Client Background
A property investor in Mount Gravatt East contacted Platinum Seal after their tenants reported water leaking through to the laundry below the main bathroom. With the property fully tenanted, the owner needed a fast, non-invasive waterproofing repair that wouldn’t disrupt the tenants’ routine or risk rental downtime.
The Problem
When our technicians attended, the inspection revealed multiple failure points in the shower area:
- Cracked and porous grout allowing water to pass through the joints
- Failing silicone at the base and around the waste
- Moisture trapped behind tiles, detected with a moisture meter
- Mould growth beginning to appear in corners and wall grout
This type of issue is common in older Mount Gravatt East homes and rental properties, where original cement grout deteriorates and loses its waterproofing capacity.
Our Solution
Platinum Seal’s licensed team completed a full epoxy shower re-seal, restoring waterproof protection in just one day without removing any tiles.
Process:
Removal: All cracked grout and peeling silicone were removed from the shower area.
Surface Prep: The area was pressure-cleaned, treated for mould, and dried thoroughly.
Epoxy Grouting: Premium Mapei epoxy grout was applied to all wall and floor joints for a watertight finish.
Silicone Sealing: Fresh, flexible silicone was installed to the corners and edges for a clean, modern appearance.
The leaking shower repair in Mount Gravatt East was completed in a single visit — with the tenants able to use the shower again the next morning.
The Results
✅ Leak fully sealed — no more water reaching the ceiling below
✅ Hygienic, mould-free finish perfect for long-term tenancies
✅ Fast turnaround with no tile removal required
✅ Cost-effective, durable solution for investment properties
