Client Background
A property manager in Red Hill contacted Platinum Seal after tenants reported water leaking through the ensuite and staining the downstairs ceiling. The townhouse was built in the early 2000s and had original waterproofing that was beginning to fail. The owner wanted a long-term fix that wouldn’t require a bathroom renovation or loss of rental income.
The Problem
During inspection, our team identified several waterproofing and maintenance issues:
- Cracked grout lines on the shower floor and wall joints
- Peeling silicone along the screen edges and corners
- Water penetration behind tiles detected with a moisture meter
- Early signs of mould under the existing sealant
Over time, the shower’s cement grout had lost its waterproof integrity — a common cause of leaks in older Red Hill townhouses.
Our Solution
We carried out a full epoxy shower re-seal, designed to restore waterproofing performance without removing tiles.
Process:
- Removal: Stripped out all old grout and silicone.
- Treatment: Deep-cleaned the shower and applied anti-mould solution.
- Epoxy Application: Installed Mapei high-performance epoxy grout for a watertight, durable finish.
- Final Seal: Reapplied premium, colour-matched silicone around perimeters and fixtures.
The leaking shower repair in Red Hill was completed within one day, with the property ready for immediate tenant use.
The Results
✅ Leak fully sealed — no more water tracking into the ceiling below
✅ Clean, refreshed shower with mould-resistant finish
✅ Long-term waterproofing protection for investment property
✅ No re-tiling, demolition, or downtime required
