Shower repair on rental properties has a slightly different calculus. The cost of a preventive reseal is fixed and small; the cost of a water-damage claim, a bond dispute or an insurance excess is not.
The most common time to schedule a shower reseal on a rental is between tenants. The shower can cure without interrupting anyone, and the incoming tenant inherits a clean, sound bathroom.
During tenancies, most repairs can be scheduled through the property manager. Access is coordinated with the tenant and the work is invoiced to the landlord or their trust account.
The two scenarios that come up most often are: mouldy silicone reported by a tenant (usually a full silicone replacement) and 'water damage below' reported by a downstairs neighbour or unit (usually needs a full leak assessment).
For portfolios of multiple properties, a scheduled reseal every 5–7 years per property is a defensible maintenance rhythm.
