Client Background
A homeowner in Holland Park contacted Platinum Seal after noticing their ensuite shower leaking into the adjoining wardrobe. The water had started to swell the skirting boards and discolour the carpet, creating concern about long-term water damage. The owner wanted a lasting waterproofing fix that didn’t involve costly demolition or tiling.
The Problem
Our inspection revealed typical waterproofing breakdowns found in many older Holland Park homes:
- Cracked and discoloured grout lines throughout the shower
- Failing silicone around the corners and base junctions
- Moisture escaping through wall joints and tracking behind tiles
- Early signs of mould growth in the lower corners
Despite appearing minor, these issues had allowed moisture to penetrate the surrounding plasterboard, risking structural damage and mould contamination.
Our Solution
Platinum Seal recommended a complete epoxy shower re-seal, offering a watertight, tile-free solution.
Process:
- Removal: All loose and deteriorated grout and silicone were removed from walls and floor joints.
- Treatment: The shower was deep-cleaned and treated with a mould-killing sanitiser.
- Epoxy Application: Mapei high-performance epoxy grout was applied throughout to form a seamless waterproof barrier.
- Finishing Touches: Colour-matched, flexible silicone was reapplied to all perimeters and fittings for a perfect finish.
The leaking shower repair in Holland Park was completed the same day, allowing the client to resume use the following morning.
The Results
✅ Leak permanently sealed with long-term epoxy waterproofing
✅ Skirting board moisture damage stopped immediately
✅ Modern, refreshed shower appearance
✅ Zero tile removal — saving time and cost
