- These are indicative ranges for comparison, not an official tariff. The real price depends on the details: size, floor, condition and area.
- Figures are labour only. Materials and parts (a water heater, a mixer, paint, a light fitting) are charged on top unless agreed otherwise.
- Many tradesmen charge a call-out or inspection fee, often credited against the work if you go ahead. Ask about it before they come.
- If a quote is far below the table, ask why. If it's far above, ask for an itemised breakdown.
Plumber prices
Leaks, drain clearing, water heaters and mixers. Prices are labour only; parts are on you. If the leak is inside a wall, breaking and re-laying tiles raises the bill.
Details and what to ask before you agree: see the guide "Plumber Prices in Cairo 2026".

Before you agree with any tradesman
- Send a written description and photos before the visit — he brings the right tools and gives you a more realistic price.
- Agree the price and materials before he starts, not after he finishes.
- Ask about a warranty on the work: how many days, and covering what exactly.
- Batch small jobs into one visit — you pay the call-out once instead of several times.
- Inspect and test the work yourself before you pay.
Eidak: offers from tradesmen near you
Instead of calling five tradesmen and asking each one "how much?", post your task on Eidak with details and photos. Tradesmen near you send offers, and you compare on price and reviews.
Your money is held in escrow until the job is done and you confirm it. Minimum task value is 200 EGP; Eidak adds 10% on top of the bid, and the tradesman receives 100% of what they bid.

- How much does a carpenter charge?
- Repairing a wooden door is roughly 250–700 EGP, and fitting curtains 150–500 EGP per window. Made-to-measure wardrobes and kitchens are priced mainly by material and size.
- What do general home maintenance jobs cost?
- A handyman visit for small repairs is roughly 200–500 EGP for the first hour, and mounting a TV on the wall 200–500 EGP. Batch your list into one visit to save.
- Do these prices include materials?
- No. The tables are labour only; materials and parts are charged on top. Agree up front whether you or the tradesman supplies them — and if he does, ask for the receipt.
- Why does the same job cost different amounts from different tradesmen?
- Because the price depends on many things: the area, the floor and whether there's a lift, the condition of the space, urgency, and the tradesman's own experience. That's why the best approach is to get several offers on the same description and compare.
- How do I make sure the work is done properly before I pay?
- Agree the price and warranty before work starts, and test the work yourself before paying. On Eidak the money is held in escrow and isn't released to the tradesman until you confirm the job is done, and the whole agreement is kept in the chat.
