Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a shower base repair take in Taylors Lakes?
Most shower base repairs in Taylors Lakes 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 Taylors Lakes?
A shower repair in Taylors Lakes 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 Taylors Lakes?
Yes, we specialise in repairing cracked shower bases in Taylors Lakes 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 Taylors Lakes?
Shower base repairs in Taylors Lakes 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 Taylors Lakes including apartments and units?
Yes, we service all properties throughout Taylors Lakes, 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 Taylors Lakes.
What causes shower bases to crack and leak in Taylors Lakes homes?
Common causes of shower base damage in Taylors Lakes 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 Taylors Lakes?
Professional shower base repairs in Taylors Lakes 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 Taylors Lakes?
Yes, we repair all types of shower bases in Taylors Lakes 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 Taylors Lakes?
Warning signs that you need shower repairs in Taylors Lakes 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 Taylors Lakes homes?
Shower repair is almost always the better choice for Taylors Lakes 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
Taylors Lakes is bounded by the Calder Freeway in the north, Overnewton Road and Taylors Creek in the east, Lady Nelson Way in the south and the Bendigo railway line in the west. The suburb is mostly composed of developments dating from the 1990s, with Taylors Lakes Post Office opening on 18 August 1994.
One of Keilor's earliest settlers was Scottish immigrant William Taylor, who built the Overnewton homestead in 1849. Taylors Creek was named after him, which in turn gives the name of the suburb. The 2021 Census recorded 16,910 residents.
The suburb is serviced by trains on the Sunbury line, with many services terminating at Watergardens station. Connecting bus services link to local areas. In 2007, a Victorian Department of Infrastructure survey revealed the Sydenham line registered the biggest increase in passenger numbers, up 25 percent. The Victorian Government has planned additional tracks on the service.
Taylors Creek Trail runs along Taylors Creek and provides ready access to Watergardens Town Centre and Watergardens station. The suburb has two commercial shopping centres: Taylors Lakes Shopping Centre with a Woolworths Supermarket, Fresh Food Market and 20 specialty stores; and Watergardens Town Centre, which is significantly larger in trading area.
Telephone services are provided through Telstra-owned Sydenham and Taylors Lakes telephone exchanges. Electricity is provided by Powercor-owned St Albans zone substation. The suburb contains schools, parks, gardens, sports grounds and kindergartens serving the residential community.
