A real person answers, day or night
A shower that leaks quietly can rot a brick wall for months on end
The tiles look perfectly fine while water sneaks past a tired seal and soaks into the framing behind them. Ring (02) 9072 0502 and we find where it truly escapes, not just where it happens to show.
Why showers fail inside solid double-brick homes
Nearly every house on these streets went up in solid double brick after the 1931 railway subdivision, and that construction changes the way a shower leak behaves.
No cavity to drain
Slow to show, slow to dry
Every part of the shower put right
We repair each element of a failing shower, from the concealed waterproofing to the fitting on the wall, and here is what that work covers across an older brick home on the valley slope:
Recess leak tracing
Leaking recesses are traced to the precise failure point behind the tiles, whether a cracked floor membrane or a parted wall junction, so the water soaking your framing is stopped at its true source rather than sealed over yet again.
Seals and junctions
Perished silicone, failing grout lines and the movement joints around the screen are stripped and rebuilt correctly, restoring the barrier that keeps shower water from creeping past the tiling and into the solid double brick wall sitting just behind it.
Mixer and valves
Dripping shower mixers, seized diverters and worn spindle valves are rebuilt or swapped for quality replacements, ending the steady trickle that wastes treated water and keeps a recess damp enough to quietly feed a slow, hidden leak behind the tiles.
Tiling and floor falls
Ponding shower bases that never fully drain are corrected by relaying the fall toward the waste, because water left standing on an ageing recess floor will eventually work through any small weakness in the old waterproofing given enough patient time.
Second bathrooms and tight ensuites across the hillside streets
Many original bungalows along Crewe Street, Peacock Street and Powys Avenue were built with a single bathroom, so retrofitted ensuites and squeezed-in second showers turn up constantly on these blocks.
Retrofit recesses under pressure
Cold valley mornings
Common shower faults we get called to
The same handful of shower problems come up again and again in the period homes here, and each one has a clear cause worth knowing before it grows.
Water-stained ceiling below
A brown patch creeping across the ceiling beneath a bathroom usually means the recess has been leaking a while, and a proper trace with leak detection pinpoints the fault so only the genuine problem area gets opened up.
Loose or drummy tiles
Tiles that sound hollow underfoot or lift at their corners often signal water already sitting behind them, a clear sign the waterproofing has let go, and catching it now spares you a full recess rebuild down the track.
Musty smell, no puddle
A persistent damp, musty smell with no water visible on the floor points to moisture trapped inside the wall or subfloor, which our tracing gear locates cleanly without anyone tearing tiles off on a hunch.
Why a shower leak is worth fixing early
A shower leak is rarely just a shower problem, because in a solid brick home the water quietly finds the timber, the plaster and the wall cavity, so the cost climbs the longer it runs:
Rot spreads out of sight
Mould follows the moisture
Water bills quietly climb
How it works
The repair, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 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
Traced, then repaired
On site we take moisture readings across the wall and floor to fix the leak's true location, open only what must be opened, rebuild the seal or membrane, then run the shower to confirm the recess is dry.
- 04
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 Bardwell Park
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 Bardwell Park 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.
Where we work
Areas we service
Shower and bathroom plumbing calls take us across Bardwell Valley, Earlwood, Bexley North, Turrella and Bexley, arriving in a stocked van so most leaking recesses are traced and sealed on the one visit.

Good questions, straight answers
Shower repair questions Bardwell Park locals ask
How do you find a shower leak without ripping out all the tiles?
Moisture meters and careful testing pinpoint where the water actually escapes, so we open only the small section at fault rather than stripping a whole recess on guesswork.
Why do showers leak so often in the older brick homes here?
Solid double brick traps the water instead of letting it drain away, so a leak spreads quietly through mortar and framing for months, and interwar waterproofing was never built to last ninety years.
Can you just reseal my shower rather than rebuild it?
If the membrane is sound and only the silicone or grout junctions have failed, a targeted reseal is enough, and we tell you honestly when a fuller repair is the wiser spend.
Do you repair the shower mixer as well as the leak?
Yes, a worn mixer cartridge, a seized diverter or a leaking spindle is rebuilt or replaced during the same visit, since that constant drip keeps the recess wet and feeds a slow leak.
What does a shower repair cost to book?
There is no call out charge, and the job is quoted at one firm price in writing up front, so you see the whole cost before deciding and pay nothing to say no.
How long does a leaking shower repair take?
Many reseals and mixer swaps are done in a single visit from a stocked van, while a recess needing new waterproofing is quoted in writing before the work begins.
