Plumbing repairs in your area

If the tap is otherwise sound, a new washer or cartridge usually fixes a drip. If the body is corroded, scaled or the spares are unavailable, replacement is better. We tell you which applies once we have looked.

Usually a worn flush valve seal or a float that is set too high lets water leak slowly from the cistern into the pan. The cistern tops itself up. Replacing the seal or adjusting the float normally cures it.

Sometimes. Where the pipe is accessible from below or through an inspection point, we can avoid disturbing the floor. If it is not, we plan a small, neat opening and tell you what to expect.

It can be. Blocked shower heads, scaled cartridges, partly closed valves and pump faults are all repair jobs. We check the simple causes first so you only pay for what is actually wrong.

Isolate the fitting if it has its own valve, or turn off the stopcock if it does not. Place a bowl or towel under the leak and take a photo of the fault.

The type of fitting, how old it is if you know, where exactly the water appears and when it started. A photo and the make on the fitting help us bring the right part.

Worn washers and seals, loosened joints, limescale and corrosion are the usual causes. Hard water speeds up wear on valves and cartridges across this part of Surrey.
