Our Plumbing Services in Dubai

One team for every plumbing job, from a dripping tap to a hidden wall leak or a full bathroom installation.

Leak Detection & Water Leak Repair

Leaks are sneaky: the water you see is often just the edge of a problem building behind a wall or under a floor. We locate the exact source first, so any opening is small and targeted, not a demolition. We repair concealed pipe leaks, ceiling and wall leaks, bathroom and kitchen leaks and worn pipe joints, then finish the area properly. Need the wall or ceiling repainted afterwards? See our painting services. If a leak affects a neighbouring unit, tell your landlord or building management early.

Fixes: damp ceilings, hidden leaks, high bills

Drain Cleaning & Blockage Removal

We clear blocked and slow drains in kitchens, bathrooms and floor drains with proper drain-clearing tools, not just repeated chemicals. We also fix smells, gurgling and overflowing drains, and inspect the line to find where the problem really is. Rarely used bathrooms often have dried-out floor traps that smell, which is a quick fix once you know the cause. Water dripping from an AC unit? Our AC repair and maintenance team can check the drain line.

Fixes: slow drains, blockages, smells

Water Heater Installation & Repair

No hot water, lukewarm water, leaks, noise or a heater that keeps tripping the breaker? We diagnose the real fault before suggesting a replacement, since many heaters can be repaired. We also install new, correctly sized water heaters and flush sediment to improve performance. Water heaters mix electricity and water, so safety comes first. For wiring faults, see our electrical repair service.

Fixes: no hot water, leaks, banging

Tap & Mixer Installation and Repair

Dripping taps, stiff or leaking mixers, a shower that only gives hot or cold, or a wobbly kitchen tap usually come down to a worn washer, cartridge or seal. We replace the worn part with a quality one, clear clogged aerators and install new taps and modern mixers, including pull-out kitchen types.

Fixes: drips, stiff or leaking mixers

Bathroom Plumbing

We repair and install wash basins, toilets, toilet seats, shower mixers and bathtubs. That includes slow basins, running or weak-flushing toilets, leaks at the base or around a bathtub, and complete fixture installation for bathroom renovations. We also deal with limescale inside taps, showerheads and mixers that reduces flow over time. Renovating? Our light installation team can fit the new bathroom lighting too.

Fixes: toilets, basins, showers, bathtubs

Kitchen Plumbing

Slow kitchen sinks that smell of old food, leaks under the sink, loose or dripping kitchen mixers and grease blockages all get fixed properly, not masked. We clear the pipe, repair the connection and test it before we leave. Running a restaurant? See our commercial kitchen repair service.

Fixes: slow sinks, under-sink leaks

Pipe Installation & Replacement

We install water pipes for renovations and new fixtures, extend supply lines without hurting pressure and replace old, corroded or frequently leaking pipes. We work with PPR and PVC pipework, route and size it properly and pressure-test it before walls or floors are sealed.

For: renovations, extensions, old pipes

Water Pump & Tank Installation and Repair

For villas and buildings with their own water pumps and tanks, we install and repair pumps, fix pressure tank issues that make the pump switch on and off repeatedly, repair tank leaks, clean tanks and replace old ones. If pressure is weak on the upper floors, a pump check is the right place to start.

Fixes: weak pressure, noisy pumps, tank leaks

Plumbing Inspection & Maintenance

Catch small problems before they flood a bathroom. We inspect pipes, joints, drains, taps and heaters, and tell you honestly what needs attention now and what can wait. Useful before renovations, before tenants move in or after you buy a property.

Prevents: surprise leaks and repeat repairs

Plumbing FAQs

Quick answers to the plumbing problems Dubai residents ask us about most.

Leaks and damp

There’s a damp patch on my ceiling. What should I do?

Turn off the water supply if you can, and don’t just repaint it. The water is often travelling from a leak elsewhere. We locate the actual source and repair it, then finish the area properly.

My water bill went up but I can’t see a leak. Why?

