Client Background
A Paddington homeowner reached out after noticing water stains forming on the ceiling below their main bathroom. The property was a classic Queenslander-style home with high ceilings and timber floors — so a fast, non-destructive solution was essential to prevent moisture spreading into the lower level.
The Problem
Our inspection revealed several problem areas contributing to the leak:
Cracked and porous grout along floor tiles
Missing silicone around the wall corners and shower screen track
Water penetration behind tiles, dampening the ceiling cavity below
Mould beginning to form around the lower wall joints
This type of damage is common in Paddington homes where humidity and movement in timber floors cause grout and silicone to fail prematurely.
Our Solution
The Platinum Seal team carried out a full epoxy shower re-seal, restoring waterproof protection without any tile removal.
Process:
Removal: All failing grout and silicone were stripped out from walls and floor joints.
Cleaning: The shower was deep-cleaned and treated with an anti-mould disinfectant.
Epoxy Application: Mapei epoxy grout was applied throughout to create a watertight seal.
Re-Sealing: Fresh, flexible silicone was colour-matched and applied for a smooth, long-lasting finish.
The leaking shower repair in Paddington was completed within a single day, with zero impact on the home’s timber floors or ceiling.
The Results
✅ Leak permanently sealed — protecting the ceiling and structure below
✅ Mould and odour completely removed
✅ Original bathroom design fully preserved
✅ Durable waterproof finish designed for Queenslander-style homes
