Shower Leak Repair in Singapore
Shower leak repair starts from $70 at SG QuickFix. A shower that keeps dripping after it is turned off usually has a worn mixer cartridge or washer, and water around the mixer usually means a leaking wall connector or joint. These are traced and repaired in about 30 to 60 minutes, with any part charged separately.

Task guide
When this may be needed
- The shower keeps dripping after it is turned off.
- Water leaks from around the mixer body.
- Water runs down the wall below the mixer.
- The mixer handle leaks when turned.
- The diverter leaks water from the hand shower when using the overhead.
What the team does
The technician checks whether water leaks only when the shower is on, which points to joints and connectors, or all the time, which points to the mixer's internal seal. The mixer's cartridge or washer is replaced where it no longer seals, and leaking wall connectors are resealed. The shower is run on hot and cold and turned off several times to confirm it stops cleanly.

FAQs
A little water in the head can drip for a minute. If it keeps dripping, the mixer's cartridge or washer is worn and isn't sealing.
It could be a concealed pipe or failed waterproofing. That needs a concealed leak investigation under Water Leak Repair.
Often not. Replacing the cartridge or washer usually stops the drip.
