A real person answers, day or night
The Fault You Can See Is Rarely the One Causing It
A shower hides nearly all of its working parts behind tiles and wall lining, which is why guessed repairs fail twice. We trace the water to its true source before quoting, and you can talk it through first on (02) 9072 0520.

What We Fix, From the Rose to the Base
Shower work here spans the small and the structural, and every job starts with the same question: where is the water actually going? The blocks below cover the most common repairs, with tap repairs and bathroom plumbing sitting alongside:
Heads and arms
A rose that sprays sideways, weeps at the swivel or drips all night comes apart on the bench, gets fresh thread seal, new O-rings and a firm reseat, then the whole assembly is pressure tested before we pack up.
Mixers and valves
A stiff or temperature-swinging mixer usually points to a worn cartridge, and we diagnose whether a swap solves it or the in-wall valve needs replacing, with the decision resting on what the cavity actually holds rather than on guesswork.
Trays and waterproofing
Cracked trays, fallen falls and perished waterproofing let water creep into brick veneer cavities without a sound, so we rebuild the slope, reseal every junction and renew the membrane to standard, protecting the timber frames these mid-century houses depend on.
Leaks behind the wall
When paintwork blisters or a wall stains with no visible source, water is travelling where it cannot be seen, and pressure testing isolates the failing joint so the repair opens the smallest possible section of lining rather than the entire room.

Faults We Diagnose Week After Week
Warm then cold, shower by shower
Water that runs warm then cold mid-shower often traces to a failing tempering valve or a crossover inside an ageing mixer, and both are diagnosed on site and repaired without disturbing the rest of the bathroom's pipework.
Water escaping the tray
Water pooling outside the screen or staining the ceiling below points to failed falls, a cracked tray or a perished waste, and each fault worsens every time the shower runs until it is properly rebuilt.
Weak flow at the rose
A weak, sputtering rose often has a simple cause such as a clogged head, but on older runs it can signal a throttled stop tap or corroded supply, so we test each possibility in sequence before changing a single part.
Why a Small Leak Deserves a Fast Call
A shower leak never stays a shower leak on these sloping blocks with their long cavity runs, and the gap between a seal and a rebuild is usually just time. Three reasons to move early:
- Water never stays where it starts A weeping tray or failed membrane moves moisture through cavities and along joists, and by the time damage shows on paintwork or a ceiling, the repair has grown from a seal into a rebuild.
- Mould follows moisture into the frame Damp cavities behind tiles create the conditions mould loves, and families breathing that air every day deserve the source stopped, not the grout scrubbed each month.
- Small fixes cost less than late ones A reseated rose or swapped cartridge is a short job with van stock on hand, while a soaked frame, ruined lining and full waterproofing job is the price of waiting.
How it works
How a Shower Repair Runs, Step by Step
- 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.
- 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.
- 03
Diagnose, repair and prove
Water to the bathroom is isolated, the fault is confirmed with testing rather than guesswork, and the agreed repair runs from a reseated rose through to a rebuilt tray, with the result proven under pressure before the van doors close.
- 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 Mount Colah
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 Mount Colah 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 a dripping shower turns out to be a hidden pipe failure, our leak detection team takes over the tracing, and the plumbing hub holds the full list of what we cover.
Where we work
Areas We Service
Shower repair work runs daily across the ridgeline and out to Asquith, Hornsby, Berowra, Mount Kuring-gai and Hornsby Heights, with van stock chosen for the mid-century housing spread across the whole Hornsby plateau rather than just the newer builds.
Good questions, straight answers
Shower Questions from Mount Colah Locals
What does a shower repair usually cost?
Every job is priced on site after an inspection, and you receive one fixed written price covering the complete repair before any work begins, with no hourly surprises and a call out that costs nothing.
Why does my shower wall keep growing mould?
Recurring mould usually means water is escaping behind the tiles through failed grout, a cracked base or a perished membrane, and no amount of scrubbing will fix it until that hidden leak is repaired.
Can you repair showers in older brick veneer and fibro homes?
Yes, most houses here date from the 1960s to the 1980s, and our vans carry the valves, fittings and sealing materials those buildings need, so the repair is completed to suit the original construction.
Can a leaking shower damage the ceiling below?
It can, because water from a failed base or waste travels along joists before it shows, so a stain on the ceiling under a bathroom always deserves proper diagnosis rather than a cosmetic patch.
How long does a typical shower repair take?
Most repairs finish in a single visit because the van carries common parts, while base rebuilds or membrane work take longer, and you get the timing in writing with the fixed quote before we start.
Is the finished work covered by a warranty?
Every repair is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if the same fault returns because of workmanship, we come back and make it right at no cost, with no questions asked.
