FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal in Bristol needs professional repair or part replacement?
Warning signs include persistent clogs or slow draining even after resetting the unit, loud metal-on-metal grinding noises, water leaking from the bottom or side seals, the motor only humming without spinning, frequent tripped breakers, and foul odours that cleaning tablets cannot remove. If you notice any of these issues, shut the unit off at the wall switch and mains, then book a service call—continuing to run a failing disposal can damage pipes and the kitchen sink flange.
Do you really use genuine replacement parts for every garbage disposal repair?
Yes. We source factory-authorised parts directly from manufacturers such as InSinkErator, WasteMaid, KitchenAid and Franke. Genuine parts guarantee an exact fit, maintain the unit’s CE and UKCA safety certifications, and preserve any existing manufacturer warranty. Aftermarket components may be cheaper up-front but often wear prematurely, void warranties and can compromise electrical safety, so we do not use them.
How quickly can you come out to my Bristol property and how long does a typical repair take?
For most Bristol postcodes we offer same-day or next-day attendance, including evenings and Saturdays. A standard repair—such as replacing a splash guard, grinding plate, or reset switch—takes 30–60 minutes once on site. More involved jobs like motor or chamber replacement can run 90–120 minutes. We carry the most common genuine spares on our vans, so over 85% of repairs are completed in a single visit.
Which garbage disposal brands and models can you service?
Our engineers are certified to repair all major UK-supplied disposers: InSinkErator (Badger, Evolution, Model 66/46/56 ranges), WasteMaid Elite and Pro lines, KitchenAid, Franke Turbo Elite, Bone Crusher, and select Hotpoint and Whirlpool units. If your model is older or obscure, provide the serial number when booking; we’ll confirm parts availability before attending.
What kind of warranty do you provide on the repair and the replacement parts?
Every repair includes a 12-month labour warranty from us and the full manufacturer’s parts warranty—normally 1–5 years depending on the component. Should the same fault reoccur within our 12-month labour period, we’ll return free of charge. All warranty terms are issued in writing on your electronic invoice for easy reference.
Can I fix my garbage disposal myself, or is it safer to call a professional plumber?
Minor issues like pressing the reset button, clearing visible food debris with tongs, or running ice cubes to clean the grind ring can be DIY. However, tasks that involve removing the unit, replacing seals, wiring a new motor, or dealing with leaks near electrical components should be left to a qualified plumber-electrician. Bristol Building Regulations Part P require competent handling of kitchen electrics, and improper repair can lead to electric shocks, wasted water, or insurance refusals. Our engineers are NICEIC-registered and carry liability cover for your peace of mind.
