How Much Does It Cost to Fix Curtains in Dubai?

A curtain track that has pulled out of the ceiling, a curtain that will not slide, a blind stuck halfway. These are some of the most common household jobs in Dubai, and most are quick and affordable to fix. Here is what you can expect to pay.

Quick answer: Most small curtain repairs in Dubai cost from a minimum call-out of about AED 80 to 150, plus parts. Refixing a loose or fallen track typically adds a modest per-window charge and extra brackets at about AED 30 to 80 each. Motor resets and blind repairs are usually quick jobs. Sending a photo first gets you an estimate before anyone visits.

Fallen curtain track

This is the most common repair in Dubai apartments, usually because plastic plugs were used in gypsum. The old holes cannot be reused, so the bracket is moved and fixed into the ceiling frame or with proper anchors. Read why curtain tracks fall down for the full explanation.

Curtains that stick or will not close

Usually broken gliders, dust in the track or a bent rail. Replacing gliders is cheap. A kinked track may need replacing. See 7 common curtain problems and fixes.

Roller and zebra blind repairs

Worn chains, clutches and springs are quick part swaps. Brackets that came loose need refixing. Our roller blind troubleshooting guide helps you find the cause first.

Motorized curtain repairs

Many motor problems are fixed by resetting the end limits or re-pairing the remote, which is a short job. A failed motor costs more, depending on the brand.

Curtain alterations

Shortening, lengthening or changing header tape is usually priced per panel. Small alterations can sometimes be done on site.

Repair or replace?

• Repair: loose fixings, broken gliders, chains, springs, hems
• Replace: cracked or badly bent tracks, rusted rods, faded and brittle fabric

If the repair costs more than half the price of new, replacing is usually better value. For new installation prices, see the curtain installation cost guide.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a repair price without a visit?

Often yes. A clear photo or short video of the problem is usually enough for an estimate.

Is it worth fixing an old curtain track?

If the track itself is straight and only the fixings failed, yes. Bent or cracked tracks are better replaced.

How long does a curtain repair take?

Most repairs take under an hour once the technician is on site.
