Local. Licensed. Fixed price.
We handle everyday plumbing in Stanhope Gardens, and where a problem is hidden rather than obvious we will investigate properly before quoting on a repair.
Opening a wall on an assumption is how a small job becomes a large one.
What we fix in Stanhope Gardens
Bathroom plumbing and shower repairs, blocked drains, hot water systems, burst and leaking pipes, taps and toilets, gas fitting, and roof plumbing.
For a burst pipe or a serious leak, turn the water off at the mains tap before you call. If water is anywhere near power points, the switchboard or light fittings, stay clear and treat it as an electrical hazard. Do not enter standing water in a room with live power.
24/7 Emergency
A shower that leaks into the structure usually shows up somewhere other than the shower. The first signs are commonly in an adjoining room or the level below: a skirting board lifting, paint bubbling on the other side of the wall, a section of floor that stays damp, or a musty smell that does not clear.
There are several possible sources and they need different repairs, which is why identifying which one is involved matters more than acting quickly.
The waste connection can leak below floor level, where nothing is visible. Failed sealant at the wall to floor junction lets water behind the surface. Cracked grout or tiles admit water that the waterproofing membrane beneath should then contain, so whether it becomes a problem depends on the condition of that membrane. A failed membrane is the most involved case, because it usually means the recess has to be rebuilt.
The reason this is worth investigating rather than resealing hopefully is that resealing a surface does nothing if the water is entering below it, and the damage continues out of sight in the meantime.

FAQ
Questions we are regularly asked. If yours is not answered here, call the Sydney office on 02 9099 9138.
Whatever you can tell us about the pattern. Whether one fixture is affected or several, whether it started suddenly or came on gradually, and whether anything changed just before it began. Those three details narrow the likely cause considerably before anyone arrives, which means less time spent diagnosing on site.
You get a written quote before any work starts, covering labour, parts and any other costs. If we find something unexpected once we are on site, we stop and talk it through with you before going further.
Because water entering the structure travels to the lowest point it can reach, which is often on the other side of a wall or on the level below. The location of the visible damage rarely indicates where the water is getting in, which is why tracing the source matters.
Sometimes, depending on the source. A leaking waste connection or failed sealant can often be addressed without rebuilding the recess. A failed waterproofing membrane usually cannot, because the membrane sits beneath the tiling. Establishing which one you have is the first step.
Only if failed sealant is actually the source. If water is entering below the surface, resealing changes nothing while the damage continues out of sight. Investigating first is usually cheaper than a repair that does not address the cause.
