A leaking shower is not a problem that fixes itself. The longer it is left the more water works its way through failed grout or a compromised membrane and into the substrate, the wall framing or the ceiling below. GIB Tiling has been repairing leaking showers across Perth since 2005. Most jobs do not need a full retile — what they need is an honest assessment of where the water is actually going and a proper repair done with the right products.
A wet patch or stain on the ceiling below a bathroom is one of the most common signs of a leaking shower. By the time it is visible the water has usually been sitting in the structure for longer than most homeowners realise.
If the floor feels soft or spongy just outside the shower screen or door, water is getting through the shower floor and into the subfloor below. This needs to be assessed and repaired promptly.
Cracked, missing or heavily discoloured grout joints in a shower are a water ingress risk. Grout breaks down over time in wet areas and once it fails water finds its way through to the substrate underneath.
Assessment and Diagnosis
Every leaking shower repair starts with a proper assessment. GIB Tiling identifies where the water is getting through before any repair work begins. The cause of the leak determines the right repair approach from regrouting and resealing, partial retile or full retile.
Grout Removal and Regrouting
Where failed grout is the cause, old grout is raked out completely, not painted over or patched. Fresh waterproof grout rated for wet areas is packed into clean joints throughout. This is the most common repair GIB Tiling carries out across Perth showers.
Silicone Replacement
The silicone at internal shower corners and the perimeter where tiles meet the screen or the shower base is replaced completely. Old silicone that has shrunk, cracked or developed mould cannot be resealed over, it has to come out and be replaced cleanly.
Waterproofing Assessment
Where the waterproofing membrane has failed, GIB Tiling assesses the extent of the damage and advises on whether a partial or full retile is required to properly solve the problem.
Partial or Full Retile
Where regrouting and resealing is not sufficient, GIB Tiling carries out partial shower retiles or full bathroom retiles across Perth. All wet area retiling includes new waterproofing by certified waterproofers in compliance with the National Construction Code.
Transparent Pricing
GIB Tiling provides written quotes before any work begins. The price quoted is the price charged. No hidden extras and no surprises at the end of the job.

This is one of the most common questions GIB Tiling gets asked. The honest answer is that most leaking showers in Perth can be repaired without pulling up all the tiles. Failed grout and deteriorated silicone account for the majority of shower leaks and both can be properly fixed through professional regrouting and resealing.
Where the waterproofing membrane has failed the situation is more involved. Our team will give you an honest assessment of what is actually needed rather than recommending a full retile when a repair will do the job.
Regrouting is the most common leaking shower repair GIB Tiling carries out across Perth. Old grout is raked out completely using the correct tools, not ground back or painted over.
Fresh waterproof grout rated specifically for wet areas is packed into clean joints and finished properly throughout. The silicone at all internal corners and perimeter junctions is replaced at the same time. Done correctly the repaired shower performs like new and the repair is invisible.

M KnausenbergerThe most common causes are failed grout joints, deteriorated silicone at internal corners and perimeter junctions and compromised waterproofing membranes. In older Perth homes cracked tiles from substrate movement are also a contributing factor.
In many cases no. Most Perth shower leaks can be repaired through professional regrouting and silicone replacement. GIB Tiling will assess the shower and give you an honest recommendation on whether a repair or retile is the right approach.
Common signs include damp patches or staining on the ceiling below the bathroom, soft or spongy flooring just outside the shower, cracked or missing grout lines in the shower and visible mould at internal shower corners.
It is not recommended. Water getting through a leaking shower causes damage to the substrate, wall framing and subfloor that compounds over time. The longer a leak is left the more extensive and costly the repair becomes.
A standard regrouting and resealing repair is typically completed within one to two days. More complex repairs involving a partial or full retile will take longer. The GIB Tiling team will provide a realistic timeframe as part of the free quote.
Leaking shower repairs start from $250. The final cost depends on the extent of the damage and the repair required. GIB Tiling provides written quotes before any work begins and the price quoted is the price charged.
Yes. GIB Tiling works with landlords, property managers and commercial building operators across Perth to repair leaking showers with minimal disruption to tenants and guests.
