Client Background
A South Brisbane apartment owner contacted us after noticing dark stains appearing on the ceiling of the unit below. The property was part of a modern high-rise near Grey Street, and the building manager suspected a failed shower seal in one of the bathrooms. The owner needed a fast, non-invasive repair solution that wouldn’t require removing tiles or disrupting tenants.
The Problem
Upon inspection, our team identified multiple issues that allowed water to escape the shower recess:
- Cracked grout lines on the wall and floor junctions
- Peeling silicone in the corners and along the shower screen
- Water penetration behind the tiles, causing moisture damage to the subfloor
- Early signs of mould forming under the silicone
Because this was a tenanted apartment, downtime needed to be minimal — but a proper waterproofing solution was essential to prevent further structural damage.
Our Solution
Platinum Seal’s licensed technicians attended the site the same day to assess and quote the job. The client approved our epoxy shower re-seal system, a proven alternative to costly re-tiling.
Process:
- Preparation: All deteriorated grout and silicone were fully removed.
- Deep Clean: The shower was pressure-washed and sanitised to remove mould and residue.
- Epoxy Application: Premium Mapei epoxy grout was installed across all wall and floor joints for maximum water resistance.
- Perimeter Sealing: A flexible, mould-resistant silicone was colour-matched and applied for a seamless finish.
The full leaking shower repair in South Brisbane was completed within one day — with zero tile removal and minimal disruption to tenants.
The Results
✅ Leak completely sealed, protecting the unit below from further water damage
✅ Fresh, modern finish that restored the shower’s original appearance
✅ Apartment fully operational the next morning — no downtime for tenants
✅ A long-term waterproofing solution backed by Platinum Seal’s workmanship warranty
