs, from leakages to blocked drains. No job is too big or small for our professional, local and reliable team. When you contact us, we will find the right solution for your leakages by using specialist tools and equipment that gets your shower back up and running, so you can enjoy a nice hot shower after a long day at work or with the kids.

Aside from aging, showers leak or become damaged for many reasons, including inadequate waterproofing, cracked pipes or poor tile work. The most common issues we see when needing to fix leaking showers include the following:

1. Worn Parts

As your shower ages, parts start to wear out, compromising your system. The result is that your showerhead, valves and shower hose lose functionality and start leaking. We will replace and update parts so your shower continues to work as intended.

2. Broken Pipes

Whatever your plumbing issue, we aim for smooth water flow. If they’re damaged or installed incorrectly, pressure on the pipes can cause drain pipes to leak. This type of repair needs more than a penetrative sealant and is likely to require replacement because it will affect the main water supply.

3. No Water

For some, shower time is an oasis, so jumping in and realising you have no water is a fairly significant inconvenience. When you’re experiencing this issue in your bathroom, it is likely caused by a damaged valve or sediment accumulation in the pipes, preventing proper water flow.

4. Blocked Drains

If your shower doesn’t receive regular drain cleaning, you’re likely to experience blocked drains that will cause a build-up in your shower and potentially overflow into other areas of your home.
