What Does Shower Repair Cost in Melbourne?

We won't publish a fake headline price. Here's what actually drives the number.

We don't publish a fixed shower repair price because there isn't one. Every shower is a different combination of size, condition, materials and scope — and quoting from a headline number tends to end in a bad experience for one party or the other.

What we can do is explain what drives the price. The four biggest factors are: scope (silicone only, grout only, full reseal, or larger), size (a standard 900mm cubicle is much less work than a walk-in), condition (worse condition means more preparation time), and tile type (large-format tiles with narrow joints are more time-consuming than standard).

The reason we ask for photos is that they let us give you a real quote rather than a placeholder. In most cases we can quote within a useful range from photos alone; onsite confirmation nails it down.

As a comparison point: full bathroom renovations in Melbourne generally start around $20,000 and go up. A repair scope — however defined — is a fraction of that, and often extends the life of an otherwise-sound bathroom by years.

The one commitment we make on pricing: no work starts until you have a written scope and quote you have approved. If we uncover something during the job that changes the scope, we stop and re-quote.
