Justin lives in High Wycombe, in Perth’s eastern suburbs. Like many homeowners, he had been living with a small but nagging problem in his ensuite bathroom. The grout in the shower had seen better days, and there had already been some water getting into the wall. He’d done what he could at first, sealing one section with silicone, but he knew the bathroom needed more proper attention.
So he decided it was time to finally get onto it.
Justin posted a job on ServiceSeeking.com.au, looking for a tiler to regrout the shower in his ensuite. He also mentioned that he had other bathroom jobs that might need doing, and that he was open to finding one tradesperson who could take care of everything.
“I was very pleased with the work done, and relieved that I had finally got on to this,” he later shared.
Justin had used ServiceSeeking before, and overall, his experiences had been positive.
“I have found every time I have used it, at least one business has proactively contacted me. I have never had a bad experience with tradespeople found via ServiceSeeking.”
This time around, he had several jobs listed, including some general plumbing. Interestingly, not every part of the work attracted quotes straight away.
“I was surprised that on this occasion, no plumbing businesses chose to quote for my job. I used my local FB neighbourhood page to find a local plumber.”
But for the regrouting and resealing, ServiceSeeking helped connect him with the right person for the job: Hadi of HDsealed.
HDsealed specialises in regrouting and resealing, as well as floor and wall tiling, bathrooms, showers, screeding, and grouting. For Justin, it wasn’t just about fixing the shower. There was also something meaningful about supporting a small business that felt like it was still growing.
“The young man who undertook the work seems as if he has not been in business for himself for long; I liked that I was able to use his business.”
When Hadi arrived to do the job, it quickly became clear that this wasn’t a quick patch-up. The regrouting turned into a bigger task than a simple touch-up.
“The job probably [was] on the larger size for a shower re-grouting; the entire shower stall with shower walls (up to head height) needed to be regrouted – Hadi was here for 6 hours.”
Over the course of the day, Hadi carefully worked through the whole shower, regrouting and resealing to give the ensuite a proper refresh. Justin noticed not just the end result, but the way the job was handled from start to finish.
“Hadi provided an excellent service from the no obligation quote, through to the completion of the work on time. He was pleasant and polite, and neat and organised with his work. He left the bathroom clean.”
For Justin, those small details mattered. Having someone who showed up on time, worked neatly, and respected his home made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free.
“The price quoted and charged was fair and reasonable.”
The tired, worn grout had been replaced, the shower was properly sealed, and the water ingress issue finally felt resolved. More than that, he had the relief of knowing the job had been done thoroughly.
