Leak Repair & Regrouting in Fremantle

The older cottages generally have a bathroom added long after the house was built, often in a lean-to or a converted room, with tiling over timber or over a patched floor. That substrate moves, and grout cracks along the lines where two different structures meet. Replacing the grout and silicone properly usually solves it without touching a tile.

Warehouse conversions and apartments bring tiled balconies and courtyards over occupied space, where a failed perimeter seal becomes someone else’s ceiling. The coastal exposure does not help: wind-driven rain finds any joint that has opened up, and west-facing balconies take the worst of it year after year.
