24/7 Emergency Plumbing across NSW & surrounding suburbs
We are available 24/7
A drip from the shower head and water coming through the wall need different repairs. We investigate the leak, explain what we find and help you work out the next step.
A damp patch outside the bathroom can be hard to trace. Water may be escaping from a tap, a pipe behind the wall, the shower waste or the waterproofing beneath the tiles. The place you see the water is not always where the leak starts.
Anton’s Plumbing & Gas helps Sydney homeowners with leak detection and shower repairs, including plumbing faults, regrouting and waterproofing where needed. Tell us where the water appears and whether it happens during a shower or continues afterwards. We’ll use that information to plan the inspection.
If water is spreading into another room or the ceiling below, stop using the shower and call 0493 824 176. Keep clear of wet electrical fittings and any sagging ceiling.
A shower head that keeps dripping after the taps are off may have a worn washer or mixer cartridge. Water around a fitting can come from a connection, while a concealed pipe leak may show up as damp plaster, swollen skirting or a stain in the room below.
Grout, silicone joints and waterproofing need a different assessment. Replacing a tap won’t fix a failed membrane, and a fresh bead of silicone won’t repair a leaking pipe. We’ll explain what is causing the leak and discuss the appropriate repair, whether that involves plumbing, regrouting, sealing or waterproofing.
The repair scope should be clear before anyone starts removing tiles. If access is needed, we’ll discuss what has to be opened and what reinstatement is included in the proposed work. Our shower leak repair cost guide explains the main cost factors.
If the damage calls for a broader shower rebuild, see Anton’s Renovations’ shower-base repair guide for the repair-versus-rebuild considerations.
Give us a call on 0493 824 176 or request a booking. Include your suburb, a short description of the leak and whether the property is a house, townhouse or apartment.
For an apartment, let us know if a neighbour’s property is affected and whether your strata manager needs to arrange access. For urgent flooding or a burst pipe, use our emergency plumbing service.

Some tap, mixer and accessible connection repairs can be completed without removing tiles. Concealed pipework or damaged waterproofing may need access. That decision follows an inspection; it can’t be promised from a photo alone.
A little water can drain from the head after use. A drip that continues may point to a washer, cartridge or valve problem. Tell us how long it lasts and whether the taps or mixer close normally.
Yes. We can investigate suspected plumbing leaks and discuss the testing or access needed. A visible stain alone does not establish whether the source is pipework, drainage or waterproofing.
Only if the fault is one that regrouting can address. It will not fix a leaking water pipe or replace a failed waterproofing membrane. Have the source assessed before choosing the repair.
The cause, access, replacement parts and extent of damage all matter. Ask whether the quote includes testing, plumbing repairs and any work needed to reinstate opened surfaces.
If water is escaping into walls, floors or the room below, stop using that shower. Call us to discuss what you have noticed and how urgently it needs attention.
We can assist with shower plumbing faults in apartments. Tell us who is arranging the work and whether access to another lot or a common area may be needed.
