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 and get the settlement you deserve.

You was absolutely amazing in helping me with my case and I could not have hoped for a better solicitor. I came in expecting to get a couple grand in injuries from a car crash and I left with £18,750. Absolutely brilliant service and I could not be more ecstatic about the results thank you for all the help and I will be referring everyone I know to you.

I had an injury at a major Supermarket so I contacted several solicitors to make a claim for compensation. Most stated that the compensation I would receive would not be worth making a claim. Marley Solicitors stated the opposite and a claim was made. I was very surprised that I was offered more compensation than the claim put forward by Marley Solicitors. Yasmin was my Solicitor and she did a fantastic job, keeping me informed of the whole process putting me at ease. I would not hesitate to contact Marley Solicitors if I need there advice in the future Thanks for a job well done. Regards Peter.

I was dealing with housing disrepair and poor accommodation standards. Marley Solicitors was recommended to me by a friend after they had received amazing support from them. I had the pleasure of speaking with Yasmin and having her help me for the entirety of the case. She was very informative and explained very well what was going on and what the next steps to take were going to be. In the end, she helped us receive substantial compensation from our housing association, more that we thought we were going to get. They worked swiftly and effectively without delaying anything. I definitely recommend them to anyone having legal trouble. Thank you to Yasmin and her team!