It’s a classic sign of a hidden leak in a concealed pipe. Other signs are a musty smell, bubbling paint or the sound of running water when nothing is on. We trace it before any opening work.

Will you need to break my wall to fix a leak?

Not usually. We locate the leak as precisely as possible first, so any opening is small and targeted.

How urgently should I fix a leak?

Even small leaks should be handled promptly, since trapped moisture leads to mould and can weaken the structure. Active or worsening leaks should be treated as urgent and fixed the same day.

Drains and smells

Why is my drain slow or blocked?

Usually grease and food in kitchen drains, or hair and soap in bathrooms, building up over time. Slow drains turn into blocked ones, so it’s cheaper to fix them early.

Why does my drain smell even after cleaning?

The smell often comes from trapped waste further down the line, a dried-out floor trap or a blocked vent, not what you can see. We find and fix the cause.

Can I clear a blocked drain myself?

Basic surface blockages sometimes clear with a plunger. If the blockage is deeper or keeps returning, repeated chemicals don’t solve it and can harm pipes. Call us.

My bathroom floor drain overflows when I shower. Why?

It usually means a blockage further down the main drainage line. We clear it and inspect the line.

Water heaters

My water heater isn’t heating. What’s wrong?

It could be a faulty heating element, thermostat or electrical connection. We test before replacing anything, as many heaters can be repaired.

Why is my water heater leaking or banging?

Leaks usually come from a loose connection, a worn valve or an old tank. Banging or rumbling is typically sediment at the bottom of the tank, which a flush usually fixes.

My water heater keeps tripping the breaker. Is it safe to keep resetting it?

No. It usually means a fault in the heating element or wiring, so stop resetting it and call us for a proper safety check.

How long does water heater installation take?

Replacing an existing unit usually takes a couple of hours. A brand-new installation with pipe and electrical connections can take longer.

Taps, mixers, toilets and bathrooms

Why does my tap keep dripping even after I tighten it?

The drip is almost always a worn washer, cartridge or seal inside, which needs replacing. Over-tightening can damage the tap further.

My shower only gives very hot or very cold water. Why?

A worn mixing cartridge is the usual cause. We replace it so you get comfortable temperature control again.

Can you replace my old tap with a modern mixer?

Yes. We can adjust the connection to fit a new mixer, even if the plumbing was set up for a different tap type.

Why does water pool around my toilet base?

Usually a failing seal at the base or a leaking connection. It needs fixing quickly, as ongoing leakage can damage the floor below.

My toilet keeps running. What’s the fix?

Typically the internal fill or flush valve. It’s a quick repair and saves water.

Pipes, pressure, pumps and tanks

Why is my water pressure weak?

It could be a clogged aerator, limescale, a pipe issue or a pump problem. We check the source before replacing parts.

Why does my pump keep switching on and off?

It’s usually a pressure tank that has lost its air charge or a pressure switch that needs adjusting. Ignoring it strains the pump motor.

Can you replace an old water tank?

Yes. We remove the old tank, install the new one correctly and reconnect it to your plumbing.

Should I replace old pipes or keep repairing them?

If pipes are corroded or leaking repeatedly, replacement is often more cost-effective than patch repairs. We give an honest recommendation based on their condition.

What pipes do you install?

PPR and PVC pipework, properly routed, sized and pressure-tested before it’s sealed behind walls or floors.

Cost and booking

Do you offer emergency plumbing in Dubai?

Yes. We offer same-day and 24/7 emergency response for leaks, floods and overflowing drains in most areas of Dubai.

How much does a plumber cost in Dubai?

It depends on the problem and the work needed. Replacing a washer costs far less than tracing a hidden wall leak. You always get a clear quote before work starts.

Will the price change after the plumber arrives?

No surprises. You get a clear quote before any work begins, with no hidden charges.

Can I get an estimate without a visit?

Often yes. Send a photo or short video on WhatsApp and we’ll give you an estimate, then confirm the final price after inspection before any work starts.
