A real person answers, day or night
A dripping shower is rarely just cosmetic
What looks like a minor annoyance is often a fixable fault getting worse. Call (02) 9072 0513 and this crew will diagnose it properly rather than leave you living with a drip.
Shower faults trace back to different causes by property age
- A mixer in an original 1950s or 60s bathroom has usually seen years of daily use A cartridge or washer worn down by that use, or internals that have simply corroded, is what usually turns into a persistent drip.
- An ensuite finished as part of a rebuild can still spring a leak early on Rather than wear, the more likely explanation is a waste connection or seal that wasn't quite right from the very first day.
- A partially renovated bathroom might connect a brand-new shower to supply pipework nobody's touched in decades Diagnosing a fault here means tracing well past the visible fitting itself.
Shower repair services we provide
Shower repairs are covered under our wider plumbing range, diagnosed at the actual fault rather than just the symptom.
Mixer and tapware repairs
Shower mixers get opened up and the internal cartridge, washer or seal replaced, bringing back proper temperature control and stopping the drip without swapping the entire fitting in most cases.
Shower base and waste repairs
A leaking waste connection or a cracked, failed shower base gets fixed or swapped out, resolving the drainage fault before it has a chance to damage flooring or the ceiling below.
Leaking shower diagnosis
Where a leak's source isn't obvious, this crew traces it back to the actual fault, whether that's a plumbing fitting, a waste connection or something outside plumbing entirely, before recommending any fix.
Showerhead and hose replacement
Corroded or blocked showerheads and perished flexible hoses get replaced, restoring proper flow and pressure that's often blamed on the water supply when the fitting itself is actually the cause.
Common shower repair problems locally
Most shower repair calls in the suburb come down to one of two things.
- A steady drip nobody's gotten around to actioning The cartridge inside has typically been doing the job since the bathroom was first fitted out, decades ago.
- A shower leaking into the room or ceiling below This gets treated with urgency regardless of the property's age, since the source needs confirming quickly before further damage sets in.
Why a leaking shower shouldn't be left
A shower leak rarely improves on its own, and the consequences build quickly:
- Water reaching a ceiling below causes damage fast Staining, swelling plasterboard and potential mould growth can develop within days of a genuine leak going unaddressed.
- A dripping mixer adds up faster than most households expect Ignored through a full quarter, the drip alone can measurably shift the water bill upward.
- Replacing a worn cartridge on its own is a contained, inexpensive job Wait too long and the surrounding fitting can corrode too, turning a simple swap into a full mixer replacement.

- 01

Why choose Your Plumber Chifley
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Chifley works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Shower fittings closer to the Malabar headland cop a moderate dose of salt-laden wind that showers further inland never see, one reason a coastal-edge property's mixer can wear out sooner.

Good questions, straight answers
Shower repair questions Chifley locals ask
Shower in an original bathroom on Dampier Street has always dripped a little, is that just how old fittings behave?
Not necessarily, a worn cartridge or washer inside the mixer is usually fixable, this crew repairs the actual fitting rather than accepting a drip as simply part of an old home.
Shower in a near-new ensuite already showing a leak, could that be a genuine installation fault?
Possibly, a poorly sealed waste or an incorrectly fitted mixer at construction can cause an early leak, and the actual cause gets confirmed on site rather than written off as ordinary wear and tear.
Is a shower leaking through the ceiling below always a waterproofing problem, not plumbing?
Not always, a failed mixer, waste connection or supply fitting can cause the same symptom, this crew checks the actual plumbing before assuming the waterproofing membrane has failed.
Can a shower mixer be repaired, or does it usually need full replacement?
Often repaired, worn cartridges and washers inside most mixers can be replaced without swapping the whole fitting, though a badly corroded unit sometimes genuinely needs full replacement instead.
How urgent is a leaking shower that's dripping into the room below?
Genuinely urgent, water reaching a ceiling or the room underneath causes damage quickly, this crew treats an active leak like that as priority rather than scheduling it for later.
Does the warranty on a shower repair cover the whole fitting, or just the part that got replaced?
The entire repair is protected under our Lifetime Labour Warranty, beyond just the individual part, so if a fault resurfaces anywhere in that fixed section, the return visit doesn't cost you anything. </content>
