Should I repair or replace my pipes if I have a leak?

Leaks are a sign that your supply pipe is wearing out and often repairing one leak may cause a leak on other parts of the pipe, especially for older pipes in poor condition.

It may benefit you to consider replacing your pipe to prevent future leaks, particularly if you’ve had difficulty repairing in the past because of location and material of your pipe.

You can report a leak on your private supply pipe here.

There's more information available in our Code of practice on leakage for domestic customers.
