Leaking Shower? We Fix It Permanently —
Without Removing a Single Tile.
Surface Seal Townsville is North Queensland's only specialist applying professional-grade epoxy to leaking showers — no tile removal, no renovation, no disruption. Townsville's tropical humidity and heat accelerate grout failure faster than most climates. We fix it permanently, with a 10-year written warranty, usually within 24–72 hours.
The Smarter Fix Between Re-Grouting and a Full Renovation.
In Townsville's climate, grout and silicone deteriorate faster than almost anywhere else in Australia. The combination of wet season moisture, intense UV, and year-round humidity breaks down the substrate long before the tiles show any sign of damage.
Surface Seal applies a proprietary, roll-on epoxy directly over your existing tiles — no demolition, no retiling. The epoxy penetrates every porous surface and bonds from the inside out, creating a permanent waterproof barrier built to withstand North Queensland conditions.
Once cured, it's fully waterproof — even submersible. The finish is clear and virtually invisible. Your shower looks the same. It just doesn't leak.

It's a Permanent Fix — Not a Patch
Re-grouting treats the surface. Our epoxy bonds directly to the substrate from the inside out — which is why we can back it with a 10-year written warranty instead of hoping for the best. We've seen what keeps failing. We built a fix for it.
Back in your shower within 24–72 hours
No tiles pulled up. No renovation timeline. No weeks without a working bathroom. Most Townsville jobs are complete and handed back within 24–72 hours — the variation depends on bathroom size and scope, which we clarify at assessment.

"Had it re-grouted twice and it kept coming back. Surface Seal assessed it from photos, quoted a fixed price, and fixed it in a day. That was four months ago — completely dry since."— Tanya R., Kirwan
"Investment property in Aitkenvale — tenant moving in within the week. Surface Seal sorted the shower in under 24 hours, left me with a 10-year warranty certificate. Exactly what you need for a rental."— Marcus D., Property Investor, Aitkenvale
"The shower looks exactly the same but hasn't leaked once since they sealed it. Very professional from start to finish. The communication was excellent too — kept me updated the whole way."— Nicole W., Mundingburra
Honest Answers. Plain Language. No Runaround.
My shower was re-grouted and it's still leaking — can you fix it?
Yes — and this is exactly the situation Surface Seal was built for. Re-grouting only treats the surface. If the underlying waterproofing has already failed, new grout won't stop the water — it just delays the problem. Our epoxy bonds from the inside out, reaching the substrate that grout can't touch. That's why it holds permanently where re-grouting keeps failing.
How does epoxy shower sealing work?
We apply a professional-grade epoxy directly over your existing tiles and substrate using a roll-on method. The epoxy penetrates the porous surface — tiles, grout, concrete, limestone — and bonds from the inside out, sealing every micro-gap that water was previously tracking through. Once it cures (24 hours), the seal is permanent and fully waterproof — including submersion.
Can you waterproof a shower without removing the tiles?
Yes — this is the whole point of our service. The epoxy is rolled directly over your existing tiles. No tiles are removed, no demolition, no renovation timeline. Your bathroom stays intact, your household isn't disrupted, and the result is backed by a 10-year warranty.
Does epoxy shower sealing change the look of my tiles?
No — the finish is virtually invisible. The epoxy is clear and bonds to the existing tile surface without any visible residue or colour change. Most customers genuinely can't tell the difference between before and after. The only exception is very matte or highly porous tiles, where there may be a very slight sheen — something we'll flag clearly before starting.
How long does a shower reseal last?
Our epoxy sealing system is backed by a 10-year written product warranty — not because we're guessing, but because the product consistently performs over that timeframe. Unlike re-grouting, which treats only the surface, the epoxy bonds to the substrate from the inside out. It doesn't crack, peel, or absorb water the way cement-based grout does.
How much does leaking shower repair cost in Townsville?
Every shower is different — size, surface condition, and scope all affect the price — which is why we assess from photos before naming a figure. What we can say is that our service sits well below the cost of a retile ($10,000–$30,000+), and unlike a re-grout, it actually resolves the problem permanently. All pricing is fixed and presented before any work begins.
How long do I need to wait before using the shower after a reseal?
24 hours for a single shower reseal. 48–72 hours for a full bathroom. We use heater fans during application to accelerate the curing process. Most customers are back in their shower the following morning with no issues.
