Loose banisters, faulty boiler, faulty locks, broken kitchen fittings, or cracked bathroom tiles, broken fixtures can make daily life frustrating, uncomfortable, and even dangerous. If your landlord has failed to repair broken or unsafe fixtures in your rented home, Marley Solicitors can help you take action and claim the compensation you may be entitled to.

Broken fixtures are a form of housing disrepair

Fixtures are essential parts of your home, items like doors, windows, taps, cupboards, light fittings, and sockets. When these are broken or unsafe, they can:

Cause injuries or pose safety risks
Affect your ability to cook, clean, or bathe
Reduce the security and comfort of your home
Lead to further damage or disrepair if left unresolved

These issues aren’t just inconvenient, they can seriously impact your quality of life, and your landlord is legally responsible for keeping them in good condition.

Your landlord’s responsibilities

Under UK law, landlords must ensure that fixtures and fittings are safe, working, and properly maintained. This includes:

Repairing or replacing faulty boilers
Fixing broken door handles, locks, and windows
Repairing faulty plumbing, taps, or shower fittings
Replacing damaged electrical sockets or light fittings
Repairing or replacing damaged kitchen or bathroom units
Making sure all fixtures are secure, clean, and usable

If you’ve reported these issues and your landlord hasn’t resolved them within a reasonable time, you may have grounds to make a housing disrepair claim.
