BAL Leak Clear by Bathroom Adaptations Ltd
Water leak repair and hidden-leak detection in Hamilton and Lanarkshire
BAL Leak Clear offers two domestic water leak services: investigation and repair of visible or accessible leaks, and specialist non-destructive detection of hidden leaks. We serve homes in Hamilton, Lanarkshire and nearby Central Scotland, and every repair price is quoted before work starts.
Two services
1. Visible leak investigation and repair — £99 attendance
For leaks you can see or reach: dripping pipes, fittings, radiators, tanks and similar. The £99 fee covers attendance and the first 45 minutes on site. If we can repair the leak within that time, there is no extra labour charge — you pay only for materials on top of the £99. If the repair needs longer, we agree any additional labour and materials price with you before continuing; the £99 still covers the first 45 minutes.
2. Hidden-leak detection — £295
For suspected leaks you cannot see, such as behind walls, under floors or in ceilings. £295 covers non-destructive investigation of one suspected area for up to 2 hours, followed by our findings and a recommendation on next steps. Detection does not include repair, opening up, or reinstatement — if more time, more areas, or destructive access is needed, we agree a separate price with you before proceeding. Detection and any repair are agreed and priced separately.

Common questions
- Who is BAL Leak Clear?
- BAL Leak Clear is the domestic water leak service of Bathroom Adaptations Ltd, based in Hamilton and serving homes in Hamilton, Lanarkshire and nearby Central Scotland.
- What two services do you offer?
- First, investigation and repair of ordinary visible or accessible domestic water leaks, from a £99 fee covering attendance and the first 45 minutes on site — if repaired within that time there is no extra labour charge, only materials. Second, specialist hidden-leak detection at £295 for one suspected area and up to 2 hours of non-destructive investigation, with findings and a next-step recommendation.
- What does the £99 fee cover?
- £99 is paid upfront and covers attendance and the first 45 minutes on site. If we can repair the leak within that time, there is no extra labour charge — you pay only for materials on top of the £99. If the repair needs longer, we agree any additional labour and materials price with you before continuing; the £99 still covers the first 45 minutes.
- What does the £295 hidden-leak detection include?
- Non-destructive investigation of one suspected area for up to 2 hours, followed by our findings and a recommendation on next steps. It does not include repair, opening up, or reinstatement. If more time, more areas, or destructive access is needed, we agree a separate price with you before proceeding. Detection and any repair are agreed and priced separately.
- How much will the repair cost?
- If the repair fits within the first 45 minutes, you pay only for materials on top of the £99. If it needs longer, we agree the additional labour and materials price with you before continuing — there is no double charge for the first 45 minutes.
- Do you offer emergency appointments?
- Only when one is available. An emergency visible-leak appointment is £149: attendance and the first 45 minutes, including a single £50 emergency premium. Materials are extra if we fix it within that time, and any extra work is agreed with you before proceeding.
- Do you deal with gas leaks or Scottish Water pipes?
- No. BAL Leak Clear handles water leaks only, never gas. A leak on Scottish Water's main or communication pipe, before your property boundary, should be reported to Scottish Water.
- Can you guarantee finding a hidden leak or insurance approval?
- No. We investigate carefully, but we cannot guarantee locating every hidden leak or that an insurer will approve a claim.
