Customer FAQs: Your Top Shower Repair Questions Answered by ShowerFix
At ShowerFix New Zealand, we’ve repaired thousands of showers across homes and rental properties. From broken glass to leaking seals, no two bathrooms are ever the same, but the questions we get from customers usually are.
Here are answers to the most common shower repair FAQs, plus expert advice to keep your bathroom in top shape.
How can I clean my shower glass properly?
The easiest way to keep your glass looking clear is with:
A vinegar and warm water spray (great for cutting through soap scum)
A squeegee after every shower to prevent streaks
A weekly wipe with a microfibre cloth for a polished finish
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, they can scratch the glass and damage protective coatings.

My shower glass has smashed, can you replace it?

Can you repair or replace shower door seals?
Yes, we can. Worn-out door seals are one of the main reasons for shower leaks. We can:
Replace bottom door seals to stop water escaping
Fit new side seals for frameless showers
Check and reseal joints around glass panels
Fresh seals stop leaks, protect flooring, and keep bathrooms safer and drier.
Do you offer full shower replacement?
Sometimes a shower is beyond repair, especially if the waterproofing has failed or the tray is cracked. In these cases, we can organise a full shower replacement.
We’ll handle everything from:
Removing the old shower
Waterproofing and preparing the area
Installing a brand-new, modern shower unit
This gives you peace of mind that your bathroom will last for years without hidden leaks.
How often should I get my shower maintained?
We recommend a quick annual check of:
Seals and grout
Glass panels
Shower doors and rollers
Waterproofing integrity
Preventative maintenance saves thousands in future repairs and keeps tenants and homeowners happy.
What’s the most common shower repair in New Zealand?
From our experience at ShowerFix, the most common issues are:
Shower door repairs (rollers, hinges, alignment)
Glass replacements for cracked or smashed panels
The good news? Most of these can be fixed quickly and affordably.
