5 Plumbing Fixes Every UK Homeowner Should Know (Before Calling a Plumber)

Calling a plumber in the UK now costs £80–£150 just for the first hour — and that's before parts. But here's the thing: most common plumbing problems are genuinely fixable yourself with basic tools and a bit of guidance.


Here are 5 repairs that catch people out the most — and what you can actually do about them:


1. Dripping Taps

That steady drip isn't just annoying — it can waste over 5,500 litres of water a year. In most cases, it's a worn washer or cartridge that costs under £5 to replace. You just need to know which type of tap you have and how to swap it safely.


2. Blocked Sinks and Showers

Before you reach for chemical drain unblockers (which can damage your pipes over time), try a plunger, drain snake, or the baking soda and vinegar method. Nine times out of ten, the blockage is in the trap — and it takes 10 minutes to clear.


3. Running Toilets

If your toilet keeps running after flushing, it's usually a faulty fill valve or flapper. These are cheap parts and straightforward to replace — yet plumbers charge £100+ for this job regularly.


4. Low Water Pressure

Low pressure in one tap usually means a clogged aerator (5-minute fix). Low pressure throughout the house could be a partially closed stopcock or a problem with your supplier. Knowing how to diagnose the difference saves you an unnecessary callout.


5. Leaking Washing Machine Connections

A puddle behind the washing machine is scary, but it's often just a loose or perished inlet hose. Checking and tightening these connections takes minutes.
