Signs Your Hot Water Cylinder Needs Repair
You may notice several warning signs before a cylinder completely fails:
• No hot water from taps
• Hot water running out quickly
• Water dripping from the tundish
• Low hot water pressure
• Cylinder making bubbling or kettling noises
• Immersion heater not heating
• Water leaking from pipework or valves
If you notice any of these issues, it is best to have the system checked before the problem becomes worse.
I can quickly diagnose faults and carry out repairs where possible, helping avoid the cost of a full cylinder replacement.
Tundish Dripping in Bath
Many homeowners notice water dripping from the tundish on their hot water cylinder.
This is often caused by:
• Expansion vessel pressure loss
• Pressure reducing valve faults
• Temperature and pressure relief valve faults
• System over-pressure
As a G3 qualified plumber, we can diagnose the cause and carry out the correct repair.

Unvented Cylinder Repairs

We can safely diagnose and repair common unvented cylinder faults including:

If your tundish is dripping or your cylinder is losing pressure, we can carry out the correct diagnostic checks to identify the cause.

Many homes in Bath still use open vented cylinders with cold water tanks in the loft.
- Common issues include:
- Immersion heater failure

We can diagnose these problems and restore your hot water system
