Mish Nan
Extremely happy with the showerman for the upgrade of our bathroom. We had issues with moisture seeping through our bathroom walls, causing moisture in our bathroom walls, rotting of the wood & bathroom floors. Eros and his team were so punctual, completed the job on time & exceeded our expectations. Amanda was so patient with our questions, very prompt with our emails & even answered questions when she was away on holiday! Yong the tiler was so professional. He was so meticulous & always turned up on time. Thank you so much for our beautiful shower. Would highly recommend
Geela Chee
We are very happy with our new shower, it looks great, and more importantly after using it several times the leak is definitely gone. They are very professional and thorough. Highly recommend them. Thank you Amanda, Yong and the team! Thank you ShowerMan!
Dean Woolf
Very impressed with the quality of work and the ease of the completion of the whole project. It was done on time and on budget, even when some unexpected extra previous damage was found. Having their workers all in house meant it was all well coordinated with minimal downtime and they were in contact to say when they would be arriving each day. Highly recommend.
Matthew Coles (Matt)
Previous owners never waterproofed bathroom so our shower floor had rotted away with significant damage. The Shower Man not only rejoisted and rebuilt the floor and wall, but also followed the proper processes to waterproof the entire bathroom and give us a really nice total renovation. Very Happy!
Rehgan De Mather
We are so glad we found The Shower Man Melbourne after discovering a leak in our bathroom. Their initial detailed report was a game-changer, allowing us to make an informed decision rather than guessing at the problem. While we ultimately chose to replace the bathrooms, the team made the entire renovation process seamless from end to end. Their pricing was highly competitive, and the service was top-notch. They kept us informed at every stage, and the craftsmanship on the final outcome is excellent. If you need a reliable team for bathroom repairs or full renovations in Melbourne, I highly recommend them!
Helen Weston
As a returning customer of The Showerman, it was very pleasing to find that I received the same level of professional service that I had received over 10 years ago. Amanda went over and above to organise my job, and Erol did a fantastic job on the shower recess. Many thanks Helen
Jen Patterson
Very happy with the service provided by the Shower Man team. Amanda was so helpful when sorting through the quote and helping me to make decisions around tiles etc. All of the trades were polite and professional. They communicated well about next steps and always cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day. They were thorough and detail-oriented and it resulted in a fantastic ensuite renovation. I would recommend them to anyone.

If you need a small or larger repair/renovation to your bathroom this is the company! So approachable and professional. An immaculate attention to detail. A great team who work quietly and efficiently to complete an excellent outcome in a timely manner.

To Amanda, Erol, Yung, Josh and Chris.. thankyou for the excellent communication and a wonderful new shower. All aspects of the project were carried out to the highest standards and no shortcuts were taken. Very highly recommended 10/10.
Nicholas Graham
We got a shower diagnostic report completed and overall the service was very good. Amanda was prompt, communicated clearly and produced a well-structured report that clearly outlined which waterproofing standards were met and which were not.
Cath Anderson
I cannot recommend this team enough. From the initial consultation booking with Amanda, to quotes, booking the job, choosing tiles and bathroom layout, starting the job on time, completing the job on time, quality workmanship, attention to detail, cleaning up, communication everyday as to arrival time and the result is stunning. We are going to have a bathroom party to celebrate 🍾 Outside of this, every staff member was professional, polite, respectful and friendly. This project came at a particularly difficult few weeks of my life with my brother passing away. I was worried how I would manage with tradies in the house when I just wanted to hide from the world and grieve. Well they were so caring and respectful it was actually comforting having them around.They even gave me a beautiful bunch of flowers 💐 and offered lots of kind words and offers of support above and beyond what you would expect. Thank-you Shower Man team, we are thrilled with the result and also the renovation experience with your team. All the very best 🙏

