Expert Leak Detection to Protect Your Home

A leaking shower can cause serious water damage, leading to mold growth, structural issues, and costly repairs. If you notice water pooling outside your shower, damp walls, peeling paint, or musty smells, it’s important to act quickly before the damage worsens.

We specialise in non-invasive shower leak detection, using dye tests, pressure tests, and spray tests to pinpoint leaks without damaging your tiles or walls. Once we identify the problem, our expert plumbers can professionally repair the leak, ensuring long-term waterproofing and protection for your home.

Signs of a Shower Leak

✔ Water pooling outside the shower – Especially near the base or along grout lines.
✔ Damp, swollen, or peeling paint on walls near the shower.
✔ Mould or mildew growth due to excess moisture.
✔ Musty odours from hidden water buildup.
✔ Loose or cracked tiles in the shower area.
✔ Water stains on ceilings or walls below the bathroom.

If you notice any of these signs, early detection and repair can prevent costly damage.

Non-Invasive Shower Leak Detection Methods

We use advanced, non-invasive techniques to locate leaks accurately without unnecessary damage to your bathroom.

1️⃣ Dye Testing

✔ We add a special coloured dye to water and run it through your shower drain, waste trap, or grout lines.
✔ If the dye seeps through cracks or grout, it confirms a leak.
✔ No drilling or cutting required, making this a quick and effective first step.

2️⃣ Pressure Testing

✔ We test the shower pipes and fittings for pressure loss, which indicates a hidden pipe leak.
✔ If pressure drops, we know there's a leak behind tiles, in walls, or under floors.
✔ Helps differentiate between plumbing leaks and waterproofing failures.

3️⃣ Spray Testing

✔ We simulate real shower conditions by spraying water at different angles.
✔ Helps detect leaks from grout cracks, faulty silicone seals, or waterproofing failures.
✔ Ideal for confirming if shower walls, screens, or tile joints are leaking.

 FAQs

  • Common signs of a leaking shower include:
    ✔ Water pooling outside the shower (especially near grout lines or door seals).
    ✔ Damp, swollen, or peeling paint on nearby walls.
    ✔ Mould or mildew growth due to excess moisture.
    ✔ Musty odours coming from walls, floors, or drains.
    ✔ Loose or cracked tiles in the shower area.
    ✔ Water stains on ceilings or walls below the bathroom.

    If you notice any of these, it’s important to get a professional leak detection test to prevent further damage.

  • Yes! If left untreated, a shower leak can lead to:
    🚨 Structural damage – Water can weaken floors, walls, and ceilings.
    🚨 Mould & mildew growth – Excess moisture creates a breeding ground for mold.
    🚨 Increased water bills – A hidden leak wastes water and money.
    🚨 Tile and grout deterioration – Leaks break down adhesives, causing tiles to become loose.

    Early detection and repairs can save thousands in long-term repairs.

  • Shower leaks can occur due to:
    ✔ Cracked or deteriorated grout and silicone seals.
    ✔ Faulty waterproofing membranes behind tiles.
    ✔ Leaking shower drains or waste pipes.
    ✔ Damaged or improperly installed shower screens.
    ✔ Burst or leaking pipes behind the wall.

  • DIY fixes like applying silicone or regrouting may provide a temporary solution but won’t fix deeper issues like pipe leaks or failed waterproofing. For a permanent fix, it’s best to call a professional.
