If you suspect water is leaking from bathroom fittings or concealed bathroom pipes, it’s important to act quickly. Identifying leaks can prevent damage to the structural parts of a property and the associated repair costs.
Our bathroom leak detection service identifies hidden leaks beneath floors, behind walls or bath panels without causing damage.
This video shows some of the non-invasive techniques used by our experts for finding water leaks and sources of water ingress.
Our experts follow a methodical “trace and access” approach. In this example, bathroom leak detection was able to rule out a bathroom leak as the source of a damp patch on a ceiling. Attention turned to the roof.
We can find and fix leaks anywhere in a bathroom:
We wanted to find a leak in the bathroom and Neil was very thorough. He had all necessary trace and access equipment with him to find and fix. Tried the least invasive method first and then the next most obvious option. Found the leak we knew about and fixed it plus another we didn’t know about. Explained everything carefully - seemed to know what he was talking about and explained the options and cost implications. Good result.

Csaba did a thorough leak investigation for my flat and liaised with my neighbour below whose ceiling was affected. Omar the handyman repaired the silicon in my bathroom which caused this leak, as well as a barrier in my bathroom (unrelated to the leak). Both were reliable and punctual.

The engineer who came to source the leak was highly experienced and in no time he found the leak which was beneath the shower tray in the bathroom. We'd had several plumbers who couldn't find the leak before. Therefore I can only highly recommended him for the leak detection work.

I booked Aspect for a leak detection and received a great service. The engineer was extremely friendly and helpful. He explained the inspection in details as I had a few questions. Second part of the job was to change my bath panel. I was delighted as he was able to fit the panel without removing my new vanity unit which would prolong the job and involve plumbing work. Thank you Aspect for the last finishing touches that I needed.

Needed an emergency plumber to investigate a bathroom leak in my house. Super polite, knowledgable plumber came, got job done, advised on situation. Very happy so far.

I got the booking as quickly as I wanted it. Dean was great - honest, thorough and polite. I had a leak that I couldn’t resolve, he isolated it, tested water pressure to make sure that wasn’t affecting it, then removed the source of the problem and will be back to re-install a WC which was leaking. He was professional and gave me a lot of useful information on the leak. Highly appreciate it.

Can plumbers find hidden leaks?
We have trained, equipped and up-skilled our most experienced plumbers, drainage engineers, and heating engineers in leak detection. Only plumbers with access to a comprehensive range of leak detection techniques, and the knowledge and experience of using them, can be expected to find hidden leaks reliably.
If you have a hidden bathroom leak that needs investigating, you should book a plumbing leak detection expert, rather than a plumber.
How much does it cost for bathroom leak detection?
Our bathroom leak detection investigations are charged in half-hour increments, so the cost depends on the time it takes to trace the leak and identify the cause.
Specialist tracer gas is sometimes used to pinpoint leaks, which is charged for, along with any materials used in any repairs undertaken. Surveys are generated while at the site, so there is no additional charge for the report.
What are the risks of ignoring a leak?
There are many reasons why a water leak should not be ignored. Remember, the visible signs of a leak may be hiding bigger problems:

Reinstatement will usually be covered as part of an “escape of water” insurance claim. We’ll provide a detailed scope of work and a fixed price quote to complete it.
