Leaking showers always cause problems such as carpet, grout, paint,architraves and plaster wall to grow stain, bacteria and mould which often leaves unhealthy smells and cause health hindrance to your family or house mates. Although standard silicone, grout and sealant may temperately stop the shower leaks but the problems will come back again in months with more damage than what you started with, which means you are losing your money and time. This is where LEAK DOCTOR can help with our professional and dependable bathroom shower repairs’ options which will fix the problem with no leaks no more.
Signs of a Leaking Shower
- Swollen door architraves,rotten skirting boards and lifted floor boards around the leaking bathroom
- Cracked or moving tiles,cracked and missing grout even a tiny hole in the shower can cause serious leaking to the bathroom and the room next to it
- Split or mouldy silicone seals in the perimeter of the shower floor will also allow water access to the walls and floor and then spread to the rest of the whole bathroom
- Split or damaged waterproof membrane can allow water to penetrate in the timer flooring then ruin the structural frame underneath
- An un-sealed tap can also cause water ran into the wall
- We fixed a lot of serious shower leaking with the frame work underneath but most of them can avoid the costy repair as long as you fix them at the early stage!
1. Permanent Clear Waterproof Coating System
Leak Doctor has the unique clear waterproof coating which is not just grout sealer!

As a clear coating it is able to be installed over tiled surfaces like a shower/ balcony to form a waterproofed barrier without changing the original appearance.
