Common Emergency Plumbing Problems
Blocked drains
Leaking pipes
Tap, stopcock, ball valve and syphon repair or replacement
Toilet, sink and bath blockages
No hot water
Wastewater or sewage backing up into your property
Frozen or burst pipes
Blocked soakaways and septic tanks
Flooded properties
Blocked drains often cause foul smells and slow drainage, and ignoring them can lead to flooding or structural damage.
Emergency plumbers can clear blockages quickly and effectively, and wet wipes and other non-biodegradable items should never be flushed because blocked toilets are often caused by them.
Sewer back-ups pose serious health hazards due to blockages, so people and pets should stay away from the area until it is made safe.
In winter, pipes in unheated spaces can freeze and split, and a broken pipe can cause major leaks.
Emergency Plumbing for Businesses
A plumbing emergency at a commercial site can close areas, damage stock and disrupt trade, making prompt emergency repairs essential. Fastfix respond 24/7 to businesses across Bristol and the South West, from offices and shops to restaurants and industrial units. Fast action from a local emergency plumber helps manage critical plumbing issues and can prevent long-term or extensive water damage to premises and stock.

Emergency Plumbing FAQs
When should I call an emergency plumber?
You should call an emergency plumber for urgent call outs as soon as your issue arises, whether it’s a burst pipe, a blocked drain or flooding. The longer you leave an issue, the worse it can get, and a burst pipe or flooding can cause extensive water damage quickly in your home. Trying to fix the issue yourself could end up exacerbating the problem, which is why it’s recommended to call out an expert. Our FastFix engineers have many years of experience and expertise, utilising the right equipment, including CCTV drain survey cameras to identify and fix any critical plumbing issue.
How long does it take a plumber to fix a burst pipe?
The cost of an emergency plumber depends on a number of factors, and emergency call outs vary in price depending on the time and issue, as well as how big the problem is and what requires fixing. A bigger issue will take longer and cost more, whilst a smaller-scale plumbing emergency would cost less, and if you are unsure what repair is needed, we can provide a free estimate.
How much is an emergency plumber?
The cost of an emergency plumber depends on a number of factors, including the day and time of the callout, as well as how big the issue is and what requires fixing. A bigger issue will take longer and cost more, whilst a smaller-scale plumbing emergency would cost less.
Are emergency plumbers more expensive?
Because of the call-out times and the short notice required, emergency plumbers will be more expensive than regular plumbers. However, by using an emergency plumber you can stop damage faster and repair wasteful faults such as a leaky tap, ensuring there is minimal water waste and that there is less damage as a result of any issues you might face. This in turn can mean that an emergency plumber would be a cost-effective solution to prevent costly repair costs.
Even a dripping tap can waste over 3,000 gallons of water per year, add about 3 litres daily to your water use, and a leaking showerhead can waste more than 500 gallons annually, so small leaks still increase bills.
