A leak in an apartment reaches the unit below quickly, so the first move is to close the angle valve or the main valve, photograph the damage and call a plumber. A good plumber finds the cause before replacing parts, tells you the price before opening a wall and leaves the old part with you if you ask.
What it costs
The call-out typically costs AED 150 to 250 and often covers the first 30 to 60 minutes of labour. Ask for the price in a message before the work starts, and ask whether the call-out fee is credited against the repair if you approve it on the spot.
A concealed leak often shows first as a rise in your water bill (DEWA in Dubai). A survey with a moisture meter or thermal camera costs AED 300 to 900. These are typical Dubai prices; in the other emirates prices are often similar or somewhat lower.
In a rented home
The tenancy contract decides who pays. Many UAE contracts put small repairs such as a tap washer on the tenant and concealed pipework on the landlord. Tell the landlord in writing before you start, unless water is flowing.
Check home contents insurance, which may cover water damage if you report it quickly.
Check the badge first, then read the reviews and the response rate. Ask for a written quote that names the company on the licence, and pay only to an account in that company's name. See typical prices in our price guide.















Plumbers by area
Frequently asked questions
What licence should a plumber have?
A trade licence (DET in Dubai, ADDED in Abu Dhabi, SEDD in Sharjah) with a plumbing or building maintenance activity, and technicians employed by that company with ID. For water heaters, main lines or gas work, building management approval and a contractor approved for that work may be required. Ask for the licence number before the visit.
How much does a plumber charge in the UAE?
A call-out is typically AED 150 to 250. Clearing a blocked sink costs AED 150 to 350, a tap or cartridge repair AED 100 to 200, a mixer replacement AED 150 to 300 in labour and a water heater swap AED 350 to 900 plus the unit. These are typical Dubai prices; in the other emirates prices are often similar or somewhat lower.
What are the red flags with plumbers?
Beware of a refusal to price before starting, a whole pipe run proposed for a dripping joint, unbranded parts and a call-out of AED 50 to 80, which is usually a way into your home. Ask for the old part back if you doubt it needed replacing.
What should I do in a burst-pipe emergency?
Close the angle valve or main valve, switch off power near the water if it is safe, photograph the damage and call a plumber. Night and holiday call-outs commonly add AED 50 to 150. Tell the landlord or building management the same day.