Long overdue review, but still wanted to share my feedback! Last November we contacted the Shower Man to get our bathroom assessed for a renovation. They came and assessed our bathroom, and had an available slot for us in just a few short weeks ahead. We went to the showroom and had excellent support in picking our design and ideas. Then once the works started the whole renovation process was completed in about 9-10 days and we are super happy with how it turned out. Could not recommend these guys enough!
Why The Shower Man
Why You'd Be Taking a Risk Going Anywhere Else
We're a family-owned leaking shower and bathroom renovation specialist based in Pakenham. A leaking shower isn't the kind of job you gamble on. If it gets fixed wrong the first time, the water damage keeps going.
Marked vans
Never a plain ute. GPS-tracked.
Pakenham showroom
7A Exchange Dr. By appt. only.
In-house team
Never subcontracted.
10-year warranty
Waterproofed. Tiled. Warrantied.
A real business with a bricks-and-mortar showroom and warehouse at 7A Exchange Drive, Pakenham, by appointment only.
We've been operating under this name since 2010, which makes us one of the few in Melbourne who was around fifteen years ago and is still here today.
A person. Our office team answers the landline in Pakenham.
Not a mobile number that's going to be disconnected the day your job's finished.
Every shower we rebuild comes with a 10-year waterproofing warranty in writing.
We only offer work we can stand behind. That's also why we don't offer re-sealing or re-grouting. They don't fix leaks, they mask them.
No. Every trade on your job is on our payroll.
Our plumbers are licensed and registered, our carpenters are qualified, and our tilers all have at least 5 years' professional experience beyond their apprenticeship.
Everyone is police-checked and drug-tested before setting foot in a client's home.
Most operators fixing leaking showers in Melbourne fall into one of three types: handymen doing shower work on the side, one-man operators who subcontract every trade out, or businesses that advertise the full spread because they're not specialists in any single one of them.
We only do shower rebuilds and bathroom renovations. We do them one way, properly, to AS 3740 and the National Construction Code, with our own team.
If anything needs looking at, we're still at the same Pakenham address, on the same landline, with the same people.
Not a mobile number that's been disconnected or passed on twice. Every rebuild carries a 10-year written waterproofing warranty.

Most people fixing leaking showers in Melbourne fall into one of three buckets. On paper they can look similar. In your bathroom, in five years' time, they're not the same choice at all.

| Warranty | Handshake, if that. | 12 months if you're lucky. Verbal only. | 10-year written waterproofing warranty. Every rebuild. |

| Insurance | Rarely. Won't provide a certificate of currency. | Basic PL, subcontractors often not covered. | $10M+ public liability. WorkCover. Every trade covered. |
| Recourse if it fails | None practical. | Trades blame each other. No single point of accountability. | One business. One warranty. Same address, same phone. |

The Proper Fix
Why Re-Sealing & Re-Grouting
Won't Fix a Leaking Shower
Re-sealing and re-grouting might look like a fix, but they only touch the surface. The hidden water damage, the rotten framing, the failed waterproofing underneath? Still there. Still getting worse. Why pay twice when you can fix it properly the first time?
What most trades sell you
Band-Aid Re-Seal or Re-Grout
- Surface-level only: It only touches the grout, leaving the rotten timber/framing underneath untouched.
- A temporary mask: Usually fails within 6 to 12 months.
- Money down the drain: You pay for a band-aid now, and a proper fix later.
- Mould keeps coming back: Because the trapped moisture inside the wall never actually leaves.
The only fix we offer
Full Shower Rebuild
- Stripped back to the studs: We fix any hidden water damage or rotten framing before it spreads.
- Brand new waterproof system: A seamless, modern membrane that meets all current building standards.
- Built to last: Professionally re-tiled with correct drainage so water actually goes down the drain.
- Guaranteed peace of mind: Backed by our rock-solid 10-year written warranty.
The Shower Man visual assessment
Stop guessing.Plan your shower rebuild before you pay for the wrong fix.

