Tap Dripping or Will Not Shut Off? Fixed Today — Dubai
A dripping tap is a five-minute job with the right cartridge in the van and a two-visit job without it. Photograph the tap and its brand mark so the technician arrives with the part.
The causes we find, in order
Worn ceramic cartridge
The two ceramic discs inside the handle have scored, so they no longer seal when closed. We replace the cartridge, which costs a fraction of the mixer and takes the drip out permanently.
Perished O-rings and seals
Where the leak appears around the base of the spout rather than out of it, the O-rings have hardened. Reseating with new seals fixes it without touching the cartridge.
Damaged seat from hard water
Dubai water leaves mineral deposits that chew the brass seat the cartridge closes against. A new cartridge on a scored seat drips again within weeks, so we dress or replace the seat at the same time.
Inlet pressure too high
If several taps in the home drip, the cause is usually pressure rather than the taps. We measure at the inlet and at the fixture and treat the pressure, not the symptom.

About this repair
Do I need a new mixer or can it be repaired?
The vast majority are repaired at the cartridge. We only recommend replacement when the body is cracked or the brand has no parts left in the UAE, and we tell you which of the two it is.
Do you carry the cartridge for my brand?
Grohe, Hansgrohe, Ideal Standard, Kohler, RAK and the common builder-fit mixers travel with the technician. Send a photo of the brand mark on the tap and we confirm before you approve the price.
