Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a shower base repair take in Melton?
Most shower base repairs in Melton 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 Melton?
A shower repair in Melton 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 Melton?
Yes, we specialise in repairing cracked shower bases in Melton 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 Melton?
Shower base repairs in Melton 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 Melton including apartments and units?
Yes, we service all properties throughout Melton, 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 Melton.
What causes shower bases to crack and leak in Melton homes?
Common causes of shower base damage in Melton 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 Melton?
Professional shower base repairs in Melton 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 Melton?
Yes, we repair all types of shower bases in Melton 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 Melton?
Warning signs that you need shower repairs in Melton 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 Melton homes?
Shower repair is almost always the better choice for Melton 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
Melton was named after Melton Mowbray in the United Kingdom. The traditional custodians of land east of the Werribee River are the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung peoples, while the Wadawurrung people are traditional owners west of the river.
Originally a country town along the Ballarat-Melbourne growth corridor, Melton was designated a satellite city of Melbourne in 1974. The suburb experienced relatively stable population since recognition as a separate suburb in the 2006 Census, recording 7,305 residents that year. Population grew to 7,593 by 2011, then 8,069 by 2016, before settling at 7,953 at the 2021 Census.
Melbourne's significant urban area boundary was redefined to include Melton in 2023, leading to headlines claiming Melbourne's population overtook Sydney's. While the City of Melton is forecast to grow by over 250,000 by 2051, most growth is predicted for surrounding suburbs, particularly Aintree, Caroline Springs and Brookfield. The suburb of Melton itself is only predicted to grow 2 percent by 2051.
Melton is located on mostly flat former volcanic plains. Mount Cottrell, a blast-shield volcano, lies to the south-east, while Mount Kororoit is positioned to the north-east. The area receives less rainfall than Melbourne due to its position within the Otway Ranges rain shadow.
The Melton Airfield, located in neighbouring Toolern Vale, provides general aviation services. Rail services connect Melton to Melbourne, with electrification and quadruplication recommended in transport planning documents. Plans show the future electrified Melton service will route through the Metro Tunnel following major upgrades at Sunshine Station.
