Client Background
A couple in Norman Park contacted Platinum Seal after noticing bubbling paint and damp skirting boards in their master bedroom. The ensuite shower was the suspected cause. Having recently repainted the area, they wanted the leak resolved quickly, without damaging the tiles or walls.
The Problem
Our inspection confirmed multiple waterproofing failures within the shower recess:
- Cracked and missing grout at the wall-floor junctions
- Peeling silicone in corners and along the shower screen track
- Trapped moisture under tiles detected by moisture testing
- Early mould growth and discolouration in grout lines
Left untreated, this would have continued damaging surrounding plaster and paintwork — a common issue in Norman Park homes with ageing grout and silicone.
Our Solution
Platinum Seal performed a complete epoxy shower re-seal, providing a long-term, watertight finish without removing any tiles.
Process:
- Preparation: Removed all deteriorated grout and silicone from joints and corners.
- Cleaning: Treated the entire area with anti-mould solution and dried thoroughly.
- Epoxy Application: Applied high-performance Mapei epoxy grout to all joints for a waterproof seal.
- Finishing: Installed premium flexible silicone in matching colour for a seamless appearance.
The leaking shower repair in Norman Park was finished in a single day, allowing the couple to use their bathroom again the next morning.
The Results
✅ Leak completely sealed — no further moisture in walls or flooring
✅ Fresh, clean appearance matching the existing tiles
✅ One-day turnaround — no re-tiling or renovation needed
✅ Long-term waterproofing protection backed by warranty
