Project snapshot
Client: Long-term family homeowner · Location: Mirdif · Budget band: AED 40,000 – 55,000 · Completed: 22 October 2025
The challenge
- Recurring damp patches under two upstairs bathrooms
- Previous contractor had re-grouted without membrane works
- Family needed at least one bathroom available always
- Uncertainty whether issue was plumbing or membrane failure
FixUp solution
- Inspection and isolation testing to prioritise root causes
- Sequenced strip-out: bathroom A complete before bathroom B
- Full wet-area waterproofing rebuilds with proper detailing
- Selective plumbing repairs at failed junctions
- Retile and sanitaryware refresh as part of durable remodel
Scope of work
Diagnosis
2 × wet-area waterproofing rebuilds
Plumbing repairs
Tiling & sanitaryware
Snagging
Results
- Damp recurrence stopped in monitored areas
- Two bathrooms modernised rather than repeatedly patched
- Family always had functional bathroom access
- Written scope helped client understand why cheap re-grout failed
“Other teams wanted to ‘just tile again’. FixUp showed us why that would fail. More expensive upfront — cheaper than the third leak.”
