Common shower repairs situations
- Leaking showers, dripping controls, waste leaks, poor flow, temperature problems or water marks below bathrooms.
- Showers that leak only during use, suggesting waste/seal/control/pipework investigation.
- Bathroom leaks where access and making-good need careful planning.
How All Hours handles the callout
- We ask whether the leak happens only when the shower is used, constantly, or from the control/waste area.
- Photos of the shower, controls, tray/bath edge and ceiling below can help before attendance.
- The engineer checks accessible plumbing, waste, seals and controls before recommending repair or access work.
- Where tiling, hidden valves or making-good are involved, that is explained before destructive work.
When to call now
Call now if water appears below the shower, the leak is active, the shower cannot be isolated, or ceiling or floor damage is spreading. Stop using the shower until the source has been checked.
What can usually happen on the first visit
Accessible plumbing, waste, seals and controls are checked before recommending replacement, access work or follow-up investigation.
What may need follow-up
Hidden valves, tiled-in pipework, replacement showers, tiling or making-good may need phased work and separate agreement.
Safe first steps before you call
- Stop using the shower if a ceiling or floor is getting wet.
- Isolate the water if safe and necessary.
- Avoid cutting access holes before the likely source is discussed.
What this problem is often confused with
- A shower leak can be sealant, screen, waste, valve body, pipework or tile/grout related.
- Low flow may be a valve, filter, pump, pressure or wider plumbing issue.
- A drip from controls may not explain a leak showing below only during use.
When this may need a different next step
- Full bathroom refurbishment, tiling and decorative reinstatement may need separate trades.
What to tell us before arrival
- Stop using the shower if water appears below.
- Send photos of controls, tray/bath edge, waste and ceiling marks.
- Say whether the leak is constant or only during use.

Direct answers about shower repairs
Quick answers to common questions before you call.
Can you repair a leaking shower?
Yes, where the plumbing fault is accessible and suitable for repair. Hidden leaks may need access planning.
Why does the ceiling leak only after a shower?
It may be the waste, sealant, screen, valve body, pipework or tiled area. Timing helps diagnosis.
Should I keep using the shower?
No, not if water is appearing below or around the shower. Stop using it and call for advice.
