A real person answers, day or night
Mornings shouldn't be a plumbing lottery
A shower that runs hot then cold, or barely runs at all, turns a simple morning into a daily annoyance. Ring (02) 9072 0511 and describe exactly what it's doing, and we'll diagnose the actual cause before anything's quoted.
Why showers here often need more than a quick look
Original shower valves from the 1960s-70s build weren't designed for how modern households actually use water
A shower base that's never been properly reassessed can hide a failed membrane underneath
Shower repair services we provide
Whether the actual cause sits at the valve, the fitting itself or somewhere hidden behind the wall, it gets found properly, each of these part of the fuller plumbing lineup this site details:
Leaking screen and seal repairs
A screen letting water past its seal gets properly reassessed, and the fix ranges from a straightforward reseal through to identifying a genuine plumbing cause hiding behind what looks like a sealing problem.
Valve and cartridge servicing
Temperature swings and pressure drops usually trace back to a worn or poorly balanced valve, and servicing or replacing the internal cartridge restores consistent, predictable performance without replacing the whole fitting.
Shower base and waste repairs
A base that's stopped draining properly, or holds a puddle after use, gets checked at the waste and the fall underneath, with a proper fix applied rather than a cosmetic touch-up that leaves the real cause sitting there untouched.
Full valve and fitting replacement
Where an original valve is genuinely beyond servicing, a modern replacement gets fitted and matched to the existing pipework, solving pressure-balance issues an old two-handle system was never built to handle.
Streets where shower faults come up often
Allawah Avenue and Maralinga Avenue both carry a strong share of original ensuites with their first-generation shower valves still in place
Split-level homes on the steeper sections of the ridge see a disproportionate number of shower renovation callouts
Common shower problems we fix
Two issues make up a large share of what brings a shower repair call in:
A valve losing its pressure balance
An ageing valve struggles to hold a steady temperature once another tap draws water elsewhere in the house, and having its internal parts serviced or swapped out brings that balance back properly.
A base that's quietly failing underneath
Slow drainage or pooling water at the base often signals a fault below the visible surface, and identifying whether it's the waste, the fall or the membrane itself determines the right fix.
Why a shower fault is worth sorting promptly
A shower issue rarely stays contained to the shower itself for long:
- Water behind a shower recess travels further than it looks By the time staining or a soft spot appears on an adjoining wall, the damage has usually been building for a considerable while.
- A pressure or temperature fault often gets normalised rather than fixed Households adjust their habits around a fault instead of calling it in, sometimes for years longer than necessary.
- An original valve nearing the end of its life rarely gives much warning Servicing it while it's still functioning avoids the inconvenience of a complete failure at an awkward moment.
How it works
How a shower repair runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0511 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Traced to the actual source
Rather than treating the symptom, the valve, the waste and the surrounding pipework all get checked properly, so the fix addresses whatever's genuinely causing the fault rather than what's easiest to reach.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Elanora Heights
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Elanora Heights works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.

Good questions, straight answers
Shower repair questions from Elanora Heights locals
There's water getting out past the shower screen onto the bathroom floor, is that actually a job for a plumber?
Could be either, and telling the two apart matters, a failed seal is a straightforward reseal while water tracking from inside the wall points to something plumbing actually needs to fix properly.
Why does the water temperature swing when someone flushes a toilet elsewhere in the house?
Pressure balancing inside an older shower valve wasn't designed for that kind of simultaneous draw, and a modern valve largely solves it, worth discussing if it happens often in your home.
Is a leaking shower base always a full retile job?
Not always, sometimes it's a failed waste seal fixable without touching the tiles, though a genuine membrane failure underneath does mean opening the floor properly to fix it for good.
Can an original 1960s shower valve actually be repaired, or does it need full replacement?
Often repaired, internal parts get serviced or swapped where the valve body's still sound, and replacement only gets recommended honestly once the valve itself is genuinely beyond that point.
How fast does a shower leak typically need attention?
Sooner rather than later, water finding its way past a shower recess can damage flooring and framing well before it's obviously visible from the room next door.
Does a small shower repair get the same guarantee as a big bathroom job?
Yes, every repair carries the identical Lifetime Labour Warranty, so a fault that returns gets corrected again at no cost, regardless of the size of the original job.
