Our service
What does our plumbing service in Dubai include?
Mek-Madin Fitout provides plumbing services across Dubai for apartments, villas, townhouses, offices and shops. Typical work includes leak detection and repair on supply and waste pipes; blocked sinks, showers, floor traps and toilets; and water heater repair, descaling and replacement. Call or WhatsApp +971 52 884 8916, Saturday to Thursday from 8am to 2am. Every job is quoted before work starts.
Our plumbing services in Dubai cover leak detection and repair, blocked drains, water heaters, toilets and cisterns, mixers and taps, low water pressure, and villa pumps and tanks. We work on apartments, villas, offices and shops across the city.
Water damage is the problem we see most. A slow leak behind a vanity or under a shower tray can soak through to the flat below before anyone notices. That is why we look for where the water is coming from, not just where it shows up. A stain on a ceiling is often several metres from the actual leak.

Problems we fix
When should you call a plumber?
Damp patches or stains
Bubbling paint, a damp skirting board or a brown ring on the ceiling often means a hidden pipe or waste joint is leaking.
Slow or gurgling drains
Grease, hair and soap scum build up in kitchen and shower waste pipes. Gurgling usually means air cannot move through the line.
Sewer smell in the bathroom
Floor traps dry out in rooms that are not used, letting drain smells back in. A cracked seal on a toilet can do the same.
Water heater not keeping up
Scale builds up inside heaters and on the element, cutting hot water and making noises. Rusty water from the hot tap is another warning.
Low or uneven pressure
Weak showers can come from clogged aerators, a failing booster pump in a villa or a pressure-reducing valve set too low.
Toilet keeps running
A worn flush valve or fill valve wastes water all day and shows up on your DEWA bill.
How to book
How does a booking work, from first call to finished job?
It runs in 5 steps: Describe the problem, find the source, agree the fix, repair and test, make good. Each step is confirmed with you before the next one starts, so there are no surprises on price or timing.
Describe the problem
Call or WhatsApp +971 52 884 8916 with what you see and photos if you can. If water is actively leaking, shut the main valve to the flat or villa first.
Find the source
The plumber checks fittings, joints and pressure to locate the leak or blockage. We avoid opening walls unless there is no other way.
Agree the fix
We explain the cause and what it will take to fix it, then wait for your go-ahead.
Repair and test
We replace the faulty part or clear the line, then run water and check for drips or slow drainage.
Make good
We clean the area and tell you if any tiling, painting or ceiling repair is needed afterwards.

For every property type
How does plumbing work differ by property type?
Apartment plumbing is mostly concealed behind tiles and false ceilings. Villas have more to go wrong: roof tanks, booster pumps, long pipe runs and outdoor taps. Offices and cafes need washrooms and pantries working during the day.
What do Dubai water and buildings do to your plumbing?
Dubai's tap water comes mostly from desalination. It is treated, but many homes still see white scale on taps, shower heads and inside water heaters. Water that sits in rooftop and building tanks can add sediment. Over time, this clogs aerators, wears out mixer cartridges and shortens the life of heater elements. Regular descaling and a simple filter on the incoming line help.
In summer, villa roof tanks and exposed pipes heat up so much that the cold tap runs hot. Some owners add insulation or shading to tanks, or use a chiller on the cold line. In winter the issue reverses, and heaters work harder. Both seasons put stress on valves and pumps.
Towers have their own rules. The shared risers, main stacks and building pumps belong to the building, and building management handles them. Everything after your unit's isolation valve is usually the owner's or tenant's job. If a leak is coming from the flat above, contact building management so they can arrange access. In villas, the owner is usually responsible for the whole system, including tanks, pumps and the connection to DEWA's supply.
Apartments
Apartment plumbing is mostly concealed behind tiles and false ceilings. We focus on finding leaks without unnecessary demolition, and we work with building management when the issue involves shared pipes.
Villas & townhouses
Villas have more to go wrong: roof tanks, booster pumps, long pipe runs and outdoor taps. We service the whole system, including pumps that struggle in summer heat.
Offices & shops
Offices and cafes need washrooms and pantries working during the day. We can schedule non-urgent work out of hours and keep downtime short.

FAQs
Plumbing Services: common questions
How do I know if a leak is coming from my flat or the one above?
If the stain is on your ceiling and your own pipes above it are dry, the source is often the unit above or a shared pipe. Report it to building management, who can arrange access. We can inspect your side to confirm it is not your plumbing, and repair the damage once the source is fixed.
Why does my shower run hot even on the cold tap?
In villas, roof tanks and exposed pipes absorb a lot of heat in summer, so the cold supply arrives warm. Insulating the tank and pipes, or shading them, helps. In some apartments, a faulty mixer valve can also let hot water cross into the cold side. We check which one it is.
Can you repair a leak without breaking tiles?
Sometimes. Leaks at mixers, waste joints and access panels can often be fixed without opening walls. If a pipe inside the wall is leaking, we may need to remove a few tiles. When that happens, we can arrange floor and wall tiling to replace them neatly.
Do you fix leaking showers and wet areas?
We fix leaking pipes, valves and drains. If water is getting through the shower tray, grout or tiles into the floor below, the waterproofing layer may have failed. That needs waterproofing services as well, and we will tell you if that is the case.
How often should a villa water tank be cleaned?
Most guidance suggests cleaning tanks regularly, because sediment, algae and dust collect over time, especially in hot rooftop tanks. Check with your community or Dubai Municipality guidance for current advice. Our guide on villa water tank cleaning intervals explains what affects the timing. We clean, disinfect and inspect tanks and fix any damaged covers or float valves.
Is AC water leaking from the ceiling a plumbing problem?
Usually not. Water from a ceiling diffuser is almost always a blocked AC drain or tray. Book AC repair and maintenance for that. If the leak is from a bathroom or a pipe, that is plumbing. Not sure which it is? Send us a photo of where the water appears and whether the AC was running, and we point you to the right service.
