Common Tap & Toilet Issues We Resolve
Dripping Taps
Usually caused by worn washers or cartridges. A single dripping tap can waste over 5,000 litres of water annually. We quickly replace the faulty components to stop the drip and save water.
Stiff Tap Operation
Often due to limescale build-up (common in Bath's hard water areas) or worn parts. We either descale or replace components to restore smooth operation.
Low Water Pressure
May be caused by blockages in the tap aerator or restrictions in the supply. We investigate and address the specific cause to restore proper flow.
Running Toilets
Typically caused by faulty flush valves or fill valves. We replace the damaged components to stop water waste and the annoying noise.
Weak Flush
Often results from partial blockages, damaged flush mechanisms, or insufficient water in the cistern. We diagnose and fix the specific issue.
Toilet Leaks
May occur at the base seal, cistern connections, or supply pipe. We locate and fix the leak to prevent water damage and mould growth.

Our professional tap and toilet repair services are available to various sectors throughout the region:
Our Professional Repair Process
Thorough Assessment
We begin by examining your tap or toilet issue in detail, identifying the root cause rather than just addressing symptoms. For properties in Bristol and Bath, we consider factors such as water pressure, limescale levels, and the age of your plumbing system.
Clear Explanation
Before proceeding with any work, we explain the problem, the proposed solution, and provide transparent pricing. We'll discuss options for repair versus replacement, helping you make an informed decision.
Skilled Repair
Our experienced plumbers carry out the necessary repairs efficiently and with attention to detail. We use quality parts that match your existing fixtures, particularly important for period properties in Bath and character homes in Bristol.
Thorough Testing
After completing the repair, we thoroughly test the fixture to ensure it's functioning correctly, checking for leaks, proper operation, and appropriate water flow or flush performance.
Cleanup & Advice
We leave your property clean and tidy, removing any debris or packaging. We also provide advice on maintaining your taps and toilets, helping prevent future issues and extending their lifespan.
How quickly can you repair a leaking tap or toilet?
For standard repairs in Bristol and Bath, we typically offer appointments within 1-3 days. For urgent issues like significantly leaking toilets that risk property damage, we provide same-day emergency service when available. Most repairs are completed in a single visit as we carry a comprehensive range of parts suitable for both modern and period fixtures.
How long should tap and toilet repairs last?
With quality parts and professional installation, most tap repairs should last 3-5 years, while toilet mechanisms typically last 5-7 years before potentially needing further attention. We use components suitable for the hard water conditions common in the Bath area, which helps extend the lifespan of repairs.
Can you repair special or designer taps?
Yes, we have experience with a wide range of designer and specialty taps, including traditional brass taps common in Bath's period properties and contemporary designer fixtures found in Bristol's modern developments. In cases where specific parts are required, we can source these or advise on suitable alternatives.
Is it better to repair or replace my tap/toilet?
This depends on several factors including the age and condition of the fixture, the cost of repairs versus replacement, and your preferences. For period properties in Bath and Bristol, we often recommend repairs to preserve original features where possible. For modern fixtures, replacement is sometimes more economical if the existing unit is aging. We'll always provide honest advice based on your specific situation.
Do you offer any guarantees on your repairs?
Yes, all our tap and toilet repairs come with a 12-month guarantee on both parts and labour. If you experience any issues with the repair within this period, we'll return to fix it at no additional cost, providing peace of mind for property owners throughout the South West region.
After struggling with a continuously running toilet that was wasting water and money, I called Fernwood for help. Their plumber arrived promptly, diagnosed the issue with our unusual heritage flush mechanism (common in our Georgian Bath property), and had it fixed within an hour. He even took the time to explain how the system works and what to watch for in the future. The service was professional, clean, and the price was exactly as quoted with no surprises. Highly recommended!
