Yes. Small jobs are an important part of our service.

Where practical, yes. Tell us about each problem when arranging the call-out so we can understand the likely scope and allow suitable time.
You don’t need to diagnose it yourself.
Tell us what you can see, hear or smell, when the problem happens and which fixture or room is affected. Photographs can also be helpful.
Contact a plumber if you notice:
Water appearing where it should not
A recurring leak or blockage
A toilet that continually runs
A tap that will not turn off
Unexplained running-water sounds
Reduced water pressure
Dampness on a ceiling or wall
A plumbing fixture that has stopped working
A small fault can become more disruptive if it is left unresolved.
Yes. We can inspect and maintain agreed accessible household plumbing, including taps, toilets, visible pipes, valves, wastes, hoses and water connections.
Yes. We can visually inspect agreed accessible household plumbing and identify visible faults or maintenance requirements.
This is not a structural survey or a guarantee covering pipes concealed behind walls, beneath floors or underground.
If it is safe:
Turn off the nearest isolation valve or main water supply.
Turn off nearby electrical power if water could reach electrical fittings, but only if this can be done safely.
Move belongings away from the water.
Use towels or containers to limit the spread.
Call 083 803 8034.
Do not approach standing water near electricity.
Yes. We repair suitable accessible household pipes, joints, valves and fittings.
The plumber will identify the source and explain whether a local repair or replacement section is required.
Turn off the relevant water supply or main stop valve if it is safe.
Avoid electrical lights and fittings near the water. Move belongings away from the affected area and arrange an urgent plumbing inspection.
Water visible on a ceiling may originate from a bathroom, tank, cylinder, pipe or another connection above it.
We can inspect visible evidence and accessible plumbing.
Leaks behind walls, beneath floors or underground may require specialist leak-detection equipment or further investigation.
Even a slow leak can damage cabinets, flooring, ceilings, plasterwork and surrounding materials over time.
Arrange an inspection if a leak continues, returns or causes dampness.
Plumbing Heros accepts urgent residential plumbing enquiries subject to current availability.
Call 083 803 8034 for the fastest availability check. The service should not be advertised as 24/7 unless the client confirms otherwise.
Same-day availability depends on your Dublin location, the urgency of the problem and existing appointments.
Active leaks and serious household plumbing problems are prioritised where possible.
Yes. We repair suitable kitchen, bathroom, bath, basin, mixer and outside taps.
The required repair depends on the tap design, its condition and the source of the leak.
A repair may be appropriate if the tap remains in reasonable condition and suitable components are available.
Replacement may be recommended when the tap is badly corroded, cracked or no longer capable of a dependable repair.
Water around the base may come from the tap body, an internal seal, the connection beneath the sink or water collecting around the fixture.
The exact source should be identified before the repair is confirmed.
Yes. A tap that will not shut off may have a worn or damaged internal component.
Turn off its isolation valve if it is safe and arrange a repair.
Yes. Where a faulty tap cannot be repaired reliably, we can fit a suitable replacement to compatible existing plumbing.
Yes. The problem may involve the handle, button, siphon, flush valve, water level or another cistern component.
A toilet may continue running when an inlet valve, flush valve, seal, float or another cistern component is worn or incorrectly operating.
Yes. We assess suitable leaks involving cisterns, valves, supply connections, seals and accessible toilet plumbing.
Water around the base of a toilet should be inspected promptly.
Yes. Slow filling may involve the inlet valve, water supply, isolation valve or another accessible component.
Stop flushing it.
Turn off the toilet’s isolation valve if it is accessible and safe. Keep water away from electrical fittings and call for assistance.
Yes. Plumbing Heros clears suitable household toilet blockages.
Repeated or multi-fixture blockages may indicate a deeper drainage problem requiring specialist investigation.
Yes. We clear suitable blockages involving kitchen sinks, wastes, traps and accessible household drainage.
Yes. Hair, soap residue and other material can restrict bathroom wastes and traps.
We can assess and clear suitable accessible blockages.
Recurring blockages may be caused by:
Material collecting in the waste pipe
An unsuitable item entering the drain
Poor drainage flow
Damaged pipework
A deeper obstruction
A problem affecting a shared or external drain
Repeated blockages may require further investigation.
