Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a shower base repair take in Rockbank?
Most shower base repairs in Rockbank 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 Rockbank?
A shower repair in Rockbank 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 Rockbank?
Yes, we specialise in repairing cracked shower bases in Rockbank 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 Rockbank?
Shower base repairs in Rockbank 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 Rockbank including apartments and units?
Yes, we service all properties throughout Rockbank, 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 Rockbank.
What causes shower bases to crack and leak in Rockbank homes?
Common causes of shower base damage in Rockbank 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 Rockbank?
Professional shower base repairs in Rockbank 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 Rockbank?
Yes, we repair all types of shower bases in Rockbank 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 Rockbank?
Warning signs that you need shower repairs in Rockbank 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 Rockbank homes?
Shower repair is almost always the better choice for Rockbank 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
Rockbank developed as a rural area before experiencing residential subdivision during the twenty-first century. The suburb forms part of Melbourne's western growth corridor, transitioning from agricultural land to suburban development.
Parts of the Shire of Braybrook's north and south ridings were annexed to Melton as the Rockbank Riding on 24 May 1916, with additions made in 1951. This administrative history reflects the area's gradual incorporation into Melbourne's suburban expansion.
Rockbank is located within the City of Melton local government area. The suburb's position between Melton and Melbourne's established western suburbs places it within an active growth zone experiencing ongoing residential development.
New housing estates have been established throughout Rockbank, attracting families seeking affordable housing within commutable distance of Melbourne. The suburb's development continues with additional residential subdivisions planned and underway.
Transport connections include road access via major arterial roads linking Rockbank to surrounding suburbs and Melbourne's CBD. Future transport infrastructure including potential rail services may enhance connectivity as the area develops.
Community facilities, schools and shopping centres have been established to serve the growing residential population. Parks and recreational facilities provide amenity for residents as the suburb matures.
