KES Warranty Explained: Coverage Tiers, Registration, and How to Claim

Last updated: July 3, 2026

KES backs its shower systems and faucet sets with a lifetime warranty against leaks from the body or cartridge (for the original consumer homeowner; 3 years for commercial and other purchasers), 3-year coverage for leaks at other locations, and 1-year coverage for finish and non-leak issues — with accessories covered for 1 year, and select series extendable by registering on keshome.com. One unified standard, in effect since October 2022, applies to every order — keshome.com and the official KES Amazon store alike. Here are the exact terms and how to claim.

Coverage by product and issue

Lifetime coverage applies to the original consumer purchaser in the home of first installation; industrial, commercial and business purchasers are covered for 3 years. The governing terms live on the official KES warranty page.

The logic behind the tiers: the pressurized core — the body and cartridge — is the part KES engineers in solid brass and stainless steel under its Metal First principle, so it carries the strongest promise. Finish wear and accessory issues are covered for the first year, when manufacturing defects show themselves.

Extended and special coverage

How to make a claim

1. Have your order record ready — a keshome.com order number or Amazon order ID is your proof of purchase. No registration is required for standard coverage.
2. Contact support via the contact page or reply within your order channel, with a short description of the issue.
3. Attach photos or a short video of the problem — claims with visual evidence resolve significantly faster.
4. Resolution is typically a free replacement of the affected part (KES ships smaller parts with spares where practical), or a replacement unit where a part swap can’t fix it.

What the warranty doesn’t cover

Coverage applies to products bought from official KES channels (keshome.com or the official KES Amazon store) — second-hand items purchased outside those channels aren’t covered. Issues caused by misuse or improper installation rather than a product defect fall outside warranty; when in doubt, contact support anyway — the team’s working principle is to propose a concrete solution rather than debate blame.

Warranty vs the 60-day return policy

They’re two different tools. In the first 60 days, the return policy covers returns and exchanges. Beyond that, the warranty takes over — up to lifetime on the pressurized core of shower and faucet sets — and works through part replacement rather than returns. Keep the order record either way; it’s the only paperwork you need.
