What we do

Boilers, bathrooms & plumbing Maldon homeowners call us for

Two jobs make up most of our plumbing work: replacing a boiler that's had its day, and turning a dated bathroom into one people actually want to use. Everything else — leaks, blockages, radiators, taps — we fix along the way.

  • Boiler replacement

    Old back boiler or tired combi swapped for a modern A-rated condensing boiler, sized properly for the house rather than the biggest one on the van. Gas Safe registered, Building Control notified and the guarantee registered for you.

  • Boiler repairs & servicing

    No heating, no hot water, pressure dropping, a flashing fault code or the boiler locking out. We diagnose first and tell you honestly whether it's a £150 part or a boiler on its last legs.

  • Full bathroom installation

    One team from strip-out to finish — plumbing, tiling, electrics, extractor, plastering and decorating. No juggling four trades and no bathroom sitting half done for a fortnight.

  • Wet rooms & walk-in showers

    Tanked wet rooms, low-level trays, thermostatic showers and grab rails. Popular with older homeowners swapping a bath they can no longer climb into.

  • Leaks, bursts & emergencies

    Burst pipes, dripping ceilings, leaking radiator valves and overflowing cisterns. We isolate the water, stop the damage and repair properly rather than patch it.

  • Blockages & drainage

    Blocked toilets, slow sinks, gurgling showers and outside gullies cleared, plus soil pipe and waste re-runs when the fall was wrong in the first place.

  • Radiators & heating upgrades

    New and moved radiators, designer and vertical panels, thermostatic valves, smart thermostats, powerflushing sludged systems and full heating pipework renewals.

  • Cylinders & water pressure

    Unvented cylinder installation and servicing, pumps for weak showers, and mains pressure problems sorted — a common one in older Essex properties on original pipework.

Costs & straight answers

What boilers, bathrooms & plumbing cost in Maldon

Real numbers for a home in CM9, and the honest version of repair versus replace.

  • Boiler replacement cost

    A straight combi-for-combi swap in a three-bed home is typically £1,900–£2,800 fitted. A system-to-combi conversion with pipework changes and a full flush runs nearer £3,000–£3,800. Price includes flue, filter, controls and certification.

  • Bathroom installation cost

    A full bathroom, everything supplied and fitted, is usually £5,500–£9,000 depending on tiling area and suite. A cloakroom or small en-suite starts around £2,800. Labour-only fits where you supply the suite are cheaper.

  • Call-out & small jobs

    Leaks, blockages, taps, valves and small repairs start from £95. We quote the job, not an open-ended hourly rate that grows while you watch.

  • Boiler servicing

    An annual service is £85 and keeps the manufacturer's guarantee valid. Landlord gas safety certificates (CP12) are £75, or £60 alongside a service.

  • Guarantees

    Boilers carry up to 12 years' manufacturer warranty depending on the brand, registered by us. Our own workmanship is guaranteed and bathrooms come with a written guarantee too.

  • Gas Safe & insured

    All gas work is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers, with £5m public liability behind every job and no deposit taken on standard work.

Our process

How a Maldon boiler or bathroom job runs

  1. Step 1

    Call or WhatsApp

    Tell us what's happening — or send a photo of the boiler badge or the bathroom. Most jobs we can price or triage the same day.

  2. Step 2

    Free survey & fixed quote

    For boilers and bathrooms we come out, measure, check the gas supply, flue route and pipework, then give you one fixed written price. No deposit, no pressure.

  3. Step 3

    Choose the kit

    We'll show you real options — Worcester, Vaillant, Ideal, and bathroom suites and tiles to your budget — with the running costs and guarantee lengths explained.

  4. Step 4

    Booked-in start date

    You get a date and a start time, not a nine-hour window. Floors and carpets are protected before anything is lifted.

  5. Step 5

    The work

    Boiler swaps are usually one day, bathrooms five to ten. The water and heating go back on each evening wherever it's physically possible.

  6. Step 6

    Test, certify & clear up

    System flushed and balanced, gas safety and Building Control paperwork issued, guarantee registered, everything cleaned down and all old kit taken away.

Local detail

Plumbing in and around Maldon

Homes across Maldon and CM9 run from Victorian terraces on original pipework to new estates with unvented cylinders. These are the things we check before quoting here.

  • Back boilers & 1970s systems

    Plenty of Maldon homes still run an old back boiler behind the fire or a gravity-fed system in the loft. Converting to a combi frees up the airing cupboard but needs the pipework checked properly first.

  • Hard water & limescale

    Water across CM9 is hard. Limescale furs up heat exchangers, shower cartridges and immersion elements, so we fit scale reducers on new boilers here as standard.

