The leaks I repair in Fuengirola
Taps & fittings
Dripping taps, worn cartridges and seals, leaking mixers and shower fittings — small jobs that waste a surprising amount of water.

Leaks at washing-machine and dishwasher hoses, under-sink connections, and water-heater fittings and safety valves.
Signs you may have a water leak
What you can see
- Damp patches or staining on walls or ceilings
- Bubbling paint, or mould in a corner that won’t go away
- Water pooling under a sink, the WC or an appliance
- A constant drip, or a tap that won’t fully shut off
- A musty, damp smell with no obvious cause
Hidden-leak clues
- A water bill that’s jumped with no change in use
- The water meter ticking over with everything turned off
- A drop in water pressure you can’t explain
- Warm patches on the floor (a hidden hot-water leak)
- The sound of running water when nothing’s on
Spotted any of these? Turn off your stopcock if water is flowing, then call me — you can even send a photo or video on WhatsApp so I know what I’m coming to.

An honest quote before any work begins, with no call-out fee when you accept it and let me carry out the repair.
Finding the leak without wrecking your home
Not every leak shows itself. When it’s behind a wall, under tiles or below the floor, the worst thing to do is start breaking things open and hoping. The smarter approach is to pinpoint it first, then open up only where it’s actually needed.

- check_circle Especially useful for damp patches, warm floors and rising bills

Water leak repair — your questions
I think I have a leak but can’t see it. What should I do?
expand_more
A good first check: turn everything off and look at your water meter — if it’s still ticking over, water is going somewhere. Turn off your stopcock to limit any damage and give me a call. For leaks hidden behind walls or under floors, I can locate the source before opening anything up.
My water bill has shot up for no reason. Could it be a leak?
expand_more
Very possibly. A silent leak — a running toilet, a weeping joint or a concealed pipe — can waste a lot of water without you noticing. A sudden jump with no change in how you use water is one of the most common signs, and worth checking sooner rather than later.
Will you have to break the wall or floor to fix it?
expand_more
Only where it’s genuinely needed. I find the exact spot first, so if any wall or floor does have to come up, it’s the smallest area possible — not guesswork that turns a small leak into a big repair.
It’s an emergency — water everywhere. What now?
expand_more
Turn off your main stopcock straight away to stop the flow, and switch off the electrics if water is anywhere near them. Then call me. I’m based in Fuengirola and will get to you as quickly as I can during working hours, Monday to Friday.
How much does a leak repair cost?
expand_more
It depends on where the leak is and how easy it is to reach — a dripping tap is a small job, a concealed pipe is more involved. I’ll always find the cause and give you a clear, honest price before starting, with no call-out fee when you accept it.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
expand_more
I’ll give you a clear quote first — by phone, WhatsApp or in person. There’s no call-out fee when you accept the quote and let me carry out the repair.
