What we do
Plumbing and heating, done properly the first time
One local team for the drip that’s driving you mad and the full bathroom you’ve been putting off. Everything below is work we do week in, week out across Doncaster.
Leak detection & repair
Tracing the leak you can hear but can’t see, then fixing it properly — joints, traps, valves, pipework under floors.
Boiler repair
No heating, no hot water, pressure dropping, error codes. We diagnose it first and tell you honestly whether it’s worth repairing.
Boiler installation
Combi swaps, system boilers with unvented cylinders, full flue and pipework replacement, tidy and tested before we leave.
Bathroom installation
Full bathroom refits — strip out, first fix, tiling, suite, brassware and finishing. One team from start to finish.
Radiators & heating
New rads, vertical and designer panels, valve swaps, moving a radiator, balancing a system that’s heating unevenly.
Taps, showers & toilets
Dripping taps, seized shut-off valves, new shower systems, wall-hung WCs, vanity units and outside taps.
Blockages & drains
Slow sinks, blocked toilets, gurgling waste pipes and smells — cleared and checked so it doesn’t come straight back.

What customers say about Plumber To The Rescue
Word for word from customers of Plumber To The Rescue. Nothing edited, nothing tidied up.
★★★★★
The plumber fixed a leaking trap and shut-off valve underneath my kitchen sink. It was an emergency job and he came straight away at 21:00 in the evening. He was prompt in attending my call and offered a professional service at a fair price. We will definitely be calling plumber to the rescue back again to assist with the installation of our dishwasher.
★★★★★
Perfect professional service when my boiler was working fitted a new one the next day great price
Used again to get my bathroom fitted
Very clean and tidy reliable and very hardworking will use again
★★★★★
Had a great experience and would 100% recommend! We had a leak in our washer and a previous leak under the bathroom sink. The team was able to address both issues and also caught a small leak in our washer hose that could have caused problems later. You can tell they put a lot of honesty and care into their work. We’ve had our fair share of bad plumber experiences, but with them, we really appreciated how we were shown the root of each problem and kept informed throughout. They also made sure to test everything multiple times to ensure the issues were fully resolved.
★★★★★

Why us
What it’s actually like using us
A plumber answers, not a call centre
You get through to the person who’ll be doing the job. No hold music, no ticket number, no being passed around.
We show you the actual problem
Before we fix anything we show you what’s causing it and why. Customers tell us that’s the bit they remember.
Priced before we start
You get the figure up front. If we find something else once the panel is off, we stop and tell you rather than adding it to the bill.
Tested more than once
Every joint, valve and appliance gets run and re-checked before we pack up, so you’re not ringing us back next week.
FAQ
Questions we get asked a lot
If the answer you need isn’t here, ring us on 01302 438049 and just ask.
Do you really answer the phone at night?
Yes. There’s no answering service and no queue — you ring 01302 438049 and a plumber picks up, whatever time it is. One of our customers rang at 21:00 with a leaking trap under the kitchen sink and we were there the same evening.
How quickly can you get to me in Doncaster?
For a genuine emergency — water coming through a ceiling, a burst pipe, no water in the house — we aim to be with you the same day, and usually within a couple of hours. We’re based locally, so we’re not driving over from another county.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No. Quotes are free and there’s no obligation. We’ll tell you what’s wrong and what it costs before any work starts, so nothing on the bill is a surprise.
Are you Gas Safe registered?
Yes — we’re Gas Safe registered, which is a legal requirement for anyone working on gas boilers and appliances in the UK. Always ask any engineer to show you their card before they touch your boiler.
My boiler has broken — repair it or replace it?
We diagnose first and tell you honestly. A lot of faults are a part worth replacing rather than a whole new boiler. If the repair genuinely doesn’t make financial sense on an older unit, we’ll say so and quote for both so you can choose.
Can you find a leak if I don’t know where it is?
Yes. Damp patches, dropping boiler pressure and the sound of running water with everything off are all signs of a hidden leak. We trace it before we start lifting floors, so we open up as little as possible and fix the actual cause.
Do you fit whole bathrooms, or just the plumbing?
Whole bathrooms. Strip out, first fix, tiling, the suite, brassware, shower and finishing — one team from start to finish so you’re not chasing three different trades.
Will you make a mess?
We dust-sheet, we clean up and we take the old parts away. Customers mention it in reviews more than anything else, so it matters to us.
What should I do while I wait for you in an emergency?
Turn the water off at the stopcock — usually under the kitchen sink or near the front door. If water is anywhere near lights or sockets, switch that circuit off at the consumer unit. Then ring us on 01302 438049 and we’ll talk you through the rest.
Which areas around Doncaster do you cover?
Doncaster, Bessacarr, Bentley, Balby, Wheatley, Armthorpe, Edenthorpe, Sprotbrough, Cantley, Kirk Sandall, Adwick, Rossington, Tickhill, Conisbrough and the rest of Doncaster. If your village isn’t on the list, ring anyway — we cover most of South Yorkshire.
