Christchurch Leaking Tiled Shower Repairs

Leaking tiled shower repairs are a real issue in NZ and something we get contacted about regularly. Poor workmanship, design, waterproofing, drainage, adhesives and grouts are all contributing factors to the problem.

Common signs that your shower is leaking include a musty smell, mould growth, loose tiles, water staining, missing grout, swollen plaster board or skirtings.

Leaking tiled showers can cause serious damage to the structural elements of your building. If ignored the repair bill could run into the tens of thousands and result in a complete rip out and redo.

If you require repairs to your tiled shower, Project Wetroom can investigate, report and provide the most effective repair methodology to remedy the leak. We can advise whether repairing your shower is the best option or if a complete refit is required.

It’s important to talk to the experts at the first sign of a leaking tiled shower to avoid the problems mentioned above from happening in your bathroom or wet room.

With our experience across a wide range of residential bathroom projects, we will help advise you on complex repair decisions such as tiled showers. Our experience in this area means we can tackle most residential bathrooms, wet rooms, tiled showers & walk in showers in Christchurch and the wider Canterbury area.

Yes, all our quotes are fixed price to offer you peace of mind. If any estimates are given then this would be in relation to fixtures & fittings only. The total build including plumbing, electrical, plaster/paint, tiling/floor coverings is always a fixed price.
u

Will i need building consent?

If you are increasing the amount of sanitary fixtures then you will need Full Consent. Installation of a tiled shower when the existing is not, will also require Consent. However if you have a concrete floor then you may qualify for Consent Exemption if it is suitable which is considerably cheaper. Wetrooms with Vinyl as the floor covering may also qualify for Council Exemption.

I have an awkward shaped bathroom, what is possible?

We offer a free consultation/quotation and site visit. Being highly experienced with custom bathroom solutions for difficult areas we will be able to quickly establish what the possible options are and explain your options to you.
u

What should my budget be?

This is always very difficult to estimate as there are certain factors that can change things considerably. Age of the property, consent requirements, size, fixtures & fittings, plumbing, electrical, extent of tiling etc.

Full bathroom/wetroom renovations can cost anywhere from $25 to $60K+. To be at the lower end of this budget your home would have ideally been built in the 90’s or later and the choice of fixtures & fittings to be of an average standard. If you wish to install a wet area shower only and leave remainder of bathroom as is? Then a budget of $12 to $17K is realistic, however once again, it is dependent on the same factors mentioned above.

u
