Hi all,
My sister has aTelford Tornado unvented copper hot water tank which was fitted about 8 years ago. It has now sprung a leak from a lower outlet. The outlet has a threaded fitting, but the leak appears to be coming from the fitting that is part of the tank rather than the joint at the screwed connection. The plumber said the tank should be replaced and has quoted over £1000. Another plumber said the tank could be repaired but it would have to be removed for repairs in his workshop and has quoted £500 for the job. What does the repair entail? Any readers/experts have a suggestion please? Many thanks
