Water around a shower can come from the head, hose, mixer, waste or surrounding enclosure. Describe when it leaks and whether temperature or flow has also changed.
Your visit, explained
Small problem. Sorted from £85.
From £85 including VAT
Call-out, assessment and labour to fix a small, straightforward issue on the first visit.
For safely accessible faults that can be resolved on the first visit. Parts, materials and further work are quoted separately for your approval.
One-hour arrival aim
For urgent London plumbing and heating repairs, we aim to arrive within 1 hour, subject to availability, postcode, the specialist required and travel conditions. Call for your estimated arrival time.
If a first-visit fix isn’t possible, the agreed visit charge still covers the call-out and assessment. We explain the fault and quote any parts, further investigation or larger repair for your approval.
We’ll give you the full visit price when you book. There is no additional call-out fee on top of that price.
Workmanship, warranties and specialist work
Any workmanship guarantee is set out in your written quotation: the work covered, duration, exclusions and how to report a problem. Product warranties follow the manufacturer’s terms. A repair does not automatically guarantee the whole existing system. Your statutory consumer rights are unaffected.
Gas work must be carried out by an appropriately qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. Electrical and unvented hot-water work need the relevant competence and certification where required. Mayfair matches the work to the appropriate specialist.
The situation matters more than the name of the fault. Use the safety guidance above if anyone may be at risk.
↗ Urgent repair
Call to check availability.
An active leak, water you cannot isolate, an overflowing toilet or loss of your only toilet? Explain what is happening and whether water is still escaping.
We aim to arrive within 1 hour for urgent London repairs, subject to availability, postcode, specialist requirements and travel conditions. The estimated arrival time and charge must be confirmed by phone. An enquiry does not book attendance.
○ Routine work
Plan the repair or service.
A tap dripping into the basin, a planned replacement or a manageable fitting fault without escaping water: send the details and your preferred timing.
If the situation worsens or an essential facility is lost, call to discuss the change.
Exact scope
What Mayfair will check.
The source needs identifying before parts are ordered or a sealant repair is proposed. A visible mark outside the shower does not by itself show whether the fault is plumbing, the waste or the enclosure.
Shower fitting, hose and mixer assessment
Compatible components or replacement proposals
Checks within the agreed repair scope
Prepare your enquiry
What to tell the plumber.
Give the shower brand and model if known.
Explain whether the leak happens during use or afterwards.
Mention an electric shower or concealed valve so the right trade can be arranged.
What affects the cost?
Valve type, hidden connections, cartridge availability and access influence the quote. Electrical work, tiling and enclosure repairs need their own agreed scope.
Describe the symptom before choosing a repair.
Separate a dripping head from water escaping beneath the tray or through the room below.
Say whether temperature fluctuates, flow has weakened or only the shower is affected while other taps work.

Example problem & repair approach
A leaking shower mixer
The problem: The mixer leaks or the shower temperature becomes unreliable.
How we can help: Check the mixer, hose and connections to find the source. Repair with compatible parts where suitable, then check flow and temperature.
Only if the problem is with the relevant seal. Pipework, the waste, the valve or the enclosure may be involved. Assess the source first so the proposed repair addresses the fault.
Can you repair a thermostatic shower mixer?+
Provide the brand or model and describe the temperature problem. A compatible cartridge or valve may be needed, but the water supply and controls should be assessed before deciding on replacement.
Is an electric shower repair the same as a mixer repair?+
No. An electric shower has its own electrical heating arrangement. Tell Mayfair which type is fitted so the appropriate trade and safe assessment can be arranged.
Questions about booking a plumber.
How much does a plumber cost in London?+
From £85 including VAT for call-out, assessment and labour to fix a small, safely accessible fault on the first visit where possible. We’ll give you the full visit price when you book. Parts and further work need a separate quote and your approval. If the repair needs more work, the visit charge still covers call-out and assessment.
Can I book a plumber near me by postcode?+
Send your full postcode and the plumbing problem. We use them to check the appropriate trade and current availability. Postal districts cross borough boundaries, so an area match alone does not confirm attendance.
Can you help landlords and tenants?+
Yes. Include the reported fault, who can arrange access and who approves the work. Where a tenant, landlord or managing agent needs to authorise attendance or expenditure, agree that before booking.
Do you offer same-day or emergency plumbing?+
Call to discuss current availability. This website does not promise same-day attendance, a fixed response time or 24-hour cover. Do not wait for an online reply if there is an immediate risk.
Can you find matching taps and replacement parts?+
Share the brand, model and finish if known. Mayfair can discuss sourcing compatible parts or a suitable replacement, with cost and any return visit agreed before ordering.
Is repairing water-damaged decoration included?+
Only if it is included in the written scope. Tell us if you also want plastering, cabinetry repairs or decorating so the complete job can be planned and quoted.
