Loose Fixture Securing
Loose toilets, basins, taps and radiators can quickly lead to leaks, damage, and everyday frustration. Loose fixture securing is a targeted repair service that stabilises the fitting, resolves the underlying cause, and restores safe, reliable use without unnecessary replacement.
More information
What loose fixture securing covers
This service is designed to make a loose plumbing fixture safe, stable and watertight again. Depending on what we find, work may include:
- Checking fixings, brackets and mounting points
- Isolating the water supply safely before work starts
- Tightening and re-securing fittings to remove movement
- Replacing worn or failed parts where needed (for example, washers, seals, connectors or isolation valves)
- Resealing around fixtures if gaps are contributing to movement or seepage
- Testing for leaks and proper operation before we leave
When this service is the right fit
Book loose fixture securing if you have movement, drips, or signs that a fitting is no longer properly anchored, such as:
- A toilet that rocks, creaks or has water around the base
- A basin that shifts on its pedestal, wall brackets or vanity unit
- A tap that twists, feels unstable, or leaks when used
- A radiator that feels loose on brackets, or has weeping joints after being knocked
It is also a sensible call-out if you are a landlord or small business and want issues addressed before they become damage, downtime or complaints.
What to expect on the day
We start with a quick assessment to confirm the cause of the looseness and check for any associated leaks or damage. Where necessary, we isolate the supply, carry out the securing work, and replace any small components that are preventing a reliable seal. We then test the fixture under normal use to confirm it is stable and performing as it should.
After the repair
Once secured, the fitting should feel solid and operate normally. If we spot signs of ongoing risk, such as degraded mounting points, water damage, or hidden leaks, we will explain the options clearly so you can decide on the best next step.
