AJ was really friendly, helpful and professional, and was able to come at really short notice on a Saturday night to solve our emergency. He provided comprehensive advice and we’ll definitely work with him again to complete the job.

SHOWER & BATHTUB REPAIRS

Make everyday routines easier again.

  • Shower leaks, flow and temperature problems
  • Bath taps, wastes, traps and overflow leaks
  • Repair or replacement options after assessment
UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM

What should you do first?

Shower and bathtub faults can involve the water supply, taps or mixer, waste pipework, overflow or seals. Describe whether the problem is a visible leak, poor flow, changing temperature or slow drainage. Stop using a fixture that is sending water into the building; assessment is needed before selecting a repair.

Does it leak while running or while emptying?

Tell us where water is visible and what was happening when it appeared. A leak around a tap connection, a bath overflow used during filling and a waste that leaks while emptying call for different checks. Do not fill or run the fixture again to demonstrate a leak that may damage the room below. Existing observations or safe photographs are more useful.

Mixer shower or electric shower?

Give the make and model if visible without removing covers. A mixer uses the property’s hot and cold supply; an electric shower includes electrical components with different work requirements. Do not remove an electric shower cover or attempt electrical diagnosis. Explain whether other taps have normal hot water and flow so the enquiry can be directed appropriately.

Is resealing enough to fix a shower leak?

A visible failed seal may be relevant, but resealing does not repair a leaking waste, concealed supply connection or other underlying fault. Ask how the cause will be assessed before choosing cosmetic work. Discuss access beneath the bath or tray, any required parts and who will reinstate finishes if opening up is necessary.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Helpful answers before you call.

Can a slow bath be treated as a shower repair enquiry?

Yes. Explain whether the bath, shower or both drain slowly and whether other fixtures back up. Several affected fixtures may require a wider drainage assessment.

Should a shower with unpredictable temperature still be used?

Stop using it if the temperature is unsafe. Describe the system and whether the fault also affects other outlets; the cause needs assessment rather than an assumed replacement part.

Can I book shower & bathtub repairs in my Edinburgh postcode?

Call with your full postcode and the details of the fault. We’ll confirm coverage, current availability and the appropriate next step.

What information is useful for shower & bathtub repairs?

Whether the fault affects a shower, bath or both The make and model of any shower if known Where it leaks, drains slowly or has changed performance.

How much will the work cost?

Standard-hours callout starts from £75 for attendance and diagnosis only. Callout charges cover attendance and diagnosis only and are separate from repair labour. The service prices shown are labour charges only. Parts and materials are charged separately. No VAT is charged. Standard hours are 7am–7pm, Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays. Evenings, nights, weekends and bank holidays are out of hours. All times are Edinburgh local time. Agree all charges before committing to a visit and any repair work before it begins.

How quickly can a plumber get to me?

Our average response to emergency callouts is under 60 minutes. It is an average, not a guarantee: arrival depends on your location, traffic and other callouts, and outlying towns take longer. When you call, we give you an arrival estimate for your address.

What should I do if water is escaping?

If safe, turn off the relevant isolation valve or main stopcock. Keep clear of wet electrical fittings and do not attempt repairs on gas or electrical equipment. Call for professional advice.
