Tiling repair needed ! Perth

[vmmg1992]

My bathroom was renovated a couple of years ago. The shower was not grouted properly, or the right grout hasn't been used which is causing water to leak through the wall and onto the bedroom next door.

Can anyone recommend a tiler? Looking for an honest tiler that can pin point the real issue, it should be a 1-2 hour job hopefully.

Sounds like a waterproofing issue if water is penetrating walls. If it was just a grout issue the waterproof would be doing its job.

Be prepared for some bad news.

Who knows.. just want someone to check it out and provide a decent quote. Its just one side if the shower, may have to retile but hoping thats not the case.

Don't waste time with a tiler.

Ring Auswest Coatings or similar. Is it in a corner of tiling? May just need caulking/silicone. If not be prepared to be sealing tiles every 6-12 months or bite the bullet and remove tiles and waterproof properly and retile.

Are you 100% certain it isn't a leaking plumbing pipe?

Yes definitely not plumbing, showerhead is attached to exterior wall. My dad did the tiling, which explains why it wasnt done properly.
