Top reasons to repair your shower, explained.
1. Leaky fixtures are one of the most, if not the most common reason to repair your shower.
All types of plumbing leaks are bad news. Leaks in your shower can cause water damage, add to your water bill and be the cause of mould development and staining in your bathroom. There are two main types of shower leaks, the simple ones; these are commonly caused by worn seals, loose fitting fixtures and hard water build-up. The simple shower leaks are generally a straightforward repair and the Bespoke Shower Repairs team can efficiently get these done within a day or so.
The second type of shower leak is the complicated one. The complicated shower leaks are particularly shower leaks that occur when the shower is turned off. In most cases, this means there are some serious plumbing issues happening behind the scenes, and they need to be addressed immediately.
There are many factors that come into play when it comes to fixing your leaky shower fixtures and sometimes when the damage is excessive, a complete shower replacement is required. Got a leaky shower? Get in touch with the team at Bespoke Shower Repairs and see how they can help your leaky shower.
2. Mould development within your shower and bathroom.
Every day your shower produces a warm, humid environment that supports and promotes bacterial and mould development. You can recognise mould growth in your shower by identifying any black or green spots on the tiles, on the grout or in the fixtures. Mould is ugly and also very dangerous to your health, it can cause serious respiratory problems, rashes and allergies if left untreated.
Mould has the ability to thrive in some very mysterious places within your shower, like behind your bathroom and shower tiles and within your fittings and fixtures. Mould can be eliminated, depending on how serious the case is, you may need to consider some plumbing remodelling.
3. Broken, chipped and damaged tiles in your shower.
Damaged shower tiles are not only aesthetically displeasing, but they also pose a risk of cuts and other injuries to anyone using the shower. Cracked tiles in your shower can also be a gateway for moisture to seep through into your grout and tile, leading to mould and deterioration of the materials in your bathroom. If you identify damaged and chipped tiles early, we can amend the broken tile with caulking and tile replacement before the damage gets worse.
In extreme cases where the damaged tiles are not addressed, extensive issues can develop and can result in a complete shower re-tile or remodel.
4. Broken or damaged shower doors in your bathroom.
Most shower doors are made from treated glass and over the years they may show signs of wear and tear from use. Inevitably over time, your shower door will need to be replaced. If you find that your shower door is leaking water into your bathroom or has difficulty closing, especially when it comes to the sliding shower door design, it’s time to consider a new shower door.
Remember to keep a lookout for any cracks or chips in your shower door glass. At Bespoke Shower Repair we also recommend keeping a lookout for any signs of rust or water damage on your shower door handles and hinges. Never neglect shower door issues for too long, as over time they get worse and you could end up with glass all over your bathroom floor.
5. You don’t like the look of your shower or your shower is outdated.
Popular with the purchase or sale of a property is the renovation and repair of the showers in the bathrooms.
Despite functioning properly, existing outdated showers can have you feeling like it’s 1999 when it comes to shower time. Over time shower fittings lose their sparkle and can become harder to clean. Older shower head models aren’t as aesthetically pleasing or efficient as new up-to-date models. In most cases we recommend updating your shower every ten years, this could be a complete remodel or fixtures and fittings.
