Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a shower base repair take in Braybrook?
Most shower base repairs in Braybrook 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 Braybrook?
A shower repair in Braybrook 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 Braybrook?
Yes, we specialise in repairing cracked shower bases in Braybrook 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 Braybrook?
Shower base repairs in Braybrook 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 Braybrook including apartments and units?
Yes, we service all properties throughout Braybrook, 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 Braybrook.
What causes shower bases to crack and leak in Braybrook homes?
Common causes of shower base damage in Braybrook 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 Braybrook?
Professional shower base repairs in Braybrook 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 Braybrook?
Yes, we repair all types of shower bases in Braybrook 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 Braybrook?
Warning signs that you need shower repairs in Braybrook 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 Braybrook homes?
Shower repair is almost always the better choice for Braybrook 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
Braybrook is bounded in the west by Duke Street, in the north by the Maribyrnong River, in the east by Ashley Street, and in the south by the Sunbury railway line and Sunshine Road. Braybrook Post Office opened on 1 December 1860.
Braybrook is primarily an industrial suburb, positioned approximately midway between the former Councils of Footscray and Sunshine. The 2021 Census recorded 9,682 residents.
Braybrook Primary School, which was 120 years old and located on Ballarat Road, closed and amalgamated with Sunshine East Primary and Sunvale Primary in 2007. The old buildings burned down in 2010, were subsequently demolished, and the site was allocated to the relocated Rosamond School.
Some gentrification has occurred in the past decade with many former factory sites developed for modern housing projects including townhouses. More first home buyers and developers are focusing on Braybrook and neighbouring Maidstone and West Footscray. Braybrook was ranked 95 out of top 314 most liveable suburbs in Melbourne in the 2011 Liveability Stakes by The Age and The Melbourne Magazine.
The Community Hub at 19 Hargreaves Crescent serves as a base for the Neighbourhood Renewal Team and the Braybrook and Maidstone Neighbourhood Association to collaborate with local residents. The Hub hosts the Braidstone Bulletin community newsletter and provides small meeting rooms for local groups.
The Catholic parish of Christ the King, Braybrook was established in 1952. Shopping facilities include Central West Plaza on Ashley Street and South Road, and Braybrook Shopping Centre on Ashley Street and Ballarat Road. Rail services are provided via Tottenham and Sunshine railway stations.
