Plumbing problems we fix every day

If any of these sound familiar, send us a photo on WhatsApp. We will tell you what it probably is before anyone visits.

Leak or damp patch

Water on the floor, under the sink or coming through the ceiling.

Slow or blocked drain

Basins, showers or kitchen sinks that drain slowly or smell.

No hot water

The water heater trips, leaks, or the water never gets hot.

Low water pressure

Weak flow from showers and taps, or pressure that comes and goes.

Running toilet or dripping tap

Wasting water and adding to your DEWA bill every day.

Smell or damp behind tiles

Often a hidden leak or failed seal that needs tracing.
Plumbing in Dubai

Small leaks become big repairs quickly in Dubai buildings

Water that escapes behind tiles or under a floor rarely stays in one place. In towers it soaks into the apartment below, and in villas it lifts tiles, stains walls and feeds mould behind joinery. The earlier a leak is traced, the smaller the repair.

Our plumbers carry the common fittings, cartridges and valves used in Dubai buildings, so most repairs are finished on the first visit. When a part has to be ordered, you get a clear price and a return date.

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.

I have engaged Shawakesh on three occasions for general maintenance of my property. On all engagements I have found their service to be both to my and my tenant's satisfaction. I particularly appreciate the fast response time, both communication and actual issue resolution. This is important to me as I live out of country and need a reliable company to handle things in my absence.

Plumbing: common questions

Can’t see your question? Ask us on WhatsApp and you will get a straight answer.

Do you fix leaks that are affecting the apartment below?

Yes. We trace where the water is coming from, repair it and can provide a short report for your building management or neighbour.

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.

Why is my water pressure low?

Common causes are a blocked aerator or cartridge, a failing booster pump in villas, a partly closed valve, or a building-wide issue. We check the simple things first so you do not pay for work you do not need.

Do you work on concealed cisterns and wall-hung toilets?

Yes. We repair and replace flush mechanisms and valves in concealed cisterns, working through the access panel wherever possible.

Will you have to break tiles to fix a leak?

Only if the leak is behind them and cannot be reached any other way. We trace the leak first to keep any opening as small as possible, and can retile the area afterwards.

Do you handle plumbing for renovations?

Yes. We reroute supply and drainage for new kitchen and bathroom layouts as part of our renovation work.
