A real person answers, day or night
Stop the drip before it ruins the tiles, the ceiling or your weekend
A shower that weeps behind the wall does its worst work quietly, soaking framing and flooring while the bathroom still looks fine. Our shower repairs team finds the true source first, then fixes it with parts matched to the fitting.
Ridge bathrooms above the gully, flat bathrooms below it
- Period houses on the ridge streets Federation and bungalow bathrooms often keep original layouts: set-outs that predate modern mixers, supply runs hidden inside double-brick walls, and drainage falling through sandstone toward the harbour. Repairs there mean matching old pipework, not forcing new fittings onto it.
- Walk-ups and newer blocks through the middle The mid-century flats and 2000s apartments near the Miller Street end lean almost entirely on wall mixers and flexi hoses, connections that wear faster than the tiles around them and fail with little warning.
- A suburb split by the Long Gully Bridge Homes up on the ridge and down toward the foreshore reserves see different pressures and different drainage behaviour, so we diagnose by street level as much as by fitting.
What we fix, done properly
Every repair starts with a proper diagnosis, and every fix is built to last rather than patched to limp along. The general plumbing hub lists the full service range, and the four repairs below cover most of what we pull apart in local bathrooms.
Dripping heads and roses
A shower head that keeps dripping after the water is off usually hides a hardened washer, a degraded O-ring or a seized spindle, and we strip the fitting, fit quality replacements and reassemble it so the drip stays gone.
Wall mixers and cartridges
Weeping wall mixers usually trace to worn internal cartridges rather than the tile itself, so we remove the handle and plate, swap in the matched cartridge and restore smooth temperature control without breaking anything you would then have to repair.
Leaking bases and grout
Water escaping through cracked grout or a failed base travels into framing and downstairs ceilings, so we trace the true source, renew the failed waterproofing elements and reseat the base before quiet damage becomes a very expensive building bill.
Pressure and temperature faults
Showers that surge hot and cold, or dribble under low pressure, point to a failing tempering valve, a partly closed isolation point or corroded supply lines, and we test each cause before fitting the fix that restores steady flow.
Humidity, sea breezes and the local shower calendar
Warm humid summers and the breezes off Middle Harbour keep bathrooms damp long after the towel goes back on the rail, so grout and silicone fail earlier here than most owners expect.
- Mould that keeps returning Bathrooms that vent poorly grow mould back within days of a scrub, which usually means moisture is lingering in the wall cavity rather than sitting on the surface.
- Autumn waste blockages Leaf fall from the mature street trees clogs shower and floor wastes on the leafier streets, turning a fast-draining shower into a shallow puddle overnight.
- The winter reveal The first proper cold snap is when ageing mixers and tempering valves finally show their age, because a season of steady demand exposes what summer never tested.
Timing a repair to the season, rather than to the symptom, often saves a second callout.
Shower problems we see week to week
The shower that drains slowly
Slow drainage usually means soap scum and hair have packed the waste, but in the older homes it can equally mean roots in a clay line outside, and those two causes need genuinely different treatments, so we diagnose before clearing.
The stain that keeps returning
Mould creeping back across a ceiling or paint blistering beside the shower points to a hidden leak in the wall cavity, and moisture testing locates the escape point carefully before a single tile comes off the wall.
The hose that lets go
A burst flexi hose on a shower or basin connection floods fast, which makes it one of the most common after-hours calls in the suburb's renovated apartments, and shutting the isolation valve limits the damage while you ring us.

Diagnose and repair on the spot

Why choose Your Plumber Cammeray
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 Cammeray 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.
Where we work
Areas we service
We cover Crows Nest, Northbridge, North Sydney, Naremburn and Cremorne every day, and because the vans rarely travel far between local jobs, most shower faults are diagnosed and fixed on the very first visit.
Good questions, straight answers
What Cammeray locals ask about shower repairs
How do I know if my shower leak is serious?
Water stains on the ceiling below, tiles lifting, mould returning after cleaning or a musty smell that never clears all suggest water is escaping where it should not be, so book an inspection promptly.
Can you replace a shower mixer cartridge without removing tiles?
In most properly plumbed bathrooms the cartridge sits behind the handle and plate, so we swap it without touching tiles, and we warn you beforehand if your wall is the exception.
Will a dripping shower head really waste much water?
Even a slow drip wastes thousands of litres across a year, and a steady stream wastes far more, so a small repair pays for itself in saved water remarkably quickly.
Do you repair showers in apartments and walk-up flats?
Yes, we work across the local unit stock every week, carrying the cartridges, seals and flexi hoses those buildings need, and we coordinate access so neighbours are barely disturbed.
How much does a shower repair cost?
Every job receives a fixed written price before work begins, so you approve the full amount first, and the call out and assessment cost nothing whether you proceed or not.
Can an old shower be repaired or does it need replacing?
Many older showers respond well to new mixers, reseated bases and fresh waterproofing, so we test what can be saved first and only recommend replacement when the structure itself has failed. --- Alongside shower work we handle tap repairs and mixer cartridges through the house, full bathroom plumbing for renovations, and leak detection when water escapes somewhere you cannot see.
