Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a shower base repair take in Bundoora?
Most shower base repairs in Bundoora 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 Bundoora?
A shower repair in Bundoora 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 Bundoora?
Yes, we specialise in repairing cracked shower bases in Bundoora 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 Bundoora?
Shower base repairs in Bundoora 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 Bundoora including apartments and units?
Yes, we service all properties throughout Bundoora, 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 Bundoora.
What causes shower bases to crack and leak in Bundoora homes?
Common causes of shower base damage in Bundoora 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 Bundoora?
Professional shower base repairs in Bundoora 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 Bundoora?
Yes, we repair all types of shower bases in Bundoora 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 Bundoora?
Warning signs that you need shower repairs in Bundoora 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 Bundoora homes?
Shower repair is almost always the better choice for Bundoora 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
Bundoora is located 15 kilometres north-east of Melbourne's Central Business District, straddling the Cities of Banyule, Darebin, and Whittlesea local government areas. The suburb recorded a population of 28,068 at the 2021 census. The name Bundoora derives from Kelbundoora, named after a 19th-century Wurundjeri man. The area was originally inhabited by the Kurnaj-berring tribe of the Wurundjeri clan, who utilized several large wetlands present before European settlement.
Europeans first arrived in the Parish of Keelbundoora in 1835, with land surveyed by William Wedge-Drake in 1837 to facilitate sales. Members of the Port Phillip Association, including John Batman, initially grazed sheep on the land without regard for the Wurundjeri clan. The land was auctioned in Melbourne in 1838, sectioned into two areas of approximately 400 hectares, purchased by wealthy individuals and land speculators who resold it in blocks of 40 to 120 hectares for sheep grazing and grain production. Bundoora Post Office opened on 1 October 1863.
In 1899, renowned horse breeder John Matthew Vincent Smith purchased a 242-hectare property known as Bundoora Park for raising racing horses. A competition held that year to design a homestead was won by Sydney Herbert Wilson, architect of Malvern Town Hall, who claimed the £50 prize. La Trobe University, established in 1964 as Victoria's third university, chose Bundoora as its flagship campus location. RMIT University's Bundoora West Campus is situated at the tram terminus, with the East Campus area further along housing RMIT's Wind Tunnel facility.
The suburb features significant commercial developments including University Hill business park, home to the Australian headquarters of Continental AG, NOVA iT GROUP, and Bundoora BMW. Uni Hill Factory Outlets, a discount shopping mall, opened in November 2008. Bundoora Primary School, Victorian school number 1915, currently located at Balmoral Avenue, traces its origins to the original 1877 school building at 222 Plenty Road. The suburb hosts Bundoora Extended Care Centre, part of the Northern Health Network, providing medical care for over 100 inpatients and community outpatients.
