A shower problem rarely fixes itself, and it rarely stays small
A shower gets used every day, so a small fault does not stay quiet for long. A drip that will not stop, pressure that has dropped off, or a damp patch appearing on the ceiling below are all signs worth acting on before they turn into a bigger repair bill.
Common shower problems we get called out for around Bayswater:
- Leaking shower from a worn mixer cartridge
- Water showing up on the ceiling below or an adjoining wall
- Shower arm or outlet seals that have perished
- Low pressure from a blocked head or failing cartridge
- A mixer that has gone stiff, drips, or will not shut off
- Old shower head or rail that needs replacing
When a leak is showing up somewhere other than the shower itself, the wet patch is almost never right under the fault. That is why we trace the source first rather than opening up a wall or ceiling on a hunch.
Diagnosed properly, repaired properly, or installed to last
Whether it is a leak, low pressure, or a full new shower, the job starts with working out what is actually going on. Low shower pressure, for example, can be a scaled up head, a mixer cartridge that has partly failed, or a pressure issue back at the meter. We diagnose which one it is instead of swapping parts and hoping.
For repairs, that usually means a new mixer cartridge, resealing a shower arm or outlet, or replacing a tired head and rail. For a new shower as part of a bathroom renovation, we come in at the right stage and work alongside the tiler and waterproofer so the rough-in, waterproofing, and fit-off all happen in the correct order.
- Leaks traced to the source before we open anything up
- Mixer cartridge, diverter, head and rail replacement
- Low pressure diagnosed, not guessed
- New shower installs sequenced with the tiler and waterproofer
- Upfront pricing, no surprises on the day
Showers are part of our everyday home plumbing work, and we often sort a leaking shower and a dripping tap in the same visit. Doing a bigger job? See our bathroom renovations service.

Over 160 5-Star reviews from eastern suburbs homeownersLocal to Bayswater, and we find the fault before we fix it
McPherson Plumbing is based in Bayswater North and repairs and installs showers across Melbourne's eastern suburbs, including Knox, Boronia, Heathmont, Wantirna, Ringwood, and surrounding areas.
A shower fault is not always where the wet patch is, and low pressure is not always the head. We take the time to work out what is actually causing the problem, so the repair fixes it the first time rather than chasing symptoms. For new showers, we know how to sequence the plumbing around the waterproofer and tiler so the finished job stays watertight.
We quote before we start and give you honest advice on whether a repair or a replacement is the better call. No upsell.

Leaks traced to the source before we open anything upShower Repair & Installation FAQs
A shower leaking onto the ceiling below or an adjoining wall usually comes down to a worn mixer cartridge, a failed shower arm or outlet seal, or water getting past the waterproofing. Because the wet stain rarely sits directly under the actual fault, we trace the source first rather than opening up walls or ceilings on a guess. That means less mess and a repair aimed at the real cause.
It depends on the fault. A worn mixer cartridge, a new shower head, or a reseal is a straightforward job we can usually price over the phone once we know what is going on. Leaks that need tracing or work behind the wall we quote after we have found the source. Either way you get an upfront price before we start, with no surprises on the day.
Low shower pressure is usually one of three things: a blocked or scaled shower head, a mixer cartridge that has partially failed, or a pressure issue back at the meter or a regulator. We diagnose which one it is rather than guessing, so you are not paying to replace parts that were never the problem.
Yes. A dripping or stiff mixer is often a worn cartridge, which we can replace without changing the whole tapware. If the mixer body or diverter itself is past it, we can swap it for a new one. We will tell you which option makes sense rather than replacing more than the job needs.
We do. We handle the plumbing side of a new shower and come in at the right stage to work alongside the waterproofer and tiler, so the rough-in, waterproofing, and fit-off all happen in the correct order. Getting the sequence right is what keeps a new shower watertight for the long run.
