Dripping mixers
Source diagnosed; cartridge or seals replaced only as needed

The right fix, not just a new part
Hard Kuwait water leaves scale inside every mixer and valve; we find the real cause before swapping parts, so the fault does not return next month

What this service covers
Every fault that affects mixers and faucets in homes, kitchens and commercial buildings
What it covers
Mineral scale buildup
Scale cleared from aerator, filter and internal mixer channels
Reduced flow
Fault located in mixer, supply valve or feed pipe
Incorrect temperature mix
Hot and cold channels checked and balance corrected
Faucet replacement
Old unit removed, new one fitted and pressure tested after
Isolation valves
Valve behind each fixture checked for full shut-off
How the job runs
Call or WhatsApp
Describe the fault and send a photo if possible
Diagnosis
Technician checks mixer, valve and leak source
Your approval
Scope and cost explained before any work starts
Repair
Parts cleaned or replaced; valves adjusted and seated
Pressure test
Flow and seal integrity tested before the technician leaves
Mistakes that make it worse
Replacing the cartridge first
If scale is the cause, a new cartridge fails just as fast
Ignoring the aerator
A clogged aerator looks like low pressure and gets wrongly treated as a pump fault
Over-tightening connections
Forcing fittings cracks the mixer body and causes leaks weeks later
Cutting all building water
Working without a local isolation valve needlessly cuts water to the whole building
Before you call: check these first
Locate the fault
Note whether the drip comes from the spout, the base or the supply connection
Try the isolation valve
Close the valve behind the fixture and confirm whether it shuts fully
Note the water colour
Brown or rust-coloured water points to old galvanised pipes, not just a mixer fault
Mixer age and type
Knowing the brand and rough age helps confirm whether spare parts are available
How mixer and faucet repair is done right
Kuwait water is hard and mineral-heavy, and summer heat speeds up calcium deposits inside aerators, internal filters and the mixer body long before the cartridge shows wear. The first step is always separating the fault type: a scale blockage that can be cleared, a worn seal or cartridge that needs replacing, or a leak at the supply connection. Getting that right at the start avoids unnecessary part swaps.
Once the mixer is removed, the body is inspected for cracks in the brass or internal plastic, and both hot and cold channels are flushed clean. Heavy scale is treated before any new part goes in, because fitting a cartridge into a partially blocked channel brings the fault back fast. After reassembly the mixer is tested under the actual line pressure to confirm every seal is holding.
The isolation valve behind each mixer is the first line of defence for any future repair, and many older Kuwaiti homes either lack one or have a valve seized from years of disuse. Every visit includes checking that valve and replacing it if it no longer closes fully, because a mixer with no working isolation valve forces a full building water cut for every future job.

What decides the price
No fixed rate applies; the quote depends on fault type, fixture model and what the job actually needs
Fault type
Scale cleaning is simpler and faster than cartridge swap or crack repair
Mixer type and age
Older or obscure mixers may need hard-to-source spare parts
Number of connections
A working isolation valve reduces time; its absence adds complexity
Fixture location
Confined or elevated locations take longer to access and reassemble
Call timing
Calls outside standard hours or on public holidays are priced differently

Common questions

+965 9668 4964
Can the mixer be repaired without cutting water to the whole house?
Yes, as long as the isolation valve behind the mixer closes fully. If that valve is seized or missing we fix it first, so future repairs never need a full building water cut.
The mixer drips from the spout even when fully closed; what causes that?
A worn cartridge or internal seal is the usual cause, but heavy mineral scale can also stop the cartridge closing fully. We clear the internal channel before deciding whether a new cartridge is needed.
Water from the mixer is barely warm even at the hottest setting; is that a mixer fault?
Not necessarily. The fault may be in the water heater or in the hot supply line rather than the mixer itself. We check both the hot source and the mixer performance in the same visit.
Do you repair bathroom and kitchen mixers in the same visit?
Yes, multiple mixers can be dealt with in a single visit as long as the required parts are available.
The mixer is relatively new but leaks from the base; is that a fitting error?
Usually yes. A base leak on a new mixer typically points to an incorrectly tightened connection or a seal that was not fully seated during installation. The cause is confirmed before anything is dismantled.
When is full replacement better than repair?
When the mixer body is cracked, spare parts are no longer available, or scale has permanently damaged the internal channels. We make that assessment after the inspection and explain it clearly before proceeding.
