For homeowners and strata in Sydney’s east
MasterSealed helps Eastern Suburbs owners stop a leaking shower with epoxy regrout, or with a floor retile when the membrane has failed.
You notice a stain on the ceiling under the bathroom, paint bubbling on the wall beside the shower, or water on the floor outside the screen. Cement grout has gone dark. Silicone has lifted at the hob. A previous patch of silicone has not held.
You want the leak stopped and the bathroom usable again, without weeks of demolition if the tiles are still sound.
You want to stop checking the ceiling every time someone showers, especially in an apartment where the unit below is involved.
In a strata building you want a clear repair you can explain to the committee or the neighbour, not an open-ended renovation.
This is the practical cost, not a scare line. Water that keeps moving into plaster, timber or the unit below is more expensive than the repair that stops it.
It does not have to stay like this. The next step is an inspection that says which repair fits, not a quote for a renovation you may not need.
You use the shower again without watching the ceiling. The joints are epoxy, so they do not drink water the way porous cement grout does. If the floor was rebuilt, water falls to the waste and the membrane is under the new tiles. In an apartment, you can tell the neighbour the entry path has been closed, and you have photos of the work.
Empathy: We have spent years on bathroom renovations in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, hands on, and kept hearing the same urgent job: the shower leaks and the owner does not want the whole room demolished.
Authority: The work is tiling and wet-area repair, not a general handyman visit. Regrout, floor rebuild, balcony tiling and full bathroom renovations are all done by the same crew.
Method: We separate a surface-joint leak from a failed floor membrane before we price the job. That is why some showers are epoxy-regrouted with the tiles left in place, and some have the floor and bottom wall rows rebuilt.
MasterSealed is a wet-area tiling repair service for Eastern Suburbs showers and balconies. The mechanism is the inspection: surface water through grout and junctions is stopped with epoxy grout; water that has already passed a failed membrane is stopped by rebuilding the floor, waterproofing it and tiling it again.

| What we do | Which means you can | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Cut out failed cement grout and regrout with epoxy | Keep the existing tiles | A watertight joint without a strip-out |
| Rebuild the shower floor and bottom wall rows | Correct fall and replace a failed membrane | Water goes to the waste, not the ceiling |
| Regrout or retile a balcony | Stop ponding water tracking inside | A balcony that sheds water |
Right for you if you own or manage a home or apartment in the Eastern Suburbs, the shower or balcony is leaking or the grout has failed, and you want the smallest repair that will actually stop the water.
Not the right call if you need a plumber for a burst pipe in the wall, a structural engineer for a cracked slab, or a builder for a room that is being redesigned from scratch and you have not decided on tiles yet. We can still talk about the tiling once the design is set.
