Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a shower base repair take in Campbellfield?
Most shower base repairs in Campbellfield 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 Campbellfield?
A shower repair in Campbellfield 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 Campbellfield?
Yes, we specialise in repairing cracked shower bases in Campbellfield 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 Campbellfield?
Shower base repairs in Campbellfield 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 Campbellfield including apartments and units?
Yes, we service all properties throughout Campbellfield, 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 Campbellfield.
What causes shower bases to crack and leak in Campbellfield homes?
Common causes of shower base damage in Campbellfield 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 Campbellfield?
Professional shower base repairs in Campbellfield 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 Campbellfield?
Yes, we repair all types of shower bases in Campbellfield 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 Campbellfield?
Warning signs that you need shower repairs in Campbellfield 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 Campbellfield homes?
Shower repair is almost always the better choice for Campbellfield 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
Campbellfield is located 13 kilometres north of Melbourne's Central Business District within the City of Hume local government area. The suburb recorded a population of 4,977 at the 2021 census. Campbellfield was named after two unrelated families named Campbell who purchased farm lots in the area during the 1840s. The land was lightly timbered, making it suitable for grazing, and its proximity to Merri Creek enhanced its agricultural appeal.
Campbellfield railway station operated adjacent to Camp Road from 1889 until 1956, when it closed to accommodate the newly built Upfield station, positioned for better community accessibility. The suburb gained international recognition as home to Ford Australia's Broadmeadows Assembly Plant, built in 1959, where iconic Falcon and Territory models were manufactured. The Ford factory closed in October 2016 with the loss of 650 jobs, marking the end of an era for Australian automotive manufacturing.
Today, Campbellfield functions as a mixed residential and industrial suburb featuring various business parks and industrial areas. The suburb contains one public school, Campbellfield Heights Primary School, with shopping facilities including a strip on Barry Road known as Fordgate and a shopping plaza on Sydney Road. In August 2020, a significant toxic fire erupted at MRI e-cycle solutions, a large e-waste operator storing up to 20 tonnes of batteries and 60 tonnes of electronic waste. The blaze caused loud explosions audible from kilometres away, with contaminated water spreading into Merlynston Creek and Jack Roper Lake in Broadmeadows. According to the 2016 census, 42.5% of residents were born in Australia, with significant communities from Iraq, Lebanon, Italy, and Turkey. The most common religions were Islam and Catholicism, each comprising approximately 35% of the population. Upfield station on the Upfield line serves as the suburb's railway connection.
