Client Background
A family in Indooroopilly reached out after noticing a faint water stain on their downstairs ceiling beneath the master ensuite. The home was a two-storey brick property, and the owners wanted to prevent further structural damage before the ceiling needed repair. With a busy household, they needed a fast, reliable fix that didn’t involve removing tiles or shutting off the bathroom for days.
The Problem
During inspection, our technicians found several key causes of the leak:
Hairline cracks in the floor grout, allowing water to seep through
Failing silicone around the shower screen and waste area
Minor moisture build-up under tiles, detected by meter testing
Early signs of mould forming on the lower wall grout
The waterproofing membrane was still intact, but the surface seals had broken down — a common issue in Indooroopilly’s multi-level family homes.
Our Solution
Platinum Seal carried out a full epoxy shower re-seal, designed to permanently stop leaks without removing tiles or re-grouting with cement products.
Process:
Preparation: Removed all deteriorated grout and silicone across the shower base and corners.
Cleaning: Treated the surface with a commercial mould and residue cleaner.
Epoxy Application: Installed premium Mapei epoxy grout across all joints to create a waterproof barrier.
Re-Sealing: Applied flexible, colour-matched silicone around the perimeter for a seamless finish.
The leaking shower repair in Indooroopilly was completed in one day, and the ceiling below began drying out within a few days.
The Results
✅ Leak fully sealed — no more ceiling stains or water marks
✅ Mould and odour eliminated permanently
✅ Fast, one-day repair with zero tile removal
✅ Long-term protection against future moisture damage
