FINDING THE CAUSE
What Do We Check When Your Plumbing Goes Wrong?
A running toilet or dripping tap does not always mean the whole fitting needs replacing. We inspect the reported problem and the relevant connections, valves and components before recommending a repair or replacement.
- Toilet fill and flush mechanisms
- Ball valves, overflows and signs of leaks
- Tap and shower cartridges, washers and seals
- Stopcocks and isolation valve operation
- Pipe joints, flexible hoses and connections
- Waste fittings, traps and drainage from fittings
The checks depend on the fitting, access and symptoms. If we need to open up an area to reach concealed pipework, we explain the access and any making good before the work is agreed.
BEFORE YOU CONTACT US
Help Us Understand Your Plumbing Job
A few details help us prepare for your visit and check which fittings or parts may be needed.
- Your address and postcode or What3Words
- The fitting or appliance make, if known
- A clear photo of the fitting or leak
- What is leaking or not working properly
- When it started, or what you want installed
For an active leak, turn off the water at the stopcock if you can reach and operate it safely. Keep clear of water near electrical fittings and tell us whether you have managed to isolate the supply.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT NEXT STEP
Repair Your Plumbing Or Fit Something New?
We explain whether an existing fitting can be repaired or whether replacement would be more practical. Planning a larger project? Explore our bathroom renovation services. For boiler faults or loss of heating, see our boiler repairs and heating breakdowns page.
Repair The Existing Fitting
A repair may be suitable when the fitting is in reasonable condition and the right replacement component is available. That could mean changing a washer, cartridge, valve, seal or waste fitting.
- Identify and address the specific fault
- Check suitable spare parts and repair cost
- Test operation after the agreed repair
Replace Or Install New Plumbing
If a tap, toilet or shower is worn out, difficult to repair or no longer suits your room, we can quote for a replacement. We also install new water supplies, wastes and connections for planned improvements.
- Check fitting compatibility and access
- Discuss supplied fittings or supply and fit
- Provide an installation quotation

Frequently asked questions
Plumbing Repair & Installation FAQs
Answers to common questions before booking plumbing work in Northampton.
How much does a plumbing repair cost in Northampton?
The cost depends on the fault, access, time needed and any replacement parts. We explain any visit charge before you book and discuss the repair cost once we have assessed the problem. Additional work is agreed with you first.
Can you repair a toilet that keeps running or will not flush?
Yes. We investigate running toilets, weak or failed flushing, slow-filling cisterns and leaks. Depending on the fault, the repair may involve a fill valve, flush valve, syphon, button, handle or seal. Suitable parts and access are checked before the work is agreed.
Do you replace leaking ball valves and fix overflows?
Yes. We replace faulty ball valves and float valves in toilet cisterns and accessible cold water storage tanks. We check the cause of a dripping overflow and confirm that the valve closes correctly after the agreed repair.
Can you change my taps or fit a tap I have already bought?
Yes. We repair and replace kitchen, basin and bath taps. If you have bought a tap, send a photo, its specification and a picture of the existing fitting so we can check compatibility and access. We can also discuss supply and fit options.
Do you repair and replace showers?
We work on mixer and thermostatic showers, including leaking valves, cartridges, diverters, heads and hoses where suitable parts are available. We also install replacement showers. For electric showers, we check the proposed unit and the plumbing and electrical requirements before agreeing the work.
Can you fix leaking pipes and replace stopcocks?
Yes. We repair accessible leaking pipes, joints and connections, and replace accessible stopcocks and isolation valves. If pipework is concealed, we discuss the access needed and any making good. For an active leak, turn off the water at the stopcock if you can do so safely and call us.
Will you take on small plumbing jobs?
Yes. Small plumbing jobs are welcome, including changing a tap, repairing a toilet valve, replacing a waste or trap, connecting an appliance and fitting an outside tap. Tell us what you need and your postcode so we can discuss availability and cost.
