Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a shower base repair take in Melton South?
Most shower base repairs in Melton South 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 South?
A shower repair in Melton South 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 South?
Yes, we specialise in repairing cracked shower bases in Melton South 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 South?
Shower base repairs in Melton South 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 South including apartments and units?
Yes, we service all properties throughout Melton South, 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 South.
What causes shower bases to crack and leak in Melton South homes?
Common causes of shower base damage in Melton South 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 South?
Professional shower base repairs in Melton South 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 South?
Yes, we repair all types of shower bases in Melton South 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 South?
Warning signs that you need shower repairs in Melton South 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 South homes?
Shower repair is almost always the better choice for Melton South 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 South developed as a residential suburb adjacent to the Melton township. The Post Office opened on 1 January 1917, marking the area's establishment as a distinct community separate from central Melton.
The 2021 Census recorded 11,362 residents. The suburb features a mix of established homes and more recent residential development, creating diverse housing character throughout the area.
Mount Carberry, a small hill, is located in a recreational reserve among suburban housing, providing local parkland amenity. Other parks in Melton South include Blackwood Drive Reserve and Melton South Oval, offering recreational facilities for residents.
A Country Fire Authority station is located in the suburb, providing emergency services to the local community and surrounding areas. The early 1990s saw the Melton Private Hospital, located on Exford Road, close down to become a nursing home. The hospital was popular for births during the 1970s and 1980s, though private fees reduced its popularity over time. Women now travel to Bacchus Marsh or Sunshine Hospitals for maternity services.
The area has one General Practitioners office on Brooklyn Road, serving local medical needs. A cycle path follows Toolern Creek to the suburb's east, forming the Toolern Creek Trail for recreational cycling and walking.
Melton South has an Australian Rules team competing in the Ballarat Football League, maintaining sporting connections with regional Victoria despite the suburb's inclusion in Greater Melbourne.
