Our Work
Every job in Walkden and across Greater Manchester is completed to the same high standard — clean, efficient, and guaranteed.




We trace the source and fix the root cause — not just the symptom.
Water escaping around or through the overflow fitting — usually a worn seal or poor original installation.
Leaking plug hole, waste pipe, or P-trap beneath the bath. Often causes damage to the floor or ceiling below.
Failed silicone sealant along the bath edge allows water to seep behind tiles and into the wall or floor.
Dripping bath taps or leaking mixer shower adding water to the bath surround or behind the panel.
Water trapped behind the bath panel, often from splashing or a hidden pipe joint failure.
Hairline cracks in older baths allowing water to weep into the subfloor — requires bath replacement.
Traced and fixed on the first visit — Walkden area.
Call or WhatsApp and we'll advise if it's urgent and agree a visit time — same day in most cases.
We lift the bath panel, test the waste, check the overflow, taps, and sealant to pinpoint the source.
We repair or replace the faulty component — waste trap, overflow, tap washer, or reseal the bath edge.
Full water test to confirm the repair is watertight before we leave.
Advice on signs to watch for and when to re-seal your bath to avoid future leaks.
