A homeowner in Bristol noticed water seeping from under their bathroom floor and damp patches on the skirting board — but couldn’t find the source.
We stepped in as their handyman bristol team to deliver an emergency burst pipe repair: removing damaged wall and floor tiles, locating the cracked pipe inside the wall, replacing the faulty section, and restoring the tiling and plumbing fixtures.
The result? A completely dry, fully functional bathroom — all completed with same-day response, minimal structural damage, and a 3-month guarantee on every job.

The Problem
The client said:
“I could see water coming up near the baseboard, but there was no visible leak from the shower or sink. I was worried it was something serious behind the walls. I needed someone who could act fast, cut smartly, and fix the real problem — not just cover it up.”
This is a common issue we see in older homes across Totterdown, Easton, and Bishopston — where pipes degrade over time and leaks go undetected until damage appears.
