Client Background
A family in Bulimba contacted Platinum Seal after discovering a persistent damp patch outside their main bathroom. The home had recently been renovated, and the owners were frustrated that the new tiles were already showing signs of mould and water damage. With two young children using the bathroom daily, they needed a fast, hygienic and long-lasting repair solution.
The Problem
Our inspection revealed multiple points of water failure within the shower:
- Missing silicone along the internal corners and base joints
- Grout cracks where floor and wall tiles meet
- Water escaping under the shower screen track
- Damp plasterboard and musty odour from moisture build-up
Although the tiles looked new, the installer had used standard cement-based grout instead of a waterproof epoxy system — a common issue in recent Bulimba home renovations.
Our Solution
The Platinum Seal team completed a same-day epoxy shower re-seal, preventing any need for tile removal or re-grouting.
Process:
- Strip Out: All old grout and silicone were carefully removed.
- Surface Prep: The shower was cleaned, sanitised, and dried to ensure full epoxy adhesion.
- Epoxy Re-Seal: Premium Mapei epoxy grout was applied across all wall and floor joints for a completely watertight finish.
- Final Sealing: High-grade mould-resistant silicone was applied to corners, edges, and around the screen base for a flawless result.
The Bulimba leaking shower repair was finished in under one day, allowing the family to resume use the next morning.
The Results
✅ Leak fully sealed — no more damp patches outside the bathroom
✅ Safe and hygienic finish ideal for family use
✅ Fresh, modern look restored to the newly tiled bathroom
✅ Long-term waterproofing protection using professional-grade epoxy materials
