Minor Drain Repair
Minor drain repair is a practical, targeted service for when wastewater is slow to drain, backing up, or causing unpleasant odours. The aim is to find the cause quickly, clear or repair the affected section, and leave your sinks, baths, showers and outside drains running normally again.

- Minor repairs to accessible waste and drainage components where needed
- Checks to confirm the line is draining as it should before we finish
- Practical advice to reduce the chance of repeat problems
When this service is the right fit
This service is ideal if you need a reliable solution without unnecessary disruption.
- Water drains slowly from a sink, bath, shower or utility
- A blockage keeps returning after DIY attempts
- You notice gurgling, bubbling, or unpleasant drain odours
- There is a small overflow at a gully or external drain in normal use
- You are a landlord or small premises owner needing a prompt, documented fix
What happens during the visit
We start by asking a few questions about what you are seeing and when it happens. We then pinpoint the likely location and cause, clear the blockage using appropriate tools, and repair any minor, accessible issues found in the process. Before leaving, we run water and check drainage performance, then explain what we did and what to watch for.
Aftercare and next steps
If the issue points to a larger defect, we will tell you plainly and outline the practical options. For recurring problems, we can recommend simple maintenance steps and usage changes that help keep the line clear. If follow-up work is needed, you will have a clear plan before any further steps are taken.
