Bathroom & Kitchen Inspection Services in Dubai
The electrical socket next to your shower needs to meet a specific safety zone rating — and the waterproofing under your tiles needs to pass a water test before anyone tiled over it. We check both, not just the finish on top.

Why It Matters
The Two Most Technically Complex Rooms in Any Property
Dubai’s fast-paced construction timelines mean bathrooms and kitchens — where plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, and tiling all meet in a small space — are where corners get cut most often.
The Standard We Inspect Against
Electrical fittings near water are governed by IP-rated safety zones. Anything inside or directly above a bath or shower needs a minimum IP44 rating with 30mA RCD protection — some zones require full IP67 and 12V-only fittings. We test whether your sockets and fixtures actually meet the zone they’re installed in.
We also check water pressure against the 2-bar threshold used to flag low-pressure defects, and verify waterproofing membranes were tested before tiling — not just applied.

Client Reviews
What Clients Say After Their Inspection
Found a socket right by our shower that didn't meet the safety zone rating. Genuinely could have been dangerous — developer fixed it immediately.
Our kitchen water pressure was well under 2 bar and we had no idea until the inspection. Explained exactly what to ask the plumber to fix.
Caught a waterproofing issue behind the shower wall before we moved in. Would have cost us thousands to fix ourselves after handover.

FAQ
Common Questions
When should I book a bathroom and kitchen snagging inspection?
You should book the inspection before property handover, before moving in, or immediately after renovation work. This ensures defects are identified while the developer or contractor is still responsible for repairs.
How long does a bathroom and kitchen inspection take?
The inspection time depends on the size and condition of the property. On average, a bathroom and kitchen snagging inspection takes between 1 and 2 hours, followed by a detailed report.
Will I receive a written snagging report?
Yes. You will receive a comprehensive, developer-ready snagging report that includes defect descriptions, high-quality photos, and professional recommendations for rectification.
Can this inspection help reduce future repair costs?
Absolutely. Identifying plumbing, waterproofing, electrical, and finishing issues early helps prevent expensive repairs, water damage, and long-term maintenance problems.
Do you inspect both new and occupied properties?
Yes. Dubshy provides bathroom and kitchen snagging inspections for newly handed-over properties, occupied homes, and post-renovation inspections across Dubai.
