Signs you should call a plumber

  • Your water bill has jumped without explanation
  • A tap won’t stop dripping or keeps getting worse
  • Toilet constantly running, hissing, or refilling
  • Damp patches, swelling skirting boards, mould, or peeling paint
  • Wet cupboards, persistent smells, or recurring puddles
  • Water pressure suddenly changes

Fixing a small leak early is usually faster and cheaper than waiting until it causes damage.

Tips to Reduce Water Waste

Before We Arrive (Simple Steps)

  • If safe, turn off the isolation valve to the leaking fixture
  • Use a bucket/towel to protect cupboards and flooring
  • Avoid overtightening taps (it can worsen the leak)
  • If water is pooling or spreading quickly, call us urgently


If the leak is severe or water is pooling, treat it as urgent and call us.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you repair leaking taps, mixers and shower heads?

    Yes — we repair and replace common tap and mixer components. If the fitting is too worn or damaged, we’ll recommend the best replacement option.

  • What causes a tap to keep dripping?

    Often, it’s worn seals or washers, a damaged seat, or a failing cartridge (depending on the tap type). We’ll diagnose the cause and repair it properly to stop repeated dripping.

  • Do you repair running toilets and cisterns?

    Yes — running toilets are usually caused by issues with inlet/outlet valves, seal wear, or incorrect adjustment. We can repair or replace the faulty parts and test everything after.

  • Can you fix leaks under the sink or in cupboards?

    Yes — we commonly repair leaking traps, flexi hoses, valves and connections under sinks and in laundries.

  • Is a dripping tap an emergency?

    Not usually, but it can waste a surprising amount of water and may get worse over time. If you’re seeing water damage, mould, or swelling cabinetry, it’s best to book it in soon.

  • What if I’m not sure where the leak is coming from?

    That’s okay — we can inspect, locate the likely source and explain the options before any work begins.

  • Do you fix water hammer (banging pipes)?

    Yes — we can assess the cause (pressure, loose pipework, faulty valves) and recommend the best solution.
