Shower Leak Detection & Bathroom Plumbing Repairs

Not every leaking shower means failed waterproofing. In many Gold Coast homes, the problem can come from worn shower mixers, leaking tapware, faulty shower heads, damaged hose connections or plumbing fittings behind the wall.

Blackjade Plumbing can inspect your shower and bathroom plumbing, pressure test where required, and help identify whether the issue is plumbing-related or likely caused by a waterproofing membrane fault. If the problem sits outside our plumbing scope, we’ll explain it clearly and point you in the right direction.

We also assist with related plumbing issues, including leaking taps, toilet repairs, blocked toilets, and fast-response emergency plumbing services across the Gold Coast.

Shower Leak Advice for Gold Coast Homes
