Bathrooms, showers and repairs in Basildon

New-town plumbing, modernised in stages

Many Basildon homes have had their kitchens and bathrooms replaced several times, and the pipework behind them has been extended and adapted along the way. Isolating valves may be missing, stopcocks seized and old copper mixed with plastic. A refit is the best moment to put all that right.

Essex's hard water adds to the wear on taps, showers and cylinders, and limescale-related repairs are routine.

What the local water means for your plumbing: East of England

The East of England is one of the driest parts of the UK and has some of its hardest water, drawn largely from chalk aquifers. Scale is the everyday plumbing complaint: furred-up shower heads, sticking ball valves, noisy immersion heaters and dripping mixer cartridges. Water softeners and scale reducers are common requests, and plumbers often recommend a separate unsoftened drinking tap in the kitchen.

For a burst pipe or a leak through a ceiling, turn the water off at the stopcock and switch off electrics near the water if it's safe to do so before calling a plumber for an urgent visit. What to do about a burst pipe.
