Shower & tap repair in Mijas Costa.
Dripping tap, stiff mixer, or a shower that won't heat up properly — we repair or replace fixtures across Mijas Costa, with parts that actually last.
Tip: tell us if it's a drip, no flow, temperature issue, or a broken handle — it helps us bring the right parts.
Common shower & tap problems
Almost always a worn washer or cartridge — quick to fix once we know the tap type.
Limescale build-up inside the valve mechanism, common with the hard water here.
Usually the thermostatic cartridge inside the mixer needs replacing.
Mineral deposits clogging the nozzles — sometimes a simple descale fixes it.
Worn O-rings or seals inside the mixer body, needing a full cartridge or unit replacement.
Could be a mixing valve fault rather than the water heater itself — worth checking both.
Taps & showers in Mijas Costa — what to expect
Hard water is the single biggest factor behind tap and shower problems across Mijas Costa — limescale builds up inside cartridges and showerheads faster here than in most of the country, which is why drips and stiff valves are such a common call-out.
Most repairs are quick once we know which part has failed, and we always use quality replacement parts rather than the cheapest option, since a repair with a poor part in hard-water conditions tends to fail again within months.

FAQ — shower & tap repair Mijas Costa
Why does my tap keep dripping after a repair?+
Usually a worn washer or cartridge that wasn't fully replaced, or limescale that's already damaged the new seal. We use quality parts to make repairs last.
My shower mixer won't hold temperature — is that fixable?+
Yes, it's usually the cartridge inside the mixer valve. It's a common fault and a straightforward repair in most cases.
Why is limescale such a problem for taps and showers in Mijas Costa?+
The water here is hard, so mineral deposits build up inside cartridges, showerheads and aerators faster than in softer-water areas, causing drips and reduced flow.
Can you match an existing tap or shower brand?+
Where possible, yes — bring us the brand or a photo and we'll source a matching part or a suitable replacement.
