Emergency Plumber in Bath , Bath and North East Somerset

When faced with a major leak or burst pipe, the first few minutes are critical. The most important step you can take before we arrive is to turn off your main water supply. Locate your internal stopcock—often found under the kitchen sink, in an airing cupboard, or under the stairs—and turn it clockwise to shut off the water. If the leak is near electrical fittings, safely isolate your power supply at the consumer unit.Once you have taken these immediate steps, call our responsive Bath plumbing experts on 01373 482587. When we arrive, our diagnostic process begins immediately. We carry a comprehensive range of WRAS approved fittings and isolation valves, meaning the vast majority of emergency water mains repairs, failed stopcock repairs, and pipework replacements can be completed safely during our very first visit.

It is not always easy to know when a plumbing issue requires an urgent 24/7 callout. While a dripping tap can wait, certain problems pose an immediate risk to your property or personal safety. We strongly advise booking our emergency service for the following situations:Burst Pipes & Major Leaks: Sudden pipe failures that cannot be isolated and are actively damaging floors, walls, or ceilings.Total Loss of Water: A complete loss of mains water supply or hot water, particularly during the colder winter months.Failed Stopcocks: If you have a leak but your internal stopcock or isolation valve has seized and cannot be turned off.Hot Water Cylinder Failures: Unvented hot water systems that are leaking, over-pressurising, or failing entirely. These systems operate under high pressure and strictly require a G3 certified engineer for safe repair.
