Ramadan Drain CleaningMixer and faucet repair in Rabiya
Mixer and faucet repair in Rabiya depends on the mixer type and how much the cartridge is damaged, and usually a new cartridge solves it. Rabiya is a quiet residential area in Farwaniya with villas and family homes of older architectural style.
Mixer symptoms
Four cases wesee often.
Each one of these points at a different part inside the mixer.
01
It drips after closing
If it keeps dripping with the handle fully closed, the ceramic discs inside the cartridge no longer meet cleanly. A single grain of grit is enough to score that face and keep the drip going.
02
The handle has gone stiff
A mixer that needs force to move has lost the grease inside it, or deposits have worked between the discs. Forcing it keeps breaking the cartridge, and you end up changing the mixer instead of a part.
03
The flow sprays sideways
When the flow breaks up and sprays to the sides, the small aerator at the tip is partly blocked. It is the easiest case of all, cleared by unscrewing the aerator and cleaning or replacing it.
04
Hot and cold are swapped
You open it towards cold and hot arrives, or the other way round. This follows a new installation with the two supplies reversed, or a cartridge refitted the wrong way up. The correction is simple and does not need a new mixer.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Houses in Rabiya have older construction, tight bathrooms, and mixers fixed to thick walls, sometimes tiled. Old cartridges may be stiff from years sitting, and we must disassemble the plastic and metal carefully without breaking the pipes inside the wall. Some houses have smaller fittings, so we fit a smaller cartridge. We insert the new cartridge, test both cold and hot water, and make sure there is no leakage underneath.
Rabiya sits in Farwaniya governorate, an older residential area with villas and family homes.
Most homes in Rabiya have mixers fitted directly to copper pipes without intermediate connectors.

The method
From the handleto the test.
Careful work on small parts, and all of it above the basin.
We close both angle valves
A mixer has two supplies, hot and cold, and both have to be closed. We then open the mixer to release the pressure still held in the two tails.
We lift the handle off
The handle is held by a small screw hidden under a plastic cap, and beneath it a ring clamps the cartridge. That comes off with the right tool so the mixer body is not scarred.
We change the cartridge
The old cartridge comes out and its seat is cleaned of deposits, because a new cartridge dropped onto a dirty seat gives you the same drip again before long.
We open it and check both
Both valves open, we run hot, cold and every position between, and we look under the basin while it runs to be sure the tails are not weeping.
Common questions
Questions about Mixer and faucet repair in Rabiya
Usually yes, as long as the pipes and mixer body are sound. We remove the old and fit the new one the same size. If the mixer body itself is cracked we tell you we need a full replacement.
The cartridge itself may be leaking, or the rubber seals around it are damaged. We check the seals when we open the mixer and replace the cartridge if it is faulty or the seals are worn.
