Emergency Plumber in Bath — 24/7
Bath's Georgian stock is a masterclass in conservation-sensitive plumbing — listed constraints everywhere, hard limestone water throughout, and pipework histories older than most companies. That makes speed matter twice over in Bath: older pipework fails without warning, and water travels fast through shared structures. Our emergency engineers carry the fittings to make safe on the first visit.
What happens when you call
You call, we answer — no menus, no callbacks from a call centre three hours later. We confirm your Bath postcode and the nature of the fault, get the nearest engineer moving, and stay on the line if you need help isolating the water. Most faults are made safe on arrival and permanently repaired in the same visit; where a part is needed, we make safe first and return with it.

Frequently asked questions
Should I turn my water off before you arrive?
If water is escaping, yes — isolate the main stopcock, usually under the kitchen sink or where the supply enters the property. If you can't find or turn it, say so on the call and we'll talk you through the options, including the outside stop valve.
Can you fix a burst pipe permanently on the first visit?
Usually. Engineers carry common pipe sizes, fittings and isolation valves. Where a specific part is needed — for example a cylinder component — the leak is made safe on the first visit and the repair completed as soon as the part is in hand.
Is a leaking hot water cylinder an emergency?
Constant discharge from an unvented cylinder's relief pipework, or water escaping from the cylinder body, should be treated urgently — isolate the cold feed and switch off the immersion/heating first. Unvented repairs legally require a G3-qualified engineer, which we route for automatically.
Do you handle boiler breakdowns in Bath?
No — boilers, central heating and anything gas requires a Gas Safe registered engineer and sits with our heating partner site. We handle the wet plumbing side: pipes, leaks, cylinders, toilets, taps and water supply.
