Why Choose H2Pro Plumbing
Water leak plumber Doncaster – taps, showers, sinks, basins & toilets
H2Pro Plumbing service, maintain and install all models and makes of tap ware and toilets.
Leaking taps and toilet cisterns are annoying, wasteful and can result in excessive water bills. H2Pro Plumbing specialises in rectifying these problems.
We can supply and install recommended brands of bathroom, kitchen and laundry ware, whether it be a new installation or just replacing your existing taps and/or fixtures.
Tap servicing and installation
Changing the washer on a leaking tap is only doing half of the job. 9 times out of 10 a leaking tap not only needs a new washer but it needs to be serviced as a whole. Servicing a leaking or stiff tap requires the spindle to be disassembled, cleaned out, O’ring or O’rings replaced and tap lubricant applied.
The spindle and tap then need to be reassembled with a new washer and tested with the water supply back on. If leaking persists the breach may need to be re-seated. Servicing a tap correctly allows the tap to turn on and off freely, and not leak from the outlet or body of the tap.
At H2Pro Plumbing we ensure that all tap ware is installed to manufacturers standards and guidelines. This means installing mini stops where necessary and pressure limiting valves when the water pressure exceeds manufacturers specifications. Failure to abide by these guidelines will void warranties and potentially cause damage to the product.
Showers
Leaking shower recesses are most commonly caused by age: cracked tile grout, failed silicone joints, and leaking screens.
Other causes can be leaking waste pipes or unsealed tap/rose penetrations through the shower wall.
Incorrect and substandard installation can also be a common cause of leakage. Our H2Pro plumbers will be able to diagnose the leak in your shower and provide you with expert advice on how to rectify the problem.
Blocked showers are generally caused by a build up of hair and soap scum lodged in the waste pipe. H2Pro Plumbing has specialised equipment to remove this matter from your shower drain.
Toilets
Leaking toilet cisterns are most commonly caused by worn inlet and/or outlet valve washers. In most cases, washers can be replaced and the cistern repaired.
If you have an old single flush cistern that is leaking it may be a good opportunity to upgrade to a dual flush cistern or a more water efficient toilet suite. If you do wish to replace your suite we can advise you on what model will best suit your existing plumbing configuration.
If you have noticed a puddle of water on the ground behind your toilet it will most likely be a leaking flush cone rubber or pan collar.
Flush cone rubbers are the seal that joins the pipe from the cistern to the toilet pan. The pan collar is the big rubber that connects the toilet pan to the sewer drain.
Flush cone rubbers can usually be replaced with minimum fuss, but pan collars can be difficult as the toilet pan has to be removed in most cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common signs that my tap needs repair?
Common signs that your tap may need repair include constant dripping, reduced water pressure, unusual noises, difficulty turning the tap on or off, or water leaking around the base. Addressing these issues promptly can help avoid more significant problems.
Why is my toilet constantly running, and how can it be fixed?
A constantly running toilet is often caused by a faulty flapper valve, fill valve, or overflow tube. It can lead to higher water bills and wasted water. A professional plumber can diagnose the issue and make the necessary repairs to stop the constant running.
What causes low water pressure in my taps?
Low water pressure in taps can be caused by several factors, including clogged aerators, leaks in the plumbing system, or issues with the water supply. A thorough inspection by a licensed plumber can identify the root cause and restore proper water pressure.
How do I know if my toilet needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
If your toilet frequently clogs, leaks, or has cracks in the porcelain, it may be more cost-effective to replace it rather than continually repairing it. A professional plumber can assess whether a repair or replacement is the best option for your situation.
What should I do if my tap is leaking?
If your tap is leaking, it’s best to turn off the water supply to the affected area and contact a professional plumber. If you don’t have isolation valves near the tap, you will need to turn your water off at the mains. Leaking taps can waste a significant amount of water over time, leading to higher bills and potential water damage.
Why does my toilet make a gurgling noise?
A gurgling toilet often indicates a blockage in the plumbing system or venting issues. It’s important to address this issue promptly to avoid potential backups or damage to your plumbing system.
Can I fix a dripping tap myself?
While minor tap repairs, such as replacing a washer, can be done by homeowners, more complex issues should be handled by a licensed plumber. DIY repairs can sometimes cause more damage if not done correctly.
What are the benefits of hiring a professional for toilet repairs?
Hiring a professional ensures that the repair is done correctly, safely, and in compliance with local plumbing codes. A licensed plumber can also identify underlying issues that may not be obvious to the untrained eye, preventing future problems.
How often should taps and toilets be inspected or maintained?
You should inspect your taps and toilets every 2-3 years? Flexible connections should be inspected every 6 months by the homeowner for rust and fraying and need replacing every five years. Flexible hoses and connections that are not regularly maintained can cause huge nightmares for flooding.
What should I do if my toilet overflows?
If your toilet overflows, turn off the water supply to the toilet immediately and avoid flushing it again until the issue is resolved. Contact a professional plumber to inspect the cause of the overflow and make the necessary repairs.
