During our years of repairing showers, it has become evident that most common causes of leaks are the following:

• Cracked/decayed grout
• Degraded silicone sealant
• Poor installation of silicone sealant
• Poor installation of shower trays/baths

Degrading of the grout can be a result of:

• Harsh cleaning products
• Harsh cleaning/scrubbing
• General deterioration over time
• Structural movement/house settling
• Poor installation and preparation of the walls and tiles

A severely leaking shower has the potential of causing long term damage to the flooring, adjoining walls and downstairs ceilings.
