A leak, a blocked drain, or no water? Here are rough prices, what usually causes the problem, and how to agree a job with a plumber without surprises.
Rough prices for work in homes. The final price depends on the problem, the parts and how hard it is to reach.
| Service | Rough price |
|---|---|
| Call-out and inspection | SAR 100 – 250 |
| Small job (tap, washing machine, sink) | SAR 120 – 300 |
| Unblocking a drain (bathroom or kitchen) | SAR 200 – 400 |
| Leak detection without breaking walls | SAR 150 – 800 |
| Water heater installation | SAR 150 – 700 |
| Water pump or tank float, fitted or repaired | SAR 300 – 450 |
💡 Save small jobs for one visit: a dripping tap, a running toilet, a washing machine connection. Cheaper than a call-out for each.
🔍 Electronic leak detection costs more than a basic visit, but it can save you from breaking tiles and walls for nothing.

Usually the pump, the tank float or a closed valve. A plumber will check the pump first.
Usually a hidden leak or a toilet that runs constantly. Turn off every tap and see if the meter still moves.
Usually wipes, or grease in the kitchen. If more than one bathroom is blocked, it's probably the main line.
Often a dried-out floor drain trap or poor ventilation. Pour water down the floor drain and see if it helps.
A sign of a leak inside the wall. Don't wait; the damage spreads to tiles and even wiring.
Usually the thermostat or the heating element. First check its breaker is switched on.
