A home repair bill in Abu Dhabi is made of three things: the job itself, anything found once the technician can see the problem, and the parts. This guide shows our published prices for each trade, what a fixed price covers, and the few things that change the total — so the number at the end matches the one you expected.
Handyman, plumbing and electrical
These trades are booked either as a fixed-price job or, when the cause has to be found first, as an inspection. The inspection fee is credited when you approve the repair at the same visit.
| Job | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 60-minute handyman visit | AED 79 | Several small jobs in one visit. Extra time is agreed and priced before it starts. |
| Small plumbing fix | AED 69 each | A dripping tap, a loose connection or a blocked trap. |
| Plumbing inspection and quote | AED 59 | Credited if you approve the repair at the same visit |
| Switch, socket or light | AED 79 each | Replacing or installing a fitting you already have. |
| Electrical inspection and quote | AED 59 | Credited if you approve the repair at the same visit |

AC service and repairs
An AC service is priced per unit, so a home with several split units multiplies the unit price. A unit that has stopped cooling or is leaking water needs a diagnostic first; the repair is quoted before any work starts.
| Job | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| AC service | AED 149 each | Filter and coil clean with an airflow check, per unit. |
| AC diagnostic | AED 99 | Finds the cause. The repair is quoted before any work. |

Mounting, painting, carpentry and villa care
TV mounting and furniture assembly have fixed prices. Painting and carpentry depend on the area, the surface and what the technician finds, so they start with a site assessment that is credited against the work you approve. Villa care plans are agreed after a property assessment.
| Job | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| TV mounting | AED 89 each | On your bracket. Cable concealment is priced before work begins. |
| Furniture assembly | From AED 79 each | Per item. Larger pieces are priced before work begins. |

What a fixed price covers
- The technician's visit and labour for the job you chose
- A clearly defined job on an accessible fixture
- A 30-day warranty on eligible workmanship
What changes the total
Nothing is added without your approval. These are the usual reasons a quote goes above the starting price:
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Parts and materials | Priced separately and approved before they are fitted |
| Hidden or concealed problems | Behind walls, floors or boxing — inspected and quoted where required |
| Work above 3 m | High ceilings need more equipment; tell us when you book |
| An AC outdoor unit on the roof | Changes access and time; tell us when you book |
| More jobs than booked | Extra time or jobs are agreed and priced before they start |

Questions
Is the inspection fee extra if I go ahead with the repair?
For plumbing and electrical, the inspection fee is credited against qualifying repair work you approve at the same visit.
Do prices include parts?
No. Parts and materials are priced separately, and you approve them before they are fitted. If you have already bought the part, say so when you book.
Is the AC service price per unit or per home?
Per unit. Choose how many units you need serviced when you book and the total is shown before you pay.
Why is painting quoted instead of fixed-price?
Because the area, the condition of the surface and the number of coats decide the cost. The site assessment settles all three, and its fee is credited against the work you approve.
Can I get several jobs done in one visit?
Yes. A handyman visit is booked by time, so list every job when you book. Extra time is agreed and priced before it starts.
Is VAT included?
VAT is shown where applicable on the price you see before paying.
Does the price change by community?
No. The same published prices apply in every community we cover in Abu Dhabi.
What if the job turns out bigger than booked?
The technician explains what they found and prices the extra work before starting it. Nothing extra goes ahead without your approval.
Updated . This guide is general guidance for homes in Abu Dhabi. The scope and price of any visit are set by our booking terms and the technician’s assessment on site, and you approve any extra work before it starts.
