Tap, leak and toilet repair
Water problems get out of hand quickly in Rotterdam, especially in a flat with neighbours below. Limescale builds up in taps, old pipes in pre-war houses start to leak, and a toilet that keeps running wastes water and money. A drip or a slow drain is a signal. Handyman Rotterdam finds the source, explains it and stops it before it reaches the ceiling downstairs.
What we do
We handle everyday plumbing: sealing leaks, replacing taps, securing loose pipes and clearing slow drains. Shower heads, toilets and washbasins too. Gas and central heating we leave to a certified installer.

Slow drains, limescale and dripping taps
Hard mains water leaves limescale that slows the flow and wears taps out. In older houses pipes settle, so joints start to drip. We also see cylinders leaking at the base and toilets that will not flush. That comes with this housing stock, and we know where to look. In a Rotterdam flat a drip under the sink is rarely just the tap: limescale, a tired hose and a trap that no longer sits straight often come together. We also check whether water has already reached the floor or the cabinet, and whether the gutter outside is actually dry.
Why a leak matters quickly here
One drip a second is thousands of litres a year. Under a sink the cabinet goes soft, and in a flat it soaks the ceiling below. Damp air and rain keep walls wet longer, so a small leak grows faster. One visit now saves plaster and a new floor later.
What we check before we start
If the sink leaks we look at the trap, the hoses and the stop valve, not only the drip. If the toilet keeps running we open the cistern. We say what the cause is in plain words, so you know what is happening.
