24/7 Emergency Plumbers in Christchurch

A burst pipe, a leaking cylinder or water pouring through a ceiling can’t wait until Monday. Our emergency plumbers cover Christchurch 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including bank holidays. Call 01202 934045 and you’ll speak to a real person who can get an emergency plumber to you fast.

Is it an emergency?

Call us straight away if you have a burst pipe, a leak you can’t stop or sewage backing up. The same goes for several drains blocking at once or your water suddenly cutting out. Not sure? Ring us anyway. We’ll talk it through, and if it’s a simple fix, we’ll tell you how to do it yourself.

First steps while you wait

Turn off your stopcock. It’s usually under the kitchen sink, but in older Christchurch homes it can be under the stairs or beneath a floorboard by the front door. Keep water away from electrics. If you smell gas, leave the property and call 0800 111 999.

Fair prices, even at 3am

There’s no call-out fee, and our prices stay fair outside normal hours. You’ll get a fixed price before we start. If the leak is on the street side of your boundary, that pipe belongs to Bournemouth Water, so you shouldn’t pay to fix it. For urgent jobs that can wait a few hours, try our same day plumbing service.

Plumbing Services for Christchurch Homes and Businesses

Our plumbing services cover the everyday and the awkward. That includes leak repairs, tracing hidden leaks behind walls and under floors, pipework rerouting, low water pressure and running toilets. We also clear blocked drains, sinks and slow showers, and track down drain smells that keep coming back.

Bigger plumbing and heating jobs

 

Beyond repairs, we install and service unvented hot water cylinders, power flush heating systems and carry out boiler repairs. We also fit complete bathrooms, from stripping out the old suite to the final seal.

Hard water and older pipes

 

Christchurch gets hard water from Bournemouth Water, and their hard water guidance explains why limescale is so common here. It clogs shower heads and coats cylinders and boilers, so we often fit scale reducers to protect them. Many older homes near the High Street also still have lead or galvanised pipes, which we can replace with modern materials.

Want ongoing cover? Our home cover plans start from £15 a month, with no long contract.

Signs You Need a Plumber in Christchurch

Plenty of small plumbing jobs can wait, and some you can sort yourself. But certain warning signs mean it’s time to put the plunger down and call a plumber in Christchurch before a small fault becomes an expensive one.

Drainage warning signs
 
  • Several drains backing up at once, such as the sink, shower and toilet all struggling together
  • Water rising back up the plughole instead of draining away, a sign that pressure is building in the system
  • A sewage smell that won’t go away, which often points to a deeper blockage or a venting fault
Leak and water supply warning signs
  • Water stains on ceilings, damp patches on walls or water pooling near pipework
  • A sudden drop in water pressure, or hot water disappearing altogether
  • A burst pipe or major leak that’s forced you to turn off the stopcock
Why it pays to act early
 

A slow leak under the floor can rot joists and ruin flooring long before you see any sign of it. In the same way, a partly blocked drain left alone can end up backing up into the house. Getting it checked early usually means a quicker job and a smaller bill. Our blocked drains and leak repair services cover both.

Spotted one of these signs at home? Don’t wait for it to get worse. Book a Christchurch plumber today and we’ll find the cause and give you a fixed price to fix it.

SBB Plumbing. We’re a Gas Safe registered, CIPHE accredited team that has worked in Christchurch since 2019, rated 5.0 on Google.

How much does a plumber cost in Christchurch, Dorset?

It depends on the job. General plumbing rates in the area usually range from £45 to £90 an hour. Larger jobs, such as leak repairs or drainage work, are often priced as a fixed cost between £80 and £300. We give you a fixed, written quote upfront, so you’ll know the exact cost before any work starts.

Do you offer a warranty on plumbing repairs in Christchurch?

Yes. Our plumbing repairs are backed by a workmanship guarantee. If something isn’t right after we’ve gone, we’ll come back and put it right at no extra cost.

How far in advance should I book non-urgent plumbing work?

For routine repairs, a few days’ notice is usually enough to get a convenient slot. Booking early gives you more choice of times, and emergency work is always fitted in the same day.

Will the same plumber return if I need a follow-up visit?

Wherever possible, yes. It saves you explaining the problem again and keeps things consistent on jobs that need a second look.

Are your plumbers insured to work inside occupied homes?

Yes. Our plumbers are fully insured for domestic work, covering both your property and its contents while the job is underway.

What should I do before your plumber arrives?

Just clear access to the problem area, such as under the sink or around the toilet. If you have pets, it helps to keep them in another room while we work.
