When you pick up the phone to call a plumber, don’t worry about sounding “official”, we’re just normal people here to help. Imagine you’re chatting to a friendly neighbour who happens to be handy with a wrench!

1. Start with your name and where you live
   Just tell us your name and address first so we can check we cover your part of Cornwall. If you’re not sure, no problem, we’ll check that straight away.

3. Have you had a go yourself?
   Nothing wrong with a bit of plumbing DIY! It just helps to know if you’ve already tried to fix it, so we can come prepared with the right tools and parts.

4. When’s best for you?
   Tell us when you’ll be home or what days suit you best. We’ll do our best to fit you in quickly and keep things simple.

Basically - you call, tell us what’s up, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Everything You Need to Know Before Calling Rob the Plumber in Cornwall

Let’s be honest, most of us don’t give much thought to plumbing until something starts dripping, gurgling, or flooding! Whether it’s a leaky tap, dodgy water pressure, or you’re planning a full bathroom makeover, knowing when (and how) to call a plumber can save you a lot of time, money, and stress.

We’ve put together answers to some of the most common questions we get from people all over Cornwall — from tiny leaks to full-blown emergencies.

Is it worth calling a plumber for a small plumbing job?

In short — yes! Small plumbing problems have a sneaky way of turning into big ones if left alone.
That little drip-drip from the tap might not seem like a big deal now, but it can waste loads of water (and money) over time. Same goes for slow drains or odd banging noises in your pipes — they’re often early signs of something bigger.

Give Rob the Plumber a quick call, and we’ll sort it before it becomes a headache. A quick visit now can save you hundreds later — and a lot of stress!

Should I try to fix the plumbing myself or call a plumber?

There’s nothing wrong with giving DIY a go — we love a bit of home problem-solving!
Simple jobs like clearing a basic sink blockage or replacing a washer can often be done safely with a bit of guidance.

But plumbing can get complicated quickly. One small mistake can lead to leaks, damage, or even bigger repair bills later.
If you’re unsure, it’s always better to call Rob the Plumber. We don’t just patch up the surface problem — we make sure your whole system’s working safely and properly.

Is it difficult to get hold of a plumber when you need one?

We get it — when something’s gone wrong, the last thing you want is to wait around for help.
That’s why we do things a bit differently. Rob the Plumber covers all of Cornwall with reliable plumbing repairs, installations, and 24-hour emergency call-outs.

For regular jobs, we’ll usually get the work done within about 5 days.
For emergencies, we’ll always try to be there the same day — wherever you are in Cornwall.

How to Find a Trustworthy Local Plumber in Cornwall

If your tap’s dripping, your radiator’s leaking, or your toilet won’t flush, finding the right plumber can feel a bit daunting. But don’t worry — with a little research, it’s easy to find someone reliable.

Here’s where to start:

• Ask around — friends, family, neighbours… word of mouth is gold.

• Check with other trades — a good builder, sparky, or decorator will usually know a decent plumber.

• Look online — directories, local listings, and customer reviews can tell you a lot.

• Check feedback — consistency is key. Lots of happy customers usually means a job well done.

Rob the Plumber has built a solid reputation here in Cornwall for being professional, trustworthy, and committed to quality work — keeping your home safe, warm, and running smoothly.

What should I look for when choosing a plumber in Cornwall?

Keep an eye out for these green flags:

• Clear communication – They explain the problem (and the fix) in plain English.

• Transparency – No hidden fees or surprises on the bill.

• Professionalism – Turns up when they say they will, keeps things tidy, and treats your home with respect.

• Qualifications – Properly certified and insured.

• Aftercare – Happy to come back if something’s not quite right.

We take pride in our work and in building long-term relationships with our customers across Cornwall — that’s what keeps us doing what we love.

How do I compare different plumbers in Cornwall?

It’s always smart to get two or three quotes — just make sure you’re comparing like-for-like.
Some quotes include materials, VAT, or extra bits that others don’t, so don’t be afraid to ask what’s covered.

Also, pay attention to how each plumber communicates. If someone’s slow to reply, vague about prices, or avoids your questions — that’s a red flag.

What’s the best way to shop around for plumbing services in Cornwall?

Be open about what you need and ask for a clear quote.
The more detail you can give — like photos, videos, or a quick description — the easier it is for us to give you an accurate price.

And if you’re comparing quotes, that’s totally fine! Just let us know — we’ll still do our best to give you a fair price and honest advice

I’ve been helping families and homeowners across Cornwall for years with everything from leaky taps to full bathroom installations. I’m based locally, and I believe in good, honest work done properly — no fuss, no hidden costs, just reliable service when you need it.

I know how stressful plumbing problems can be, especially when something suddenly goes wrong. That’s why I always aim to keep things simple: I turn up when I say I will, explain what’s going on in plain English, and make sure the job’s done right before I leave.

Whether it’s a small repair, a new kitchen tap, or an emergency call-out in the middle of the night, you can count on me to get things back to normal as quickly as possible.

At the end of the day, it’s about trust — and that’s something I take seriously. Most of my work comes from happy customers recommending me to their neighbours, and that means the world to me.
