Boiler Repair in Bath

When your boiler stops working in Bath, you need a fast, professional response that understands the unique challenges of the city’s historic homes. From Georgian terraces in Lansdown to Victorian houses in Bear Flat and older properties in Widcombe, SNT Plumbing and Heating specialises in boiler repair tailored to Bath’s older housing stock. We know how to navigate listed building restrictions, sensitive flue routing, and common issues caused by hard water limescale that can affect your heating system’s performance.

Our Boiler Repair Promise in Bath

At SNT Plumbing and Heating, we deliver rapid fault finding and expert repairs across Bath, including Oldfield Park, Twerton, Bathwick, Combe Down, Larkhall and central Bath. We understand that parking and access can be tight in areas like the city centre and Lansdown, so we plan our visits to minimise disruption. Our Gas Safe-registered engineers are experienced with older pipework and radiators typical of Bath’s homes, ensuring repairs cause minimal disturbance while restoring your heating efficiently.

Common Boiler Faults We Fix

• No heat or hot water: This is often caused by faulty valves, thermostat controls, or ignition problems. These issues prevent the boiler from firing up properly, leaving you without warmth or hot water when you need it most.  
• Leaking boilers or pipework: Leaks are common in older systems where joints, seals, or pipework can weaken over time. Even small leaks can cause damage, increase water bills, and reduce system efficiency.  
• Low pressure: This usually results from leaks within the system or problems with the expansion vessel, which helps regulate pressure. Low pressure can cause the boiler to shut down or heat unevenly.  
• Strange noises: Unusual sounds like banging, whistling, or kettling often indicate limescale build-up in the heat exchanger or trapped air in the system. These noises can signal inefficient heating and potential damage if ignored.  
• Pilot light or ignition failures: Older boilers frequently suffer from pilot light outages or ignition faults, which require careful, sensitive servicing to restore safe and reliable operation.  
• Error codes: Modern boilers display error codes to pinpoint faults. We use specialised diagnostic tools and expert knowledge to quickly interpret and fix these issues, ensuring your boiler runs smoothly again.

What to Do Before Calling for Repairs

Before contacting SNT Plumbing and Heating, it’s helpful to do some safe checks. Ensure your boiler is turned off and that any visible leaks are contained to prevent water damage. If you smell gas or suspect a serious fault, stop using the boiler immediately and call the National Gas Emergency Service. For non-emergency issues, a quick check of your system pressure or pilot light status can help us diagnose the problem faster when we arrive.

Gas Safe Safety and Quality Parts Sourcing

Safety is paramount, particularly in Bath’s older properties with complex pipework and listed building considerations. Our Gas Safe-registered engineers follow strict safety protocols and use only high-quality, manufacturer-approved replacement parts. Whether your boiler is a Worcester Bosch in Larkhall or a Vaillant in Combe Down, we source genuine components to ensure reliable, long-lasting repairs.
