Shower Rebuilds

Fix loose tiles and broken grout to stabilise the shower and improve everyday use.

Our expertise in shower rebuilds

Aquatech specialises in shower rebuilds and waterproofing in Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast repairing leaks, rot, and water damage from the ground up. We use premium membranes, epoxy grout, and modern finishes to create a watertight, long-lasting shower that looks brand new.

1.

Demolition & Strip-Out

We remove all tiles, wall sheeting, and damaged waterproofing to expose the substrate and identify the cause of leaks or failure.

2.

Plumbing Rough-In

A licensed plumber inspects and replaces necessary tapware, mixers, or drainage components to ensure compliance and long-term performance.

3.

Surface Priming

All surfaces are cleaned, dried, and primed to ensure perfect adhesion for the new waterproofing membrane.

4.

Waterproofing (Two-Coat System)

We apply a dual-coat membrane system to meet AS 3740-2021 standards, sealing all corners, junctions, and wall/floor transitions.

5.

Bedding & Drain Preparation

A new screed (bedding layer) is installed with the correct falls toward the drain and integrated puddle flange for proper water flow.

6.

Precision Tiling

Tiles are laid with premium adhesives for strength and alignment, ensuring a perfect fit and professional finish.

7.

Epoxy Grouting & Silicone Sealing

We finish with Mapei waterproof epoxy grout and flexible silicone seals — providing full waterproofing, durability, and a hygienic surface.

8.

Shower Screen Installation

We install a new custom semi-frameless shower screen for a clean, modern, and fully watertight finish.

9.

Final Inspection & Clean-Up

All work is inspected to ensure compliance and waterproofing integrity. The area is left spotless and ready for use.

Our Shower Rebuild Process

At Aquatech, we don’t just regrout. We rebuild your shower’s waterproof barrier with care and precision.

Signs You Need a Shower Rebuild

Not sure if your shower needs a rebuild? Look for:

Persistent Leaks or Dampness – Persistent Leaks or Dampness

Mould, Mildew, or Odour – Water trapped behind tiles or sheeting.

Cracked or Drummy Tiles – Hollow sounds indicating water beneath tiles.

Rotten or Swollen Wall Sheeting – Signs of waterproofing failure.

Pooling Water – Incorrect fall or blocked puddle flange.

Discoloured or Crumbling Grout – Water penetration through joints.

Failed Shower Screen Seals – Leaks through glass junctions and framing.

Tip: Regular cleaning won’t fix crumbling grout — if it’s deteriorated, it needs to be replaced to prevent deeper damage.
