Highly recommend Shawakesh Technical Services! They replaced my water heater tank at Autograph, JVC, at a very reasonable price. The quality of work and finishing were excellent and they completed the job efficiently and on time.

What is your heater doing?
Send a photo of the heater and its label on WhatsApp. Most faults can be narrowed down before anyone visits.
No hot water at all
Often the heating element, the thermostat or the power supply to the heater.Only lukewarm water
A failing element, a thermostat set too low, or a tank full of scale.It trips the breaker
Usually a shorted element or damp in the wiring. Leave it switched off until it is checked.Dripping from the tank or valve
A worn safety valve or loose connection is a quick repair. A leaking tank means replacement.Crackling or popping
Scale build-up on the element. A clean or a new element usually sorts it.Rusty or smelly water
A worn anode or a tank near the end of its life. We tell you honestly which.
Repair or replace?
Most electric water heaters in Dubai apartments are 50 to 80-litre tanks in the bathroom or a ceiling void. When the problem is a part (the element, the thermostat or the safety valve) a repair is quick and costs far less than a new heater.
When the tank itself is leaking or badly corroded, repairing it is wasted money. We show you what we found, with photos, and give you both prices so you can decide.

What customers say
Water heater questions
Can’t see your question? Ask us on WhatsApp and you will get a straight answer.
How much does water heater repair cost in Dubai?
An inspection visit is AED 149 and is deducted if you go ahead with the repair. Parts like an element, thermostat or safety valve are priced on the visit for your heater. A standard 50-litre replacement starts at AED 650 supplied and fitted. Prices exclude VAT.
Can you replace my water heater on the same day?
Often yes for standard sizes, which we can source quickly. If your heater is an unusual size or location, we quote and agree a time to come back.
My heater keeps tripping the breaker. Is it safe to use?
No. Switch the heater off at its isolator and leave it off until it is checked. Tripping usually means a shorted element or water getting into the wiring.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If the tank is sound and the fault is a part, repair it. If the tank leaks, is badly corroded or the heater is very old, replacement is usually better value. We show you what we find and give you both prices.
Can you work on a heater in a ceiling void?
Yes. Many Dubai apartments have the heater above the bathroom ceiling. We work through the access panel and protect the room below.
I'm a landlord. Can you deal with my tenant?
Yes. We arrange access with your tenant, send you photos of the fault and the repair, and invoice you directly.
