Immersion heater not heating the water
An immersion heater is the electric element inside a hot water cylinder, and a cold tank means that element, its thermostat or its supply needs repair.
- No hot water at the tapsThe tank is full but the water stays cold because the immersion is not switching on.
- The cylinder trips the supplyThe cylinder warms a little then the supply trips, so the element, thermostat and switch are tested.
- Immersion heater repair for landlordsTenants without hot water need the immersion tested, repaired and left with the paperwork the job needs.
- Immersion heater repair for businessesStaff rooms, washrooms and kitchens that rely on a cylinder are booked around the premises so the water is back on.
What happens on the day
TMB Electrics starts at the cylinder, finds why it is not heating, fits the repair, then leaves hot water and written hours and parts.
- Tests at the cylinderThe supply to the immersion is isolated, then the element, thermostat and switch are tested with the cylinder in place.
- Fitting the failed partWhen a part has failed it is named, the cylinder is drained if that part has to come out, and the replacement is fitted.
- Leaving the tank heatingThe tank is refilled and powered, checked as it heats, and you leave with written hours and parts.

WhatsAppHow much does immersion heater repair cost?
Immersion heater and hot water repair with TMB Electrics starts from £80 an hour. That rate is labour, so an element, thermostat or switch is added if it is fitted. A written total is given before the part goes into the cylinder.
Can you repair the immersion without replacing the cylinder?
Yes, TMB Electrics repairs the immersion when the tank is sound and the fault is the element, thermostat, switch or supply. A new cylinder is not part of this repair. If the tank itself cannot be used, that is said before any further work starts.
Is the water off while the immersion is repaired?
The cylinder is isolated for the tests, and it is drained only when an element or seal has to come out. The rest of the house keeps its water unless the job needs that off too. TMB Electrics refills the tank and leaves it heating before the visit ends.
Do I get paperwork after the repair?
TMB Electrics leaves written hours and parts for every immersion heater repair. Testing is done on the supply and the new part before the cylinder is left on. A minor works certificate starts from £80 when the job needs one.
What happens after I book an immersion heater repair?
The booking line takes the cylinder details at any time, then TMB Electrics plans the visit around the property. On the day the immersion is tested, the failed part is named and the repair is fitted. You are left with hot water and written hours and parts.
