Stop the drip today before it becomes next month's ceiling repair

Water finds the weakest point in a recess and keeps working at it, through every shower, every day. Ring (02) 9072 0520 and we will trace the leak to its source, hand you a fixed written price before any tool comes off the van, and have the repair tested before we pack up.

Repairing pipework under a kitchen sink

One suburb, three eras of shower trouble

The earliest cottages

Subdivided from 1915 and built out in waves, the houses here present shower faults that shift sharply with the era of the build. The first fibro and weatherboard homes often run showers over baths, where a perished waste or failed wall junction soaks framing never designed for standing water.

The mid-century recesses

The brick and brick-veneer homes from later decades carry proper shower bases, many with original mosaic tiles and corner shelves that have shifted on their base over fifty years of daily use.

The station-side townhouses

Newer builds bring tiled floors over membranes and frameless screens, where the failure points are sealant lines and waste connections rather than structure. Matching the repair to the build, not applying one method everywhere, is what keeps these fixes from coming back.

What we fix in your shower

A full spread of shower work, from a weeping head to a recess that has failed behind the tiles:

Leaking shower recesses

We trace every leak to its true source, whether a failed wall or floor seal, a cracked recess base or pipework behind the tiles, then rebuild the waterproofing so the damage stops rather than just dries out for now.

Mixers, heads and arms

Low pressure, erratic spray patterns and arms scaled shut by years of ridge water get sorted on the spot, with the van stocked for common fittings so a replacement or reseat happens in a single visit without waiting on parts.

Dripping shower mixers

Dripping mixers usually hide a worn cartridge behind the wall face, so we open the fitting carefully, fit the correct replacement for the brand and era, and test temperature and flow before we leave.

Where the fault turns out to be the tap rather than the mixer, our tap repairs work covers washers, seats and spindles.

Shower drains and floor waste

Water pooling at your feet points to a hair and soap clog or a graded waste line struggling under an older floor, so we clear the trap properly and check the fall. When the slowdown traces back into the pipe itself, a CCTV drain inspection shows what is happening underground.

Assembling pipe fittings before installation

The ridge climate that blurs leaks and condensation

Sitting high on the Hornsby plateau, this suburb runs noticeably cooler at night than the coastal plain, and warm humid summers push heavy condensation through bathrooms that never quite dry out.

Why that matters for diagnosis

A wall that grows mould through a muggy February can look identical to one being wetted from behind by a failed seal. We test rather than guess, checking moisture readings on both faces before anyone opens tiles or repaints plaster.

Afternoon sun loads one wall

West-facing blocks dry one side fast while the shaded wall stays suspect, and knowing which is which saves a lot of unnecessary work before the first tile is touched.

Shower faults we are called to most

Water seeping through tiles or into the next room

A wall that darkens after every shower, or a ceiling stain below, usually means the waterproof membrane or sealant has failed, and catching it early keeps the repair inside the recess instead of spreading through plaster and framing.

Mould that keeps returning on the ceiling

Recurring mould in a humid summer bathroom is often ventilation, but it can also mark a slow leak wetting the plaster behind the paint, so we test the wall before anyone repaints over a problem that will only grow.

A shower that floods the bathroom floor

Standing water escaping past the screen or a hobbled drain suggests the floor fall has failed or the waste is partly blocked, both fixable, though left alone they push water toward timber floors and skirtings every single day.

The van stocked with parts to fix it on the first visit

Why it matters: what a shower leak costs if you wait

Small leaks never stay small

Water takes the easiest path through a wall cavity, wetting insulation, plaster and timber far beyond the recess, and the repair bill grows with every month it runs.

Timber framing does not forgive

In the older cottages around here, a shower over bath that weeps into a wooden floor edge can rot bearers and skirtings silently, turning a reseal job into structural carpentry.

A dry bathroom is a healthy one

Stopping the leak removes the damp that feeds mould, which matters in family homes where kids' bedrooms sit directly below or beside the main bathroom.

If the leak points to pipework anywhere else in the house, our broader plumbing services cover the whole property, and leak detection finds faults with no visible source at all.

How it works

How we get your shower right, step by step

  1. 01

    Call and tell us

    Ring (02) 9072 0520 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

    Complete the repair with matched materials

    We strip the failed seal or cartridge, rebuild the junction with membrane, sealant and fittings matched to your recess, then flood test the shower properly so the fix is proven before the tiles, plaster and paint go back on.

  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 Asquith

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 Asquith 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

Areas we service

We repair showers across the suburb and the neighbouring ridgeline suburbs of North Wahroonga, Hornsby, Mount Colah, Waitara and North Turramurra, bringing the same fixed-price, no-surprises approach to every street, whether the house is an interwar cottage, a mid-century brick veneer or one of the newer builds near the station.

Good questions, straight answers

Shower repair questions Asquith locals ask

How much does a shower repair cost?

Every shower repair is quoted as a fixed written price before any work starts, after a $0 call out assessment, so you know the full cost up front and the invoice never carries anything you have not approved.

Will you work around original tiles and heritage fittings?

Yes, we open and reseal shower recesses carefully in fibro, weatherboard and brick-veneer homes, protecting original tiles and brittle fittings, and where a membrane has failed we talk through the options before anything is disturbed.

Do you repair leaking showers over baths?

Leaking showers over baths are common in the suburb's mid-century bathrooms, and we reseal wall junctions, replace worn bath wastes and check the membrane, fixing the leak without a full renovation where the structure underneath is still sound.

How long does a shower repair take?

Most shower repairs are completed in a single visit because our vans carry common cartridges, seals and waste fittings, while a failed membrane that needs re-waterproofing is quoted separately with a clear timeline before we begin.

Is a small shower leak really urgent?

Yes, because slow leaks soak subfloor timber and plaster quietly for months in older homes, so a small seal failure fixed today spares you the rotten framing and mould remediation it becomes if ignored.

Are your plumbers licensed?

Yes, every plumber on our team is fully licensed and insured under licence #275278C, and the compliance paperwork for any shower or bathroom work arrives with the invoice without you needing to chase it.
