Client Background
A family in Bardon reached out after spotting damp patches forming along the base of their bathroom wall and adjacent hallway skirting. The property was a classic post-war Queenslander with recently updated bathrooms, and the owners wanted a fast, reliable fix before moisture caused long-term structural damage to their timber framing.
The Problem
Our inspection revealed multiple failure points allowing water to escape from the shower area:
Cracked and deteriorating grout along the shower base
Peeling silicone around the edges and shower screen track
Early mould growth visible along grout joints
Moisture readings showing water penetration into the wall cavity
The leak had likely been active for several months, slowly affecting the wall behind the shower and the timber flooring beyond.
Our Solution
Platinum Seal carried out a complete epoxy shower re-seal, restoring the shower’s waterproofing without removing tiles.
Process:
Removal: Stripped all old grout and silicone from wall and floor joints.
Cleaning: Applied industrial-grade mould treatment and dried the area completely.
Epoxy Grouting: Installed Mapei high-performance epoxy grout across all joints for a watertight barrier.
Final Sealing: Reapplied premium, colour-matched silicone to corners, edges, and around fixtures.
The leaking shower repair in Bardon was completed within a single day, preventing further moisture damage and protecting the home’s structure.
The Results
✅ Leak permanently sealed — no more damp walls or skirting damage
✅ Safe, hygienic, mould-free bathroom environment
✅ Timber structure preserved with zero demolition
✅ Long-lasting waterproofing using professional epoxy system
