About this service
What kitchen plumbing involves
A slow kitchen drain is fat, and fat that has reached the drain has already coated everything between the sink and the manhole.
Kitchen plumbing failures follow the food. Fats and oils go down warm, cool in the run, and set on the pipe wall. Over a year the bore narrows, the drain slows, and eventually it stops. Clearing the blockage without descaling the run simply resets the clock.
The second recurring problem is the cupboard under the sink, which is where most Dubai kitchens hide a genuinely improvised piece of work: flexible hoses stretched to their limit, a dishwasher spigot never drilled out properly, a waste trap propped rather than supported, and three appliances teed off one angle valve.
None of that leaks on the day it is fitted. It leaks eighteen months later, slowly, into a carcass base that swells and delaminates before anyone notices, and by then the cabinet is the expensive part rather than the plumbing.
Islands add their own constraint. Waste from an island crosses under the floor and frequently has less fall than it should, which is why island sinks in Dubai villas gurgle and drain slowly far more often than perimeter sinks do. Sometimes that is fixable by re-laying the run; sometimes the honest answer is an air admittance valve and a realistic expectation.
Where the kitchen is being reworked rather than repaired, joinery, tiling and making good are our own trades, so the appliance moves and the cabinetry are coordinated instead of negotiated between contractors.
Where a bad decision stays hidden longest
Plumbing, electrical and mechanical work is where an owner is least equipped to judge what they are being told, and where the wrong call stays buried in a wall for years. We show you the fault, explain the options, and quote before we touch it.
- You see the fault before you approve the fix
- Written quote, no parts added afterwards
- One team, so no trade blames another
Diagnosed before anything is replaced
Replacing a part that was not the fault is the most expensive outcome in this trade, and the most common one.
- Cause established before parts are ordered
- Photographs of the fault, shared with you
- Second opinion welcomed, not resisted
One contract instead of six
Most villas are running separate contractors for AC, plumbing, electrical and general maintenance, all blaming each other. One team removes that entirely.
- Single point of contact for the property
- One schedule, one invoice, one accountability
- Records kept so history is not lost
What is included

Before anything is quoted
We look at the property before we put a number on it
A price list cannot see your marble, your ducts, or the wall the afternoon sun hits. So we come and look. A senior member of the team surveys the property, and you receive a written quotation the same day, itemised, with what is included and what is not.
No obligation. If we are not the right company for the job we will say so, and tell you who is.
- 01The survey
We look at the property, not a price list. Usually the same day you ask.
- 02The written quote
Fixed, itemised, and sent the same day. What is included, and what is not.
- 03The work
A named supervisor and a crew you will see again. Our own equipment and materials.
- 04The walkthrough
We walk the property with you before the team leaves. Anything not right is dealt with then.
Frequently asked questions
Who does kitchen plumbing near me in Dubai?
MELLS covers ninety communities across Dubai, with licensed plumbers and our own joiners for the cabinetry that kitchen leaks usually damage.
Why does my kitchen sink keep blocking?
Fat. It goes down warm and sets on the pipe wall, narrowing the bore over months. Clearing alone resets the clock; descaling the run is what actually fixes it.
Can you connect a dishwasher and a washing machine to one supply?
It is possible but poor practice. Each appliance should have its own isolation valve so one can be serviced without shutting the other down, and so a failure can be isolated quickly.
My under sink cupboard smells damp but I cannot see a leak.
That is the common presentation of a slow joint or a weeping hose. The water tracks along the cabinet base rather than pooling, and it is usually found by drying and re-testing under load.
Why do my pipes bang when the washing machine fills?
Water hammer, caused by a fast closing solenoid valve and no arrestor. It is fixable with an arrestor or by correcting pipe support, and it is worth fixing because the shock loosens joints elsewhere.
Can you move a sink or appliance during a kitchen change?
Yes, subject to waste fall. Moving supply is straightforward, moving waste depends on what depth is available under the floor, which we check before quoting.
How do I get a quote from MELLS?
Message us on WhatsApp on +971 58 656 3001 or call the same number. A senior member of the team surveys the property and you receive a written itemised quotation the same day.
Which areas of the UAE does MELLS cover?
Ninety communities across Dubai for residential work, and Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises.
Do you bring your own equipment and materials?
Yes. Our teams arrive fully equipped with professional grade machinery, products and materials. Nothing of yours is used.

The difference
Why a cheap kitchen plumbing job is expensive
The gap is not the price. It is what is actually reached, and whether anyone can show you it was.
The low cost visit
- The blockage rodded through and the fat left lining the pipe
- Appliances teed off a single overloaded angle valve
- Flexible hoses stretched to reach rather than replaced
- A leaking trap tightened rather than renewed
- The swollen cabinet base ignored because it is joinery, not plumbing
- Waste fall on an island left as found because it is under the floor
The MELLS method
- The run jetted and descaled, not just punched through
- Each appliance on its own isolation valve
- Hoses and traps replaced to the correct length and type
- Cabinet damage identified and quoted rather than left
- Water hammer traced and corrected rather than tolerated
- Joinery, tiling and painting closed out by us

How the process works
Look under the sink
Most kitchen plumbing problems are visible in the cupboard within a minute, and several of them are usually present at once.
Establish supply or waste
Supply side and waste side faults look similar from the front and are entirely different jobs behind.
Clear and descale
Where the waste is the issue, the run is cleared and then descaled so the bore is restored rather than perforated.
Renew what is improvised
Overloaded valves, stretched hoses and unsupported traps are replaced properly rather than adjusted.
Test under load
Appliances run through a full cycle and the joints checked, because a waste that passes a bowl of water can still surcharge on a pump out.
Make good
Cabinet repair, sealant, tiling and painting by our own trades.