Shower Assessment& Rectification Quote
specialist visit
The $159 fee is paid in full online to secure your booking.
Professional Shower Assessment & Rectification Quote – $159 includes a visual assessment, consultation and a quotation outlining proposed rectification works.
For customers considering engaging us for professional rebuilding or rectification works.
What happens during the visit
Accessible-area visual assessment
We look at visible signs and construction concerns; we do not trace leaks or conduct diagnostic testing.
Visible waterproofing concerns
We discuss visible warning signs without opening surfaces or confirming hidden waterproofing or structural conditions.
The recommended scope
We identify the work that may be needed, so you can avoid choosing a trial-and-error repair.
Rectification quotation
You receive a quotation for proposed rectification works, not a formal inspection, insurance or legal report.
Why we don’t offer “free quotes”
The visit allows time to discuss your project and visually assess accessible areas. It cannot establish a leak source or confirm concealed conditions.For a leaking shower or signs of waterproofing failure or non-compliant construction, our minimum rectification service is a complete shower rebuild.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does The Shower Man Melbourne use sub-contractors?
All work is performed in-house directly by the Shower Man Melbourne team, with the exception of asbestos removal and electrical, which is outsourced as we are not qualified to complete electrical work or removal of asbestos-containing material. All of our team are permanent employees, not subcontractors.
This allows us to provide complete control over the entire customer experience as we have a team we can rely on.
Our team has completed safety training and has current product applications and knowledge.
Our team is trained in our procedures and processes, ensuring consistency across every aspect of our work.
We would never risk the quality of our client’s project or risk an insurance liability to our clients by using subcontractors to complete our projects.
Can The Shower Man Melbourne provide me with a quote over the phone or via email?
To recommend the right fix, we need to inspect your shower in person. Every shower is different: different construction, sizes, substrates and access. A genuine scope of work can only come from a proper on-site look.
For customers considering shower rebuilding or rectification works, our visit includes a visual assessment of accessible areas, consultation and a quotation outlining proposed rectification works. It excludes leak detection, diagnostic testing, invasive investigations and written inspection reports.
For a wider bathroom project, book the $299 Bathroom Renovation Consultation. It covers your brief, measurements, layout and wet-area review, pathway guidance, and a fixed-price scope after the design and inclusions are defined.
Both appointments use the same booking form, where you select the named appointment that suits your project. The $299 fee is credited against the renovation when you proceed. That renovation credit is not a cash refund or an automatically free appointment.
The reason we charge for the assessment is simple: it means our clients who go ahead aren't subsidising the cost of endless free quotes for people who never intend to book work. It also means the assessment is thorough and honest, not a rushed sales pitch.
Does The Shower Man Melbourne offer a guarantee or warranty?
The Shower Man Melbourne provides a full 10- Year warranty on all re-tiling works.
Our No Risk, Exclusive Shower Man Melbourne 10 Point Guarantee.
Can The Shower Man Melbourne offer me a permanent solution to fix my leaking shower?
The Shower Man Melbourne can fix your leaking shower permanently when re-tiling.
The Shower Man Melbourne provides a 10-year waterproofing warranty.
Unfortunately, re-grouting and re-sealing with epoxy and injectables will not provide a permanent solution. We would not offer a warranty on something knowing we could not stand by it.
If grouting has failed or a shower is leaking, this is almost always caused by the shower waterproofing failing or the workmanship of the initial shower construction.
When a shower is properly waterproofed per AS-3740-2010, Waterproofing of Domestic areas, and tiled per AS 3958.1—1991 Installation of Ceramic Tiles, it will not fail under normal circumstances. Grout should not deteriorate, and tiles should never crack or leak.
Grout deterioration and leakage are symptoms of a poorly built shower.

How We Behave Inside Your Home
Our Red Carpet Service
Most trades treat your bathroom like a worksite. We treat it like a room in someone's home, because it is one. Before anyone joins us on site they go through intensive in-house training: written quizzes, spot checks, and daily practice against a documented standard.
"We treat our clients with the utmost respect and work on their bathrooms as we would our own. Every touch point with the client needs to be positive."
On Time, All the Time
We respect your time. We arrive when we said we would. The van is tracked, arrival is confirmed, and if anything shifts you hear from us before you hear it from the clock.
Protect the Home First
Dropsheets from your front door through to the bathroom every day. No walking across the lawn; we use the pathway. Bathtubs and finished surfaces get shielded. Your home stays your home while we're working in it.
Work Clean, End Clean
Work areas vacuumed and wiped at the end of every day. All rubbish, boxes, and materials leave with us. Festool M-class dust extraction, no skip bin on your nature strip.
Keep You in the Loop
You hear from us at every step. What's happening today. What's next. Photos from site. If something changes, you know before it becomes a problem.
No Problems Made Yours
If something goes sideways, we solve it. We don't turn up with a problem for you to fix. Every trade on site is on our payroll, so nobody's blaming the other guy. The buck stops with us.
Rewarded, Not Told
Every month we run an internal competition: the best client review wins the month. Above-award pay, real professional development, and team trips overseas. Our people look after you because they want to be here.
Read hundreds of homeowners talking about exactly this experience on our Google reviews. It's not a marketing line. It's the standard we hire, train, and measure against every day.

Erol left school at 16 and picked up his first tiling job. 35+ years later, he's still on the tools. Melbourne homes are still built with the same shortcuts that started this business.
The Shower Man began in a garage in 2010 after Erol saw too many showers being rebuilt the wrong way. Amanda ran the office. He ran the trade.
15+ years on we've got a factory, a showroom, a payroll team, and the same one landline that we started with.
