Failed Waterproofing Rectification
Bathtub and shower screen removed, failed membrane cut back to sound substrate, waterproofing reinstated, new base formed and frameless screen and bathware installed.
Stop the leak without automatically replacing your whole bathroom. We diagnose the cause, repair what actually needs repairing, and rebuild the shower properly when patch repairs are no longer enough.
A leaking shower doesn't always mean you need a new bathroom. The important part is understanding where the failure is occurring.
Water around the shower, doorway, floor or adjoining room may indicate failed seals, plumbing or waterproofing.
Deteriorated grout and silicone can allow moisture into areas where it shouldn't be.
We determine whether it is an isolated tile issue or evidence of movement or moisture behind the surface.
Swollen skirting, damaged plaster, mould or flooring damage can point to a more significant shower failure.
If surface repairs haven't worked, the underlying shower construction may need to be investigated.
Where the underlying system has failed, we can rebuild the shower area without unnecessarily renovating the whole bathroom.
Our focus is repairing the actual problem rather than automatically recommending a complete bathroom renovation.
You don't need to diagnose the problem yourself. Send us photos of the shower, surrounding floor and any visible water damage and we'll advise you on the most appropriate next step.

“The Kudo homes team took on the task of repairing my shower while most other businesses would only do a full renovation.
The communication, professionalism and quality of the work done is exceptional.
If you need someone who will listen to what you need and deliver then this is the business to go to.”
“Contacted Dennis about what he could help us to get sale ready. The bathrooms was the main project. Dennis made the alterations so easy, quick and on time. Very happy with how it was run and turned out amazing. Defiantly made a difference at auction time.
Would recommend (already have) Dennis for work to get sale ready.
Thanks again Dennis”
