Home appliance repair in the United Arab Emirates

Updated 4 November 2026

A home appliance repair in the United Arab Emirates usually costs AED 150 to 800 for most jobs, and a basic visit in Abu Dhabi starts from about AED 130. Some companies also charge an inspection fee of AED 99 to 150, which some of them waive if you go ahead with the repair. To compare offers for your washing machine, fridge or oven, describe the fault in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

VAT and written quotes

Repair work in the UAE is subject to 5% VAT according to published guidance, so ask whether the price you are given includes VAT or whether it will be added to the invoice. Ask for the quote in writing, with the inspection fee and a note on whether that fee is deducted if you go ahead. A written estimate makes it easier to compare two technicians.

Season and the hot months

The winter from November to March is mild, and it is a good time to have an oven, dishwasher or washing machine checked. From May to September the heat is very strong, and fridges and freezers work harder in the kitchen. Book a check before summer so that a fault does not appear in the hottest weeks.

Visits and models across the emirates

Technicians come to homes in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain, so state your exact city and area. Give the device type, the brand and the model number, which is usually on a label inside the door or on the back, and the age of the appliance. Say whether it is built in or freestanding, and whether you want a home visit or a drop-off.

What to write in your request

Describe the fault in your own words, for example that the drum does not spin or the fridge is warm, and add a photo of the label if you have one. Add the date that suits you, whether a repair warranty is needed, and your budget in AED. This lets technicians give a price for the visit and the likely repair instead of a guess.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the fault once in a chat, and a photo can be added. The AI reads the request, asks for any missing details and looks through repair companies' websites and price lists in the UAE, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered technicians reply in the chat with their own offer, price and timing, and your phone number stays hidden until you choose to share it.
