Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a shower base repair take in Windsor?
Most shower base repairs in Windsor 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 Windsor?
A shower repair in Windsor 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 Windsor?
Yes, we specialise in repairing cracked shower bases in Windsor 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 Windsor?
Shower base repairs in Windsor 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 Windsor including apartments and units?
Yes, we service all properties throughout Windsor, 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 Windsor.
What causes shower bases to crack and leak in Windsor homes?
Common causes of shower base damage in Windsor 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 Windsor?
Professional shower base repairs in Windsor 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 Windsor?
Yes, we repair all types of shower bases in Windsor 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 Windsor?
Warning signs that you need shower repairs in Windsor 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 Windsor homes?
Shower repair is almost always the better choice for Windsor 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
Windsor developed as a residential suburb during the late nineteenth century. The area's development coincided with Melbourne's prosperity following the gold rush. Victorian and Edwardian-era housing established the suburb's architectural character, with terraces, villas, and cottages on regular street grids.
Chapel Street's southern section became Windsor's commercial hub, though maintaining more local character than Prahran's retail precinct. The suburb developed predominantly residential focus with tree-lined streets and modest housing stock. The area attracted middle-class residents seeking quality homes within convenient distance of the city.
Through the twentieth century, Windsor maintained stable residential character. The suburb avoided significant industrial development, preserving its housing stock. From the 1970s onwards, heritage protection and gentrification brought restoration of period homes. The area became increasingly desirable for its intact Victorian streetscapes and inner-city location.
Contemporary Windsor combines restored heritage homes with selective modern development. Chapel Street provides commercial facilities and transport. The suburb features strong community identity with local shops, cafes, and services. Albert Park and Fawkner Park offer nearby recreational facilities.
Windsor shares postcode 3181 with Prahran. The population includes young families, professionals, and established residents valuing heritage homes. Trams along Chapel Street and train services at Windsor Station provide transport. The suburb benefits from café culture and walkable amenity.
Windsor is located within the City of Stonnington local government area. The suburb represents successful heritage preservation, maintaining Victorian character while functioning as a desirable inner residential area with excellent amenity and transport connections.
