Found a leak near your hot water cylinder?
Do not ignore it. We can help you work out what is leaking and what needs to happen next.
A leaking hot water cylinder can be stressful, messy and expensive if it is left too long. Mr Cylinder helps Christchurch homeowners quickly identify whether the leak can be repaired or whether the cylinder needs replacing.
A leaking cylinder leaves you guessing how bad it really is
When you see water around your hot water cylinder, it is not always obvious where the leak is coming from. It could be a valve, pipework, fittings, the overflow, or the cylinder itself.
The worry is not just the water. It is not knowing whether you are facing a small repair, a full replacement, damaged flooring, or no hot water for the family.
That is why Mr Cylinder was created.
We give Christchurch homeowners one clear place to call when their hot water cylinder starts leaking. We assess the issue, explain what is happening, and give you practical repair-or-replace advice without the runaround.
We help you stop guessing and start fixing
The first step is working out where the leak is coming from. Once we know that, we can tell you whether repair is sensible or whether replacing the cylinder is the safer long-term option.

Common questions about leaking hot water cylinders
Is a leaking hot water cylinder serious?
It can be. Some leaks are minor, but others can point to cylinder failure. It is best to get it checked before the leak causes more damage.
Can a leaking hot water cylinder be repaired?
Sometimes. If the leak is from a valve, fitting or pipework, repair may be possible. If the cylinder itself has failed, replacement is usually the better option.
Should I turn off my hot water cylinder if it is leaking?
If water is spreading or you are worried about safety, call us for advice. We can talk you through the next step and arrange an assessment.
How do I know where the leak is coming from?
It can be hard to tell without checking the system. Water can travel, so the visible puddle is not always where the actual leak starts.
Will I need a new hot water cylinder?
Not always. We will inspect the issue and explain whether a repair makes sense or whether replacement is the smarter long-term choice.
