Solving a Leaky Shower - Our Recent Shower Repair Project
When you’re dealing with a leaky shower, it’s not just a nuisance; it can lead to serious damage over time. Water damage in your bathroom can cause mold, rot, and structural issues that will only worsen if left unchecked. We recently completed a shower renovation for a client who faced exactly this issue – a persistent leak that caused damage to flooring in an adjacent hallway. Here's how we addressed the problem and transformed their shower updated and leak-free space.
The Problem: Water Leak Causing Damage
Our client noticed water damage to the surrounding floor and walls. Upon inspection, it became clear that the shower wasn’t adequately sealed, and over time, water had begun to infiltrate the tiles and grout and vinyl plank. This moisture not only affected the flooring and skirting but also had the potential to compromise the structural integrity of the surrounding area.
The Solution: Removing the Old Shower
To tackle this issue, we began by carefully removing the existing shower. This required precision, especially when cutting the tiles around the shower to avoid damaging the rest of the bathroom. We ensured that the removal process was as clean as possible, taking care to minimize disruption to other fixtures and finishes.
Once the shower was removed, we could assess the full extent of the damage. We repaired the affected areas, replacing any damaged materials to ensure the new shower would have a solid, waterproof foundation.
New Shower and Tapware Installation
With the area prepped, we installed a brand-new shower unit, complete with modern tapware. This process involved making sure that all seals were properly applied, ensuring there would be no leaks this time around. This wasn’t just an aesthetic upgrade—the new shower and fittings were designed with better functionality and water efficiency in mind. The updated tapware not only looked sleek but also improved the overall shower experience for our client.
The Final Result
The finished result was a stylish, modern shower that provided peace of mind for the homeowner. The water leak was resolved, the damaged areas repaired, and the shower was now functional again. The client was thrilled with the outcome, knowing that their bathroom was now protected from future water damage.
