Shower Recess Retiling Perth

Professional Shower Retiling When Regrouting Is Not Enough

Shower Recess Retiling Specialists in Perth. In many cases, shower regrouting is an effective way to repair leaks and refresh the appearance of tiled showers. However, when underlying issues exist, regrouting alone is no longer enough. In these situations, shower recess retiling provides the most reliable long-term solution.

Shower Solutions Perth offers professional shower recess retiling services across the Perth metropolitan area, specialising in targeted repairs rather than unnecessary full bathroom renovations. Our focus is on correct preparation, compliant waterproofing, and durable workmanship.

When Is Shower Recess Retiling Required?

Shower recess retiling may be recommended when we identify:

Loose, drummy, or hollow tiles
Cracked, lifting, or unstable tiles
Failed or compromised waterproofing membranes
Water damage beneath the tile surface
Structural movement in walls or floors
Ongoing leaks despite previous regrouting or repairs

In these situations, regrouting may only offer temporary improvement and may not resolve the underlying cause of water penetration.

Why Does Your Perth Home Have a Leaking Shower?

All shower recess retiling work completed by Shower Solutions Perth is carried out by fully qualified tilers holding a Certificate III in Wall and Floor Tiling.

To ensure long-term performance, shower recess retiling is completed over approximately one week, allowing each stage of the process to cure correctly. This staged approach significantly reduces the risk of premature failure.

All retiling work is backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty, providing confidence and peace of mind for Perth homeowners and property managers.

New Shower Screen Installation Included

As part of the retiling process, every shower recess retile requires the installation of a new shower screen. Existing shower screens cannot be reliably refitted once new tiles are installed and may compromise waterproofing and sealing.

Installing a new shower screen ensures:

Correct fitment to newly tiled surfaces
Proper sealing and water containment
Reduced risk of future leaks

We can coordinate the supply and installation of a suitable shower screen as part of the project.

How We Retile a Shower Recess

Shower Solutions Perth follows a structured, multi-day retiling process designed to deliver consistent, compliant, and long-lasting results.

Day 1 – Demolition & Old Shower Screen Removal

The existing shower screen, tiles, grout, and fittings are carefully removed to allow full inspection of the substrate.

Day 2 – Wall Rendering, Floor Screeding & Puddle Flange Installation

Walls are rendered and the shower floor is screeded to achieve correct falls to the waste. A puddle flange is installed, creating a critical waterproof connection between the membrane and drainage system.

Day 3 – Waterproofing & Reinforcement

A waterproof membrane is applied throughout the shower recess. Waterproof tape is installed to all corners, junctions, and penetrations.

Day 4 – Shower Floor Tiling

The shower floor is tiled once waterproofing has cured, ensuring correct drainage and alignment.

Day 5 – Wall Tiling

Wall tiles are installed and set to a high standard, completing the tiled shower recess.

Day 6 – Grouting with Waterproofing Additives

The shower recess is grouted using grout mixed with waterproofing additives to enhance moisture resistance.

Day 7 – Final Waterproofing to Grout

A final waterproofing coat is applied to the grout to provide additional protection and extend service life.

Day 8 – New Shower Screen Installation

Once all surfaces have cured, a new shower screen is installed, ensuring correct fitment, sealing, and long-term water containment.
