A real person answers, day or night

Water where you cannot see it is the fault that matters most

Most shower faults start small: a drip at the rose, grout that stays damp, a faint stain on the ceiling downstairs. Caught early they are quick fixes, so call (02) 9072 0504 early. We cover every street in Greenwich and the streets beyond it, and every repair starts with finding where the water is actually going.

Repairing pipework under a kitchen sink

Bathrooms built long before today's waterproofing rules

Pre-1940 plumbing behind original tiles

Much of the housing on the point dates to the Federation and interwar eras, and unrenovated bathrooms from that stock often still feed from corroded galvanised lines, which dulls pressure at the rose and sheds rust into the water.

Salt in the harbourside air

Down near the water, around Gore Creek and the foreshore, there is enough salt in the air to matter for exposed metalwork, so shower fittings and fixings on those blocks age noticeably faster than their inland equivalents.

Wall construction varies street by street

Double-brick and weatherboard houses open up very differently when access is needed, and we plan every repair around the wall that actually exists rather than assuming a standard cavity.

If the wider bathroom is involved, our bathroom plumbing page covers the full fixture and pipework picture, and the whole suite of plumbing services sits behind every shower job we attend.

Shower repairs we handle around the peninsula

Four repairs account for most of the shower work we do, and each one gets diagnosed properly before a tool comes off the van, with the fixed price agreed first:

Leaking shower heads

A shower head that drips, sprays sideways or barely drizzles usually has a worn washer, a scaled nozzle or a tired swivel ball behind it, and we match the right repair to the fitting you actually own rather than guessing.

Leaks behind the wall

Water escaping inside a cavity never announces itself, so we put the supply under test pressure and read moisture levels around the suspect area first, which keeps any opening of the tiles to the smallest patch the fault genuinely requires. Where the source is truly elusive, leak detection equipment narrows it down without guesswork.

Failed waterproofing

Water escaping past failed grout or a breached membrane ruins bathroom floors gradually, so we assess carefully whether a regrout, a reseal or a full membrane repair is the honest long-term answer and price the correct scope before lifting anything.

Shower waste blockages

Hair, soap and scale build up in shower wastes until water pools around your ankles mid-shower, so we clear the trap and drain properly and confirm healthy flow rather than leaving behind a partial blockage that quietly returns within weeks.

Assembling pipe fittings before installation

Two-storey layouts and strata walls change the job

Bathrooms stacked over living rooms

The strata blocks on the St Leonards edge and the peninsula's two-storey homes put showers directly above living spaces and downstairs bedrooms, so a tray failure or a leaking waste shows up as a ceiling stain far below the fault.

Tight side passages

Interwar houses tuck their bathrooms and services into narrow side passages, which limits where pipework can run and rewards repairs planned around the actual wall construction rather than forced through it.

Owners corporations involved

Strata repairs need respectful scheduling, clear communication and clean work, because the fault in one bathroom is usually the water problem of several households at once.
The van stocked with parts to fix it on the first visit

Shower faults that build quietly behind the tiles

The ceiling stain downstairs

A shower leaking through to the level below is the peninsula's classic multi-storey fault, because the source can be the tray, the waste or the supply, and only proper tracing tells you which before tiles come off.

Pressure that has faded

Weak flow at the rose often traces to corroded old pipework rather than the fitting itself, especially in homes still on original galvanised services, so we test the whole supply run before replacing anything.

Mould and lifting grout

Persistent mould along shower corners signals water getting where it should not, and sealing over it only hides the problem, so we find the pathway first and repair the cause, not the symptom.

Why a slow shower leak never stays small

A shower leak rarely fixes itself, and the water always goes somewhere, which is why the honest answer is repair now rather than watch and wait:

Structural damage

Water that seeps past tiles soaks framing, plaster and floor timbers over months, and by the time the damage is visible the repair has grown from a fitting into a rebuild, with the cost growing alongside it.

Mould and unhealthy air

Damp cavities behind shower walls breed mould you cannot see, and the musty smell that follows is usually the smallest of the problems a hidden leak leaves behind.

Bigger bills all round

A leaking shower wastes heated water every day it runs, and the eventual repair costs more than the early one, so acting early protects both.

How it works

Our shower repair process, step by step

  1. 01

    Call and tell us

    Ring (02) 9072 0504 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.

  2. 02

    Quote before work

    Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.

  3. 03

    Repair and test

    The shower is run and pressure tested at every joint, the tray and walls are checked for leaks under working conditions, and only when everything holds do we sign the work off as properly finished, with the workspace left clean.

  4. 04

    Backed for life

    Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.

Why choose Your Plumber Greenwich

Fixed prices, kept

Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.

Licensed and insured

Your Plumber Greenwich works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.

Lifetime Labour Warranty

Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.

Genuinely local response

We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.

Where we work

Shower repairs across the neighbouring suburbs

Shower repairs cover the whole peninsula, from the Federation streets around the point to the apartment blocks along the highway edge, and we also serve Northwood, Wollstonecraft, St Leonards, Longueville and Waverton, where the same harbour-side housing mix applies.

Good questions, straight answers

Shower repair questions Greenwich homeowners ask

Do you repair showers in Federation-era bathrooms?

Yes, and we work carefully around original tiling and fittings, isolating the supply, tracing leaks through older wall cavities and patching any access neatly, which matters in the peninsula's pre-war homes.

Can you find a shower leak without stripping the tiles?

Usually, because pressure testing, moisture reading and targeted access panels locate most leaks precisely, so full tile removal is reserved for genuine membrane failures that leave no simpler repair path.

How is the price worked out?

Every job is quoted as a single fixed written price after inspection, with the $0 call out fee meaning the assessment costs nothing, and no work begins until you approve the number.

Do you work on apartment showers?

We do, and strata bathrooms get the same fixed-price process, with repairs coordinated respectfully around neighbours and access arranged with the owners corporation where shared walls or plant are involved.

How quickly can you attend?

We answer the phone around the clock and aim to be on-site promptly, though exact timing depends on the day's load, so call us and we will give you an honest window.

Are the plumbers licensed?

Every plumber on the team holds full licensing and insurance, including licence #275278C, and compliance paperwork comes with the job, so you can verify everything before any work is carried out.
