Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a shower base repair take in Melbourne CBD?
Most shower base repairs in Melbourne CBD are completed within 1-3 days. Our no-tile-removal repair method means minimal disruption to your daily routine. You can typically use your shower again within 24-48 hours after the repair is complete. Unlike full shower base replacements that can take weeks, our repair process fixes cracks, chips, and leaks quickly without the mess of demolition.
What's the difference between a shower repair and a full bathroom renovation in Melbourne CBD?
A shower repair in Melbourne CBD focuses on fixing specific issues like cracked shower bases, leaking tiles, or damaged grout without changing the layout or removing fixtures. A full bathroom renovation involves replacing multiple fixtures, retiling, updating plumbing, and possibly changing the layout, which takes weeks. If your shower base is the only problem, a repair saves you thousands compared to a full renovation.
Can a cracked shower base be repaired without removing tiles in Melbourne CBD?
Yes, we specialise in repairing cracked shower bases in Melbourne CBD without removing any tiles. Our professional repair process uses structural epoxy and fibreglass reinforcement to fix cracks, chips, and damage while preserving your existing tilework. This approach saves you 70% compared to full shower base replacement and avoids the mess, time, and expense of tile removal and re-waterproofing. Most repairs are completed the same day with minimal disruption.
How much does it cost to fix a leaking shower in Melbourne CBD?
Shower base repairs in Melbourne CBD typically cost between $900-$1,500 depending on the extent of damage. This is significantly less than the cost of a complete bathroom renovation. We provide free quotes so you know the exact price before any work begins. No hidden costs or surprise charges.
Do you service all areas of Melbourne CBD including apartments and units?
Yes, we service all properties throughout Melbourne CBD, including houses, apartments, units, townhouses, and commercial buildings. Our shower repair service is ideal for Melbourne's high-rise apartments where traditional renovation work is difficult due to body corporate restrictions, access limitations, and the need to minimise disruption to neighbours. We work with homeowners, property managers, landlords, and facilities managers across all of Melbourne CBD.
What causes shower bases to crack and leak in Melbourne CBD homes?
Common causes of shower base damage in Melbourne CBD include normal wear and tear over time, building settlement (especially in Melbourne's clay soil areas), poor initial installation, heavy impact from dropped items, inadequate support underneath the base, water damage from previous leaks, and thermal expansion from hot water use. Older fiberglass and acrylic shower bases (10-15 years+) are particularly prone to flexing, cracking, and developing leaks. Early repair prevents minor cracks from becoming major structural problems that can cause water damage to floors, ceilings, and walls.
How long do shower base repairs last in Melbourne CBD?
Professional shower base repairs in Melbourne CBD typically last 5+ years when properly maintained, often matching or exceeding the lifespan of the original shower base. The longevity depends on the repair quality, extent of original damage, ongoing usage, and proper care. Our repairs use structural-grade epoxy and fibreglass reinforcement designed for wet environments and daily use. We provide care instructions and warranty coverage to ensure your repair delivers long-term value. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and bleach on repaired areas to maximise durability.
Can you repair fiberglass, acrylic, and stone shower bases in Melbourne CBD?
Yes, we repair all types of shower bases in Melbourne CBD including fibreglass, acrylic, stone resin, cultured marble, and composite materials. Each material requires specific repair techniques and products. Our experienced technicians assess your shower base material and apply the appropriate repair method to ensure a durable, long-lasting fix that matches your existing surface.
What are the signs I need a shower repair in Melbourne CBD?
Warning signs that you need shower repairs in Melbourne CBD include: visible cracks or chips in the shower base, water pooling that doesn't drain properly, soft or spongy spots when standing in the shower, water stains on the ceiling below your bathroom, musty odours indicating hidden mould, loose or cracked tiles around the shower, discoloured grout or caulking, and water escaping onto the bathroom floor. If you notice any of these issues, contact us immediately—early repair prevents expensive water damage to your home's structure and surrounding rooms.
Is shower repair better than replacement for Melbourne CBD homes?
Shower repair is almost always the better choice for Melbourne CBD homes when the damage is isolated to cracks, chips, or minor structural issues. Repair costs 70% less than replacement, is completed in days not weeks, requires no tile removal or demolition, and avoids the disruption of a full renovation. Replacement is only necessary when the shower base has severe structural failure, extensive water damage, or you're undertaking a complete bathroom renovation anyway. For most situations, professional repair delivers excellent results at a fraction of the cost.

Local history
Melbourne's central business district sits on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. The CBD was designed with the distinctive Hoddle Grid layout in 1837 by government surveyor Robert Hoddle, creating the orderly street pattern that defines the city centre today.
Development accelerated during the Victorian gold rush era, establishing Melbourne as one of the British Empire's wealthiest cities. Grand Victorian-era buildings, arcades, and laneways from this period remain integral to the CBD's character. The twentieth century brought modernization, with office towers and international architectural styles transforming the skyline.
The Postcode 3000 initiative in the 1990s successfully converted underutilized office spaces into residential apartments, revitalizing the CBD with a growing resident population. Today, the CBD combines heritage buildings with contemporary towers, creating Australia's second-largest business district.
The CBD hosts major cultural institutions including the State Library Victoria, Melbourne Town Hall, and numerous theatres. Federation Square, opened in 2002, has become a key public space. Retail is centered around Bourke Street Mall, while the laneways are renowned for cafes, street art, and boutique shopping.
Transport infrastructure includes Flinders Street and Southern Cross stations, extensive tram networks, and proximity to major freeways. The CBD serves as Greater Melbourne's primary employment centre with significant finance, technology, education, and tourism sectors.
The CBD population includes substantial student and young professional demographics, with ongoing residential development continuing to increase density. The area falls within the City of Melbourne local government area.
