No hot water? Immersion & cylinder repairs in Dublin

A cold shower on a Monday morning is nobody's idea of a good start. We repair and replace immersions, hot water cylinders and pumps, usually the same day.

Most Dublin homes heat water with an immersion, a hot water cylinder in the hot press, or a pump feeding the shower. When one of them fails you either get no hot water, lukewarm water, or a shower that's suddenly gone to a dribble. We find which part has gone and get it working again fast.

What we fix

  • Burnt-out immersion elements and failed immersion thermostats
  • Leaking or corroded hot water cylinders
  • Weak showers caused by a failed or airlocked pump
  • Water that's scalding hot or never hot enough
  • Noisy, banging or slow-to-heat cylinders

Signs your cylinder or immersion is on the way out

  • Hot water runs out far quicker than it used to
  • Rusty or discoloured water from the hot taps
  • Damp or a small pool of water around the cylinder in the hot press
  • The immersion keeps tripping the fuseboard
Cylinder leaking? Switch off the immersion at the wall, turn off the water supply to the cylinder, and ring us on (01) 524 0148. A leaking cylinder can do a lot of damage overnight.

Repair or replace?

We'll always tell you straight. A new element or thermostat is a cheap fix and worth doing on a sound cylinder. But if the cylinder itself is corroded and leaking, throwing parts at it is a false economy, and we'll quote you for a modern, better-insulated replacement that costs less to run.

Where we cover

We repair hot water systems across Dublin, including Rathmines, Clontarf and Dún Laoghaire. Send us your Eircode to confirm.

Who this isn't for

Gas boiler servicing and repairs are separate work. We're RGII registered, so if the issue turns out to be your boiler rather than the cylinder, we can talk you through it, but full boiler servicing is booked as its own job.

Common questions

Why have I no hot water?
The usual culprits are a burnt-out immersion element, a failed thermostat, or a stuck pump. We'll diagnose it on the visit and tell you whether it's a repair or a replacement.
Can you replace a cylinder same day?
Often yes. If it's a standard copper or stainless cylinder we can usually source and fit it the same day.
My immersion keeps tripping the fuseboard, why?
That's usually a failing element letting water reach the electrics. Stop using it and book a repair, it's not something to leave running.
