Shower Installation & Repair FAQs

How do I know if my shower needs repair or full replacement?

In many cases, minor leaks or seal failures can be repaired effectively. However, if there is structural damage, recurring leaks, failed waterproofing or a cracked base, a full acrylic installation may be the safer long-term option.

We assess the condition of your shower and provide clear advice based on what will deliver lasting results.

How long does a new acrylic shower installation take?

A typical acrylic shower installation is completed within 1–2 days, depending on the existing condition and preparation required.

We aim to minimise disruption while ensuring a professional, watertight finish.

Do you provide quotes before starting work?

Yes. We offer free, no-obligation assessments so you can understand the issue, available options and expected costs before committing to any work.

Can you fix a leaking shower without removing tiles?

In some cases, yes. Certain leaks can be resolved through resealing or targeted repairs. However, if the waterproof membrane behind the tiles has failed, more extensive work may be required.

We will always explain the most practical and cost-effective approach.

Is an acrylic shower better than tiled walls?
