Water Tank Replacement
& Repair in Bristol
Commercial water tank replacement, repair and installation across Bristol, Bath and the South West.
From city-centre office blocks and Harbourside apartments to hotels, student accommodation and new developments, Bristol’s commercial buildings depend on reliable cold water storage. When a tank is corroded, leaking, badly insulated or no longer meets current water regulations, Express Water Tanks provides a complete replacement service designed around keeping your building running.
Water Tank Replacement in Bristol
We replace failing steel and GRP tanks across Bristol and the surrounding area, including Bath, Weston-super-Mare and South Gloucestershire. Our engineers remove the old tank, install a new one-piece, two-piece or sectional tank sized to how the building is used today, and chlorinate the system before handover. A mains bypass or temporary tank keeps water available to occupants throughout the work where required.

How a Bristol Tank Replacement Works
1. Survey – an experienced, certified engineer inspects the existing tank, access and pipework.
2. Quotation and RAMS – a detailed quotation with a risk assessment, method statement and estimated timescale of works.
3. Temporary supply – where needed, a mains bypass or temporary tank keeps the building supplied.
4. Removal and installation – the old tank is removed and disposed of responsibly and the new tank installed, in a plant room, loft, on a rooftop or outdoors.
5. Chlorination and handover – the new tank and pipework are chlorinated before going back into service.
