Frequently asked questions

Answers before you book a tank repair.

These are the original repair, pricing, warranty, technical, maintenance, and emergency-service answers from our website.

How much does water tank repair cost in Kenya?Pricing+

Water tank repairs start from KES 3,500 in Nairobi and KES 4,000 outside Nairobi. The actual price depends on the size of the damage, tank capacity, and complexity of the repair work needed. We are based in Nairobi and provide services to all 47 counties in Kenya. Emergency repairs may have additional call-out fees. Contact us for a free assessment and exact quote - simply send photos via WhatsApp or call for an immediate price estimate.

How long does a professional tank repair last?Warranty+

A properly executed HDPE hot air welding repair can extend your tank life by 5-7 years when performed by certified technicians. Our repairs come with a 1-year warranty covering workmanship and materials. The longevity depends on proper maintenance, tank usage, and environmental conditions.

What causes plastic water tank cracks?Maintenance+

Primary causes include: UV exposure from direct sunlight, temperature fluctuations causing expansion and contraction, poor initial manufacturing quality, mechanical stress from improper installation, chemical degradation, overfilling, and physical impact damage. Regular inspections can catch early warning signs before major failures occur.

Can all tank types be repaired?Services+

Most HDPE, LDPE, and polyethylene tanks can be professionally repaired using hot air welding techniques. Fiberglass tanks require specialized methods. Tanks with severe degradation, extensive rust (metal tanks), or damage exceeding 30% of the tank structure may require replacement rather than repair. We provide honest assessments and recommendations.

How quickly can emergency tank repairs be done?Emergency Service+

Our 24/7 emergency service typically responds within 2-4 hours in Nairobi and major cities, and 4-8 hours in rural areas. Most emergency repairs are completed within 1-3 hours on-site once our technician arrives. Complex repairs may require follow-up visits. We prioritize emergencies by severity and safety risk.

What is hot air welding for water tanks?Technical+

Hot air welding is a precision repair technique using controlled heat (300-400°C) to melt and fuse plastic tank materials. Specialized welding guns apply consistent temperature, creating molecular bonds that restore structural integrity stronger than the original material. It's the gold standard for permanent plastic tank repairs.

Do you repair tanks on-site or at a workshop?Services+

We specialize in on-site repairs for most residential and commercial tanks, bringing all equipment directly to you. Large industrial tanks or extensive damage may require workshop repairs for better quality control. We assess each situation and recommend the most practical and cost-effective approach.

What warranty covers tank repairs?Warranty+

All our repairs include a comprehensive 1-year workmanship warranty. This covers repair failure due to welding defects or workmanship issues. Normal wear, new damage, improper tank use, or environmental factors are not covered. We stand behind our repairs and will re-repair warranty-covered issues at no charge.

How do I maintain my water tank after repair?Maintenance+

Regular maintenance includes: quarterly visual inspections, annual professional assessments, keeping the tank clean from debris, ensuring proper ventilation, avoiding overfilling, protecting from direct UV exposure, checking fittings and connections, and addressing minor issues immediately. Proper maintenance extends tank life significantly.

What payment methods do you accept?Pricing+

We accept M-Pesa, bank transfers, cash, and mobile money. Payment is due upon job completion for standard repairs. For large projects, we accept 50% deposit with balance on completion. Emergency call-outs may require upfront payment for service dispatch. All payments receive official receipts.

Can severely damaged tanks be repaired?Technical+

Tanks with damage covering less than 30% of total surface area can usually be repaired successfully. Severe cracks, large holes, or structural failures are repairable with hot air welding and reinforcement techniques. However, tanks with extensive UV degradation, multiple previous repairs, or compromised structural integrity may need replacement. Free assessments help determine feasibility.

How long does a typical repair take?Services+

Most residential tank repairs take 2-4 hours from assessment to completion. Small cracks can be fixed in 1-2 hours. Large commercial or industrial tanks may require 4-8 hours or multiple visits. Emergency repairs are prioritized for quickest possible turnaround. Weather conditions can affect drying and curing times.

What areas do you cover in Kenya?Services+

We are based in Nairobi and provide nationwide service coverage across all 47 counties in Kenya. Our pricing is KES 3,500 in Nairobi and KES 4,000 outside Nairobi. Emergency services are available 24/7 in major cities. Rural areas may have extended response times but we ensure quality service everywhere. Travel costs may apply for very remote locations.

Are there DIY tank repair options?Technical+

While DIY repair kits exist, professional hot air welding provides permanent, reliable repairs that DIY solutions cannot match. Improper repairs can worsen damage, create safety hazards, and void warranties. For critical water storage, professional repair is always recommended. We offer free consultations to discuss the best solution for your situation.

What should I do if my tank is leaking?Emergency Service+

Immediate steps: Turn off water supply to the tank, drain to safe level, place containers to catch leaking water, take photos of damage, and call our emergency line. Do not attempt temporary fixes that could worsen damage. For severe leaks threatening property, evacuate the area and contact us immediately for emergency response.
