Is your shower leaking?
6 warning signs your grout or silicone has failed
Water gets past grout and silicone long before you see a puddle. If you notice any of these, it’s time to get it looked at — the earlier, the cheaper the fix.
Loose or drummy tiles
Tiles that sound hollow when tapped, or move, often mean water is already getting in underneath.
Cracked or missing grout
Gaps and hairline cracks in the grout lines are open doors for water — especially along the shower floor.
Black, peeling silicone
Mouldy or lifting silicone around the floor, corners and screen no longer seals the joints.
Mould that keeps coming back
If cleaning never shifts it, the mould is growing inside porous, water-logged grout.
Damp walls, skirting or carpet
Swollen skirting, bubbling paint or damp carpet next to the bathroom is a classic leak sign.
Musty smell
A persistent damp smell after showers can mean moisture is trapped under the tiles.

Why act now
A small leak today is a big bill later
Water that gets behind tiles doesn’t dry out — it spreads. Fixing grout and silicone early is usually far cheaper than repairing the damage it causes.
Inside the shower
Water sits under the tiles, the bedding softens and tiles start to loosen, crack and drop.
In the walls and floor
Moisture wicks into plasterboard, timber framing and flooring, which can lead to rot and mould.
Next door and downstairs
In apartments and townhouses, a leak can reach a neighbour’s ceiling — and become a strata problem.

Which fix do you need?
Regrout, reseal or retile?
Plenty of showers get ripped out when they only needed new grout and silicone. Here’s how the options compare.
| Reseal (silicone) | Regrout + reseal | Full retile / renovation | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Mouldy or peeling silicone, grout still sound | Cracked, missing or mouldy grout, early leaks, tiles still firmly fixed | Broken or loose tiles everywhere, failed waterproofing, a new look |
| Tiles removed? | No | No | Yes — everything |
| Typical time | A few hours | Usually one day | Often several weeks |
| Relative cost | $ | $$ | $$$$ |
| Mess & disruption | Minimal | Low | High — bathroom out of action |

FAQ
Common questions
Can you fix a leaking shower without removing the tiles?
In most cases, yes. Most shower leaks start at failed grout and silicone — especially around the floor, corners and screen. We remove the old grout and silicone, regrout and reseal, and the tiles stay where they are. If we find something that can’t be fixed without removing tiles, such as failed waterproofing under the floor, we’ll tell you before you spend anything.
How long does shower regrouting take?
Most showers are regrouted and resealed in a single visit. We’ll tell you how long to leave it before you use the shower again — it depends on the products used and the conditions on the day.
How much does it cost to regrout a shower in Canberra?
It depends on the size of the shower, how many tiles and grout lines there are, and the condition of what’s there now. Send us a few photos through the quote form and we’ll give you a clear, fixed price — no surprises.