  • Victorian & period properties

    Older Maldon houses often hide lead or steel pipework, buried valves and bathrooms added into old bedrooms. We allow for it at survey rather than discovering it mid-job.

  • New-build & estate homes

    Newer Maldon estates usually have a system boiler and unvented cylinder. They're quick to service but need an annual check to keep the manufacturer's guarantee valid.

  • Cold weather bursts

    Every Essex cold snap brings frozen condensate pipes and burst loft pipework. Lagging and a wider condensate run prevent most of the calls we get in January.

  • Bathrooms in extensions & lofts

    Adding an en-suite in a loft or extension around Maldon usually means new soil runs, a shower pump and a boiler that can cope with two outlets at once — we plan all three together.

Why OMP

Why use us for plumbing in Maldon

  • Builders as well as plumbers

    When the bathroom floor is rotten, the wall isn't square or the soil pipe needs moving, it's the same firm fixing it — not three trades blaming each other.

  • Repair before replace

    If your boiler is worth fixing we'll fix it. We won't talk a working eight-year-old boiler into an early grave to sell an installation.

  • Fixed written prices

    One price after a real survey, itemised. No hourly creep, no surprise extras at the end and no deposit up front on standard work.

  • Gas Safe registered

    Every gas appliance installed, serviced and certified to current regulations, with Building Control notification handled for you.

  • Clean, tidy and on time

    Floors sheeted, dust controlled, water back on every night where possible, and every bit of old kit taken away when we finish.

  • 4.9★ from 305+ reviews

    Family-run and local, working across Colchester and Essex on reputation and repeat work.

FAQs

Plumbers Maldon — your questions answered

How much does a new boiler cost in Maldon?+

A like-for-like combi boiler replacement in Maldon is typically £1,900–£2,800 fitted, including the flue, magnetic filter, controls, certification and guarantee registration. Converting an old system or back boiler to a combi usually lands between £3,000 and £3,800 because of the extra pipework, the cylinder removal and a full system flush. You get one fixed written price after a survey and we take no deposit.

How much does a new bathroom cost in Maldon?+

A full bathroom in Maldon — strip-out, plumbing, electrics, tiling, suite and decorating — is usually £5,500–£9,000 depending on the size of the room, how much tiling there is and the suite you choose. Small en-suites and cloakrooms start around £2,800. If you buy the suite and tiles yourself, we'll quote labour only.

How long does a boiler swap take?+

A straight swap in the same position is a one-day job and you'll normally have heating and hot water back the same evening. Moving the boiler to another room, or converting from a cylinder system to a combi, is two to three days. We give you a start date and a start time rather than an all-day window.

How long does a bathroom take?+

Five to ten working days for a standard Maldon bathroom, start to finish, with the same team throughout. Wet rooms and any job needing new soil pipework or floor repairs sit at the longer end. We'll tell you at quote stage which days the room is out of use.

Are you Gas Safe registered?+

Yes — all gas work is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers, and we notify Building Control on every boiler installation so your paperwork is in order for warranty, insurance and any future house sale. Anyone touching a gas appliance without that registration is working illegally, so always ask to see the card.

Do you do emergency call-outs in Maldon?+

Yes — burst pipes, leaks coming through ceilings, no heating in cold weather and blocked toilets. Call or WhatsApp us and we'll tell you straight away when we can be there, and talk you through isolating the water in the meantime so the damage stops now rather than when we arrive.

Should I repair or replace my boiler?+

As a rule of thumb, if the boiler is under eight years old and the part is under about a third of replacement cost, repair it. Past twelve years, with parts getting scarce and repeat faults, replacement usually pays for itself in efficiency alone. We diagnose the actual fault first and tell you which side of that line you're on.

Can you convert my bath into a walk-in shower?+

Yes — it's one of the most common jobs we do around Maldon, particularly for older homeowners. We remove the bath, adjust the waste and hot and cold runs, tank and tile the area, fit a low-level tray or a full wet-room floor, and add a thermostatic shower and grab rails where they're wanted. Usually three to five days.

Why is my water pressure poor?+

In older CM9 properties it's normally the original narrow pipework, a partially closed stop tap, a furred-up cylinder or a gravity-fed loft tank with barely any head above the shower. Each has a different fix — a pump, a cylinder change, new pipework or a combi conversion — so it's worth having it looked at rather than guessing.

Are you insured and guaranteed?+

Yes — £5m public liability on every job, Gas Safe registration for gas work, manufacturer warranties up to 12 years on new boilers registered by us, and a written guarantee on our own workmanship. No deposit is taken on standard work; you pay when the job is done and you're happy with it.