Strong drain-cleaning chemicals can be hazardous and may damage some plumbing materials.
Do not mix different products. Tell the plumber about anything already poured into the drain before work begins.
Plumbing Heros may assess suitable accessible household drain blockages within its confirmed service scope.
Collapsed drains, public sewers, excavation, CCTV surveys or specialist jetting may require a drainage contractor.
If several fixtures are affected, the problem may be further along the drainage system rather than in one individual sink or toilet.
Stop using the affected fixtures and arrange an assessment.
We repair suitable plumbing faults involving:
Basin and bath taps
Toilets and cisterns
Shower water supplies
Bath and basin wastes
Accessible valves
Leaking connections
Visible bathroom pipework
Slow-draining fixtures
We can assess suitable plumbing leaks involving accessible shower pipes, valves, hoses, wastes and water connections.
Leaks caused by failed tiling, grout, waterproofing or an internal electrical component may require another specialist.
Plumbing Heros may assess external water-supply and accessible plumbing faults.
Electrical wiring, heating elements and internal electrical components require an appropriately qualified electrical or shower-repair specialist.
Reduced shower pressure may involve:
The showerhead or hose
A valve
A local pipe restriction
Household water pressure
A water-supply problem
The shower unit itself
The appropriate repair depends on whether the fault is plumbing-related or internal to the shower unit.
Suitable plumbing connections and fixture replacements may be available. Complete bathroom renovation, tiling and structural work are not included unless separately confirmed.
We repair suitable problems involving kitchen taps, sinks, traps, wastes, valves, under-sink pipes and water connections.
Common sources include:
Tap connections
Waste pipes
Sink traps
Isolation valves
Flexible hoses
Appliance connections
Accessible supply pipes
The leak may only appear while the tap or an appliance is being used.
Suitable appliance plumbing connections may be available where compatible water, waste and isolation points already exist.
Electrical or appliance faults are not included.
We can assess suitable accessible water-supply and waste-hose connections.
If the leak originates inside the appliance, an appliance technician may be required.
Low water pressure may involve:
A partially closed valve
A local tap or shower fault
A restricted pipe
A household leak
A water-supply interruption
A tank or pump problem
Another plumbing component
The first step is determining whether one fixture or the entire property is affected.
Yes. We assess suitable accessible pipes damaged by freezing.
Do not use a naked flame or extreme heat to thaw a frozen pipe. A pipe may begin leaking as it thaws.
Banging or vibrating pipes may be related to water flow, pressure, unsecured pipework, valves or a particular plumbing fixture.
Note when the sound occurs and which fixture is being used.
Some older pipework can be repaired locally. Replacement may be more dependable if the pipe is extensively corroded or several sections have deteriorated.
Yes. We repair suitable plumbing problems involving attic tanks, ball valves, overflows, pipes and accessible connections.
If the tank body has split or deteriorated, replacement may need to be considered.
An overflowing tank may involve a faulty ball valve, float, inlet component or water-level problem.
The underlying cause should be repaired rather than blocking the overflow.
Yes. We replace suitable accessible ball valves where they are worn, sticking, leaking or failing to control the water level.
We can inspect the cylinder and its accessible valves, fittings and pipe connections.
If the cylinder body itself has failed, replacement may be required.
Plumbing Heros may assess plumbing leaks and water-supply problems involving the cylinder.
Whether the company currently provides immersion element replacement must be confirmed. Electrical wiring, switches, thermostats and electrical faults require an appropriately qualified specialist.
Tank cleaning and tank replacement appear within the company’s previously published services. Confirm the current scope before placing this FAQ on the finished website.
Yes. We repair suitable outside taps, garden taps and accessible external pipe connections.
Yes. Where a tap is badly damaged or cannot be repaired reliably, a compatible replacement can be fitted.
Outside-tap installation appears within the company’s previously published services.
The final page should confirm whether both standard and hot/cold outdoor tap installations are still available.
Turn off the nearest isolation valve or main water supply if it is safe.
Keep people away from escaping water or icy surfaces and call 083 803 8034.
Accessible exposed pipework may benefit from suitable insulation and a working isolation valve.
The appropriate protection depends on the pipe location and condition.
