Matt solved a MAJOR problem when he fixed our burst water in line. The original inbound water pipe was under a pattern stamped concrete driveway (big mistake). No problem for Matt – he ran a new connection from the meter into the house avoiding the massive cost that would otherwise have been the case by mending the original pipe. Always on time, responsive and easy to deal with. Also, not expensive at all. Great plumbing service.

Had Matt turn up for a job yesterday and once again provided quality service at an affordable price. Myself and extended family have been using GOATS plumbing for many years and couldn’t be happier with Matt’s knowledge and standard of work.

I had Goats Plumbing take care of the re-plumbing for water and gas in my small unit renovation — covering the kitchen, laundry, and bathroom — and Matt was fantastic to work with. The quote was quick and fair, the work was completed on time and at a great price, and the quality was excellent. Super easy to communicate with and really collaborative throughout the project. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, skilled plumbing work.Definitely recommend

We are so happy with the work Matt did for our bathroom. He is super easy to work with, pays attention to detail and shared ideas on how to make it exactly what we wanted. Nothing was too difficult for him, such a stand-up guy! Would highly recommend – thanks Matt.

Leaking Shower Repair in Greensborough

A leaking shower is more than just annoying. Depending on where the water is going, it can cause serious and expensive damage to the surrounding structure. Water that penetrates through failed shower waterproofing can rot wall framing, damage flooring substrates, and cause mould growth inside wall cavities that is costly to remediate.

Goats Plumbing diagnoses and repairs leaking showers for homes across Greensborough and surrounding areas. We take the time to find the actual source of the leak rather than applying a surface fix that only delays the problem.

  • Leaking shower taps and mixers
  • Leaking showerheads
  • Leaking shower screen frames
  • Failed shower waterproofing
  • Leaking shower base

Types of Shower Leaks and Their Causes

Not all shower leaks are the same, and identifying the type and source of the leak determines the repair approach. Goats Plumbing deals with the following types of shower leaks regularly across Greensborough:

  • Leaking tap or mixer – A dripping tap or mixer that continues to drip when turned off. Usually caused by worn tap washers, O-rings, or ceramic cartridges. Relatively straightforward to repair.
  • Leaking showerhead – Dripping from the showerhead when the tap is off usually indicates a faulty diverter or worn O-rings in the showerhead connection.
  • Failed waterproofing – Water penetrating through grout or around the shower base into the wall structure. This is the most serious type of shower leak and can cause significant hidden damage.
  • Leaking screen or frame – Water escaping from the shower area through failed seals around a shower screen frame.

How Do You Know If Your Shower Is Leaking Through the Waterproofing?

Waterproofing failures are often hidden and can be difficult to detect until significant damage has occurred. Signs that your shower may be leaking through the waterproofing include:

  • Damp or water staining on the other side of the shower wall
  • Soft or spongy flooring adjacent to the shower
  • Mould appearing on the ceiling of a room below the bathroom
  • Grout that is cracked, missing, or has changed colour
  • Tiles that are hollow-sounding when tapped or have started to lift

If you notice these signs, it is important to act quickly. The longer a waterproofing failure goes unaddressed, the more extensive and costly the damage becomes. Goats Plumbing can assess the shower and advise on the extent of the problem.

Shower Tap and Mixer Repairs

A constantly dripping shower tap wastes significant water and adds to your water bill. Goats Plumbing repairs and replaces shower taps and mixers for homes across Greensborough:

  • Tap washer and O-ring replacement – For older style tap fittings that drip when turned off.
  • Ceramic cartridge replacement – For modern single-lever mixer taps where the cartridge has worn or failed.
  • Full tap or mixer replacement – Where the tap body itself is damaged or the client wants to upgrade to a new fitting.

For a leaking tap anywhere else in the house, see our dedicated leaking tap repair page.

Our process

How We Repair Leaking Showers

1.

Diagnose the leak source
We inspect the shower thoroughly to identify the exact source of the leak, distinguishing between a plumbing fault such as a dripping tap and a waterproofing failure.

2.

Explain findings and quote
We explain what we found and what repair work is required, providing a clear upfront quote before any work begins.

3.

Carry out the repair
We carry out the appropriate repair, whether that is replacing a tap cartridge, resealing a screen, or advising on waterproofing rectification works that may involve a tiler.

4.

Test and confirm
We test the repaired area to confirm the leak is resolved and the shower is operating correctly before leaving the job.

FAQs

COMMON QUESTIONS

A shower that continues to drip after being turned off is usually caused by a worn tap washer, O-ring, or ceramic cartridge inside the tap or mixer. This is typically a straightforward repair.
Signs include damp patches or staining on the wall adjacent to the shower, soft flooring around the shower base, mould in unexpected locations, hollow or lifting tiles, or cracked and deteriorated grout.
It depends on the cause and extent of the leak. Tap and mixer repairs do not require retiling. Minor waterproofing issues at grout joints can sometimes be addressed with regrouting and re-sealing. More significant waterproofing failures typically require stripping back to the substrate and retiling.
Goats Plumbing provides upfront quotes after assessing the shower. Tap and mixer repairs are straightforward and relatively affordable. Waterproofing repairs vary in cost depending on the extent of the work required.
A leaking tap is not an immediate emergency but should be repaired promptly to avoid water waste and damage. A waterproofing failure is more urgent as ongoing water penetration causes cumulative structural damage that becomes more expensive to fix the longer it is left.
