When it comes to fixing a leaking shower, it’s not just about stopping the drip—it’s about restoring your shower’s integrity, protecting your home from hidden damage, and giving you lasting peace of mind. At Platinum Seal, we’ve refined our process from the very first phone call to the final finishing touches. Our no-tile-removal approach delivers high-quality results, faster and more affordably than traditional methods.
In this post, we’ll walk you through the Platinum Seal process step-by-step—starting with how we handle your initial inquiry and moving on to what happens the day we arrive. You’ll see what makes our method stand out and why we’ve become a trusted name in shower repair.
Step 1: Initial Contact and Quoting
What We Do:
The process begins with a conversation. When you reach out to Platinum Seal, we’ll ask a few questions to understand the nature of your shower issue. We then request that you send us clear photos of the entire shower area and particular areas of concern. These images help us determine the scope of work and accurately provide a quote based on the size and complexity of the job.
Why It Matters:
By assessing your situation upfront, we can give you a fair, transparent quote before scheduling your service. This pre-work ensures a smoother experience once we arrive at your home. If you’re curious about the common issues we spot during this early stage, read our “Top 5 Causes of Leaking Showers and How to Prevent Them.”
Step 2: Booking the Service and Preparing Your Shower
What We Do:
After you accept the quote, we arrange a date for your shower repair. To ensure the best results, we ask that you keep the shower dry on the morning of our visit. This step ensures all surfaces are ready for our advanced epoxy systems and sealants, allowing them to bond effectively.
Why It Matters:
Moisture can interfere with the adhesion of new sealants and grout. Starting with a dry, clean surface helps guarantee a long-lasting repair. For more insight into the importance of proper maintenance and timely fixes, check out “10 Signs Your Shower Needs Immediate Repair.”
Step 3: On-Site Repair—Our Four-Step Method
Once we arrive, we get straight to work following a meticulous approach that sets Platinum Seal apart:
1. Remove Existing Sealants:
We carefully strip away old silicone, grout, and any other compromised materials. This creates a clean slate for our new sealing products and ensures we address the root causes of the leak.
2. Deep Clean:
Our team thoroughly cleans the shower area to remove soap scum, residue, and any traces of mold or mildew. A spotless surface is crucial for the best adhesion and ultimate longevity of the new sealants and epoxy injections.
3. Replace Sealants and Inject Our Advanced Epoxy System:
We apply premium-grade sealants, formulated to withstand constant exposure to water, heat, and cleaning agents. Next, we inject our specialized epoxy system into joints and gaps where water commonly seeps through. This advanced product reinforces the shower’s structure and ensures a watertight finish.
4. Add Finishing Touches:
Finally, we smooth, shape, and finish the sealed areas so that your shower looks as good as new. The result is a fresh, clean, and leak-free surface that blends seamlessly with your existing décor. To understand why focusing on details like grout integrity matters, read “Why Damaged Grout is More Serious Than You Think.”
Step 4: Post-Completion Instructions and Warranty
What We Do:
To allow proper curing and drying of the new sealants, you’ll need to wait a full 24 hours before using your shower. This gives our materials the time they need to bond and set thoroughly.
Why It Matters:
Patience during the curing process ensures the repair’s durability. Once the sealants have hardened, your shower will be ready for use—leak-free and built to last.
