Brisbane's humid subtropical climate is tough on bathroom fixtures, especially fibreglass shower bases that deal with constant temperature changes and moisture. Master Plumber Sean got a call from a homeowner in Everton Hills who noticed water pooling strangely in their shower. They thought the base wasn't draining right. After checking things out, Sean found the real problem: extensive cracking and fractures throughout the fibreglass base, likely sped up by Queensland's extreme heat-cold cycles weakening the material over time. These structural issues meant water was seeping beneath the surface, creating a ticking time bomb for subfloor damage. We recommended immediate replacement to stop moisture from reaching the timber framing below. Book your shower base inspection with S&J Plumbing and Gasfitting before minor cracks turn into major renovations. Our fully stocked vans across Brisbane's Northside mean same-day service when you need it most.
