Masonry service costs in Dubai vary widely depending on the type of work, the materials involved, and the size of the project. Repair jobs such as tile replacement or crack patching typically start from AED 200. Tiling and flooring masonry service is commonly priced per square foot — starting from around AED 25 per sq.ft for ceramic and porcelain, with marble and natural stone at higher rates depending on the material. Structural and waterproofing masonry service starts from AED 1,500 for project-based work. All prices listed are indicative — your accurate quote is provided after a professional on-site assessment.

Tile cracking and lifting in Dubai properties is extremely common and is usually caused by one or more of the following: inadequate adhesive coverage leaving hollow spots beneath the tile, insufficient expansion joints to accommodate thermal movement in the concrete slab, poor substrate preparation, or moisture ingress from below. Dubai's extreme temperature fluctuations — between the cool interior of air-conditioned spaces and the hot concrete slab — cause significant thermal expansion and contraction that poorly installed tiles cannot accommodate. A proper masonry service assessment will identify the root cause and recommend the correct repair approach.

Roof waterproofing as part of a masonry service typically takes one to three days depending on the roof area, the condition of the existing surface, and the waterproofing system being applied. The process involves clearing and cleaning the roof surface, applying a primer coat, laying the waterproofing membrane or liquid coating in the specified number of coats, and finishing with a protective UV-stable topcoat. For torch-on bituminous membrane systems, additional time may be needed for surface preparation and cooling between coats. We confirm the timeline during the site assessment.

We make every effort to match existing tiles for repair masonry service work, and in many cases achieve a very close or exact match. The success of matching depends on how common the original tile is, whether the tile is still in production, and whether the client has any leftover tiles from the original installation. If you have spare tiles from the original job, that is always the best option. If not, we can take a sample tile to major Dubai tile suppliers to find the closest available match. For natural stone like marble, exact matching is more challenging due to natural variation, but we can typically find a very close alternative.

Both are popular choices for masonry service tiling work, but they differ in density and porosity. Porcelain is fired at a higher temperature and is denser, harder, and less porous than ceramic — making it more resistant to moisture absorption, staining, and wear. It is the better choice for high-traffic areas, outdoor use, and wet areas like bathrooms. Ceramic is lighter, easier to cut, and generally less expensive — suitable for moderate-traffic residential areas and walls. For Dubai's climate, porcelain is generally recommended for any floor application, particularly in areas exposed to temperature extremes or moisture. Our masonry service team will advise on the most appropriate choice for your specific location and usage.

Yes — our masonry service includes demolition and removal of existing floor or wall tiles, screed, or other surface materials prior to new installation work. We carry out the demolition carefully to minimise damage to the surrounding structure, particularly in occupied properties where adjacent finished surfaces need to be protected. All demolished material is collected and disposed of responsibly. If you require demolition as part of a broader renovation, we can coordinate the sequencing of masonry service work alongside other trades to keep the project moving efficiently.

Marble is a porous natural stone that requires some care to maintain in Dubai's environment. After installation as part of a masonry service, marble floors should be sealed with a penetrating stone sealer to reduce porosity and resist staining. Avoid acidic cleaning products — including vinegar and lemon-based cleaners — which etch the surface. For daily cleaning, use a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft mop. Wipe spills promptly, particularly red wine, coffee, and citrus juices. Periodic re-sealing every one to two years maintains the protection. If the surface becomes dull or scratched over time, marble can be honed and re-polished as part of a maintenance masonry service to restore its original appearance.

In some cases, yes — particularly where the leak is traceable to a specific failed point such as cracked grout, a failed silicone joint around the bath or shower tray, or a damaged wall tile. Our masonry service team assesses the source of the leak carefully before recommending the repair approach. If the waterproofing membrane beneath the tiles has failed comprehensively, full retiling with a new waterproofing layer will be necessary. However, if the substrate is sound and the leak source is localised, targeted repairs — including grout replacement, resealing, and isolated tile replacement — can resolve the problem without the cost and disruption of a full refit.

Plaster cracking in Dubai properties is a very common masonry service issue, caused primarily by thermal movement in the building structure, shrinkage cracking from rapid drying in Dubai's heat and low humidity, building settlement, or inadequate surface bonding during the original plaster application. Fine hairline cracks are usually cosmetic and can be filled and painted. Wider or recurring cracks — particularly those that open and close with the seasons — indicate movement in the underlying structure and require a proper masonry service assessment to determine whether the cause is structural or purely thermal movement before repair is carried out.
