Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a shower base repair take in Greenvale?
Most shower base repairs in Greenvale 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 Greenvale?
A shower repair in Greenvale 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 Greenvale?
Yes, we specialise in repairing cracked shower bases in Greenvale 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 Greenvale?
Shower base repairs in Greenvale 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 Greenvale including apartments and units?
Yes, we service all properties throughout Greenvale, 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 Greenvale.
What causes shower bases to crack and leak in Greenvale homes?
Common causes of shower base damage in Greenvale 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 Greenvale?
Professional shower base repairs in Greenvale 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 Greenvale?
Yes, we repair all types of shower bases in Greenvale 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 Greenvale?
Warning signs that you need shower repairs in Greenvale 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 Greenvale homes?
Shower repair is almost always the better choice for Greenvale 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
Greenvale is situated 20 kilometres north of Melbourne's Central Business District within the City of Hume local government area. The suburb recorded a population of 21,274 at the 2021 census, showing remarkable growth of 37.6% from 15,466 in 2016. Greenvale takes its name from a farm owned by local farmer John McKerchar. The area was originally part of the Parish of Yuroke, from which it first derived its identity.
Historical records from 1863 mention the area as Greens Gully, home to several estates. A post office opened in 1871 to serve the growing community. Large numbers of settlers began farming in Greenvale, attracted by superior land quality compared to surrounding areas. The Greenvale Reservoir was constructed in 1973, becoming a defining feature of the suburb's landscape. During the 1980s, Greenvale experienced significant growth with numerous shopping centres, schools, and recreational facilities established. Between 1905 and 1998, the suburb housed Greenvale Sanatorium, Victoria's first dedicated public health facility.
Although positioned only ten minutes from Melbourne Airport, Greenvale maintained a semi-rural character until recently, characterized by larger farm holdings north of the town centre past Somerton Road. Three major farms, including one known as Hacienda bordering Aitken College, are now planned for development into new housing estates. The most common ancestries include Italian (19.9%), Australian (13.9%), English (11.5%), Turkish (5.9%), and Greek (3.9%). Approximately 65% of residents are Australian-born, with significant communities from Italy, Iraq, Turkey, Sri Lanka, and India. Greenvale Lakes, a housing estate near Greenvale Reservoir, features Kolbe Catholic College. The suburb has approximately 25 parks covering 36.2% of its total area, making it one of the greenest suburbs in Melbourne's north. Greenvale Football Club is one of the Essendon District Football League's most successful teams, having won the A Grade premiership twice.
