Leak Repair & Regrouting in Joondalup

PrimeSeal Restorations repairs leaking showers and balconies and regrouts tiled wet areas in Joondalup, usually without removing tiles. A typical job is completed in a day and quoted in writing first. There is no travel charge to Joondalup, however far north it is, because we do not price by distance.

Joondalup is newer than most of the areas we work in, built out from the 1980s as a planned centre, and that shapes the work. The failures here are rarely about extreme age. They cluster around the twenty-to-thirty-year mark, when the original silicone and grout in a shower reach the end of their service life together.

The charcoal-tiled shower base on our projects page is exactly that job, and it was carried out here: worn grout renewed across the base and the perimeter joints sealed, with the original tiling kept. The before and after are below.

What we see in Joondalup

A shower built in the late 1980s or the 1990s is typically tiled over a screed on a slab, with a waterproof membrane underneath it. The membrane is often still doing its job. What has gone is the grout and the silicone above it, and that is good news for the owner: it means the repair is usually a surface one rather than a rebuild.

The apartments and townhouses around the city centre add balcony work to the mix. A tiled balcony over living space fails at the perimeter first, where the tiling meets the wall of the building, and that is the joint where water begins tracking inside rather than draining away.

    Charcoal-tiled shower base regrout

    Problem
    Grout across the charcoal-tiled shower base had discoloured and worn back unevenly, darkest around the waste and along the joints where the base meets the walls. The junction itself had no sound sealant left in it: the joint sat open around the full perimeter of the recess, with debris collected along it.
    Solution
    Deteriorated grout was ground out across the base and replaced, and the perimeter junctions where the base meets the walls were sealed, leaving an even finish and a closed joint on all four sides. The work was carried out entirely from the surface: the original tiling was kept and no tiles were removed.
