Water-damaged ceilings and mould growth are usually the first signs of shower problems. Detecting water leaks from a shower quickly can help prevent structural damage to a property.
Our shower leak detection services can locate leaks concealed beneath floors, behind walls or bath panels without causing damage. Once found, leaks can be repaired quickly to prevent further water damage.
This video shows some of the non-invasive techniques used during a water leak detection investigation.
A methodical “trace and access” approach is used for finding water leaks. In this example, bathroom and shower leak detection was able to rule out a plumbing leak as the source of a damp patch on a ceiling beneath a shower. Attention turned to the roof.
We can find and fix every type of shower leak:
Called emergency in the night due to shower leak which prevented use of toilets (pressurised water system). Leak was stopped in the shower but even better, Mahmoud had the spare part available and was able to fix the shower for good! Very friendly and helpful at all times.

Leak detection engineer was excellent - did a thorough exam that found the issue (and reassured me that the pipes were not at fault courtesy of a clear report) and came back to reseal the shower unit that had caused the issue. Very professional, friendly and polite. This is exactly why I use Aspect because I am always confident that the job has been done properly.

Arrived first thing in the morning to investigate at our leaking shower issue, tested for all potential problems, quickly identified the cause and fixed it within 2 hours. Quick, tidy and polite service.

Gary was able to identify a leak coming from the shower and fix it with minimal intrusion in a friendly and informative manner.

We had a leak from our shower that no one could locate. Previous plumbing companies had advised the whole shower needed replacing in order to find the issue, although as it was in very good condition was reluctant to have to do this. Darren arrived first thing the following morning. After testing to locate the problem he worked to carry out the necessary repairs. A very thorough professional service would highly recommend.

I asked Aspect to investigate a shower leak. Shoaib arrived - about an hour after scheduled - but that was all forgiven as he was brilliant. He was very professional and methodical in his investigation. Once the leak was proven, I got great advice. Would recommend Aspect, and will use their service again.

Can plumbers find hidden leaks?
We have trained, equipped and up-skilled our most experienced plumbers, drainage engineers, and heating engineers in leak detection. Only plumbers with access to a comprehensive range of leak detection techniques, and the knowledge and experience of using them, can be expected to find hidden leaks reliably.
If you have a hidden bathroom leak that needs investigating, you should book a plumbing leak detection expert, rather than a plumber.
How much does it cost for shower leak detection?
Our shower leak detection investigations are charged in half-hour increments, so the cost depends on the time it takes to trace the leak and identify the cause.
Specialist tracer gas is sometimes used to pinpoint leaks, which is charged for, along with any materials used in any repairs undertaken. Surveys are generated while at the site, so there is no additional charge for the report.
What are the risks of ignoring a leak?
There are many reasons why a water leak should not be ignored. Remember, the visible signs of a leak may be hiding bigger problems:

Depending on the type of leak, reinstatement can be covered as part of an “escape of water” insurance claim. We’ll provide a detailed scope of work and a fixed price quote to complete it.
We have specialist tradespeople ready to help with every part of your refurbishment work, including carpenters, plasterers, tilers, painters and decorators.
