Bathroom & Wet Areas in Sunshine
Expert bathroom & wet areas solutions for Sunshine properties. Sunshine homes with original bathrooms frequently show signs of moisture migration: bubbling paint in adjoining rooms, musty smells, and discoloured carpet edges. The compact bathroom layouts typical of the era mean water damage often affects multiple rooms before homeowners realise the shower is the source.

Bathroom & Wet Areas in Sunshine - Frequently Asked Questions
My Sunshine home has a small original bathroom. Is it worth waterproofing or should I just replace it?
We recommend a complete strip and re-waterproof regardless. Even if you plan a larger renovation later, fixing the waterproofing now stops ongoing damage to surrounding rooms. Many Sunshine homeowners combine waterproofing with a layout update to create a more functional bathroom.
How do I know if my shower is leaking?
Common signs include damp patches on adjacent walls, water stains on the ceiling below, loose or cracked tiles, and musty smells in the bathroom.
Can you fix a leaking shower without removing all tiles?
In some cases, yes. We assess whether regrouting and recaulking can resolve the issue. If the membrane has failed, tile removal is necessary for a proper fix.
How long does a bathroom repair take?
A standard shower base repair typically takes 3-5 days including cure times. Full bathroom renovations may take 1-2 weeks.
