Client Background
A Greenslopes homeowner contacted Platinum Seal after noticing bubbling paint and a musty smell coming from the hallway wall behind their ensuite. The bathroom looked in good condition, but water had clearly been escaping for months. With property values climbing in the area, the owner wanted the issue resolved properly — without needing to tear up tiles or carry out a full renovation.
The Problem
Our inspection uncovered several key waterproofing failures common in older Greenslopes homes:
- Cracked and porous grout throughout the shower walls
- Missing silicone at floor junctions and wall corners
- Moisture trapped beneath tiles, damaging plasterboard behind the wall
- Visible mould returning even after repeated cleaning
Water had been seeping out of the shower base each time it was used, gradually spreading beneath the wall paint and creating long-term structural risk.
Our Solution
Platinum Seal’s technicians carried out a full epoxy shower re-seal — a non-invasive system designed to stop leaks permanently without tile removal.
Process:
- Preparation: All loose grout and old silicone were carefully removed from every joint.
- Cleaning: The shower area was sanitised with professional-grade mould treatment.
- Epoxy Installation: We applied high-performance Mapei epoxy grout across all wall and floor joints, creating a fully waterproof seal.
- Re-Sealing: New flexible, colour-matched silicone was installed to all corners, edges, and around the drain.
The Greenslopes leaking shower repair was completed within a single day, leaving the shower looking new again and ready to use the next morning.
The Results
✅ Leak fully sealed — no more dampness or wall damage
✅ Mould permanently removed with anti-fungal epoxy system
✅ Bathroom restored with a clean, polished finish
✅ Fast turnaround — no tiles removed or renovation required
