Epoxy vs silicone vs cement grout
Silicone peels away from damp surfaces and cement grout absorbs water. Two-part epoxy cures hard, doesn’t soak up water and bonds into the prepared joint, which is why we use it on the floor perimeter, where most showers leak.
Where the epoxy goes
- ✓Floor-to-wall junctions around the whole shower base
- ✓The hob and step-down edges
- ✓Floor joints around the waste
- ✓Wall-to-floor corners where silicone usually fails
Curing and aftercare
The epoxy needs 24 hours of dry curing before normal hot-water use. After that, clean with a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner, and the seals are covered by our lifetime service warranty.
Fixed, upfront pricing
Every package includes the moisture check, thermal imaging and pressure test: $599 for a standard single shower (900×900 or 1000×1000 mm) and $799 for a double or walk-in shower, all-inclusive. See the full pricing or learn more about our leaking shower repairs across the Illawarra.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can epoxy be coloured to match my grout?+
We stock a range of epoxy shades to blend in with your existing tiles. Exact colour-matching can’t be guaranteed because of tile ageing and batch variation.
Is epoxy sealing a full waterproofing job?+
It seals the joints where water gets out without removing tiles. If the leak is from a pipe, we’ll show you the pressure-test result first so a plumber can fix it.
