Plumbing & Electrical Services in Dhaka
Experienced plumbers and electricians for rented and owner-occupied homes and offices in Dhaka: pumps, leaks, geysers, wiring and generator changeover.
Short answer: Rent Property provides plumbing and electrical services in Dhaka for rented and owner-occupied homes and offices. Our experienced plumbers and electricians handle water pump and tank faults, hidden leaks, geyser installation, distribution board and wiring problems, and generator changeover faults. Managed properties are covered within our maintenance arrangement; other clients receive a quotation before we attend.
Most everyday problems in Dhaka apartments come down to water or power. A failed pump can leave a flat without water, a concealed pipe leak can damage a neighbour's ceiling, and an overloaded circuit can trip every time the air-conditioning starts. Our plumbing and electrical service in Dhaka aims to find the cause and fix it properly, ideally in a single visit.
What plumbing and electrical problems do we fix?
Plumbing
- Water pumps and tanks: pump failures, float switches and overhead or underground tank problems.
- Concealed leaks behind tiles or in walls, traced before any tiles are broken where possible.
- Geysers: installation, replacement and faults with hot water.
- Sanitary fittings: taps, mixers, toilets, basins, showers and blocked drains.
Electrical
- Distribution (DB) board faults, tripping breakers and overloaded circuits.
- Wiring and earthing checks, repairs and new points.
- Generator changeover and load faults, so essential circuits stay on during power cuts.
- Fittings: lights, fans, switches, sockets and air-conditioner power supply.
Who is this service for?
We serve expatriate tenants living in homes let through Rent Property, landlords who want a reliable team for their properties, owner-occupiers, and businesses with offices in Dhaka. Tenants of managed properties simply report the problem to us. For external clients, we agree the price for the job before attending.
How quickly can a plumber or electrician come?
We usually respond within one working day, and urgent faults — no water, active leaks, sparking or burning smells, or total loss of power — are prioritised. Attendance time depends on the location, the time of day and traffic, so we confirm an expected time when you call. Our technicians carry the parts that cause the most common failures, so many visits can be completed first time rather than needing a second appointment.
Safety first: if you smell gas, see smoke or notice sparking, switch off the main supply if it is safe to do so, leave the area and call the national emergency number 999. Contact us once everyone is safe.
How does the service work?
- Tell us the problem by WhatsApp, phone or email, with a photo or short video if possible.
- Triage: we identify whether it is urgent and what parts may be needed.
- Price: external clients receive a quotation before we attend; managed properties follow the agreed maintenance arrangement.
- Visit: the technician diagnoses the cause and explains the fix.
- Repair: minor jobs are done on the spot; larger work is quoted and approved first.
- Completion: we test the system, tidy up and send an invoice or note of the work done.
What does plumbing and electrical work cost in Dhaka?
Prices depend on the fault, the parts required and how much access work is needed, so we quote each job rather than publishing a price list. Small repairs such as replacing a tap or a breaker are usually straightforward; tracing a concealed leak or rewiring part of a flat takes longer and costs more. We always confirm the price before work starts. Tenants renting a home should check their agreement for who pays for which repairs; our guide to utilities, internet and power back-up in Dhaka apartments covers the usual arrangements.
How can landlords avoid repeat call-outs?
Many repeat faults come from ageing pumps, undersized wiring or poor earthing. A periodic check of the pump, tanks, distribution board and generator changeover can prevent most emergency visits. For larger work, such as rewiring or bathroom renovation, see our building maintenance and repair service.
Which areas do we cover?
Our technicians work mainly in Gulshan, Banani, Baridhara and Bashundhara, and we can often cover nearby areas such as Badda, Niketon and Uttara.

Frequently asked questions
Who pays for plumbing or electrical repairs in a rented apartment in Dhaka?
It depends on the rental agreement. Commonly, landlords cover repairs to building systems and fixtures that fail through normal wear, while tenants pay for damage they cause and sometimes for minor consumables such as bulbs. Check your agreement before signing. For homes let through Rent Property, report the fault to us and we coordinate the repair according to the agreed terms.
Why does my apartment's circuit breaker keep tripping?
Frequent tripping is usually caused by an overloaded circuit, such as several air-conditioners or a geyser on one line, a faulty appliance, damp in a socket or junction box, or a failing breaker. It is a warning sign and should not be bypassed. Rent Property's electricians test the distribution board and circuits, find the cause and recommend a safe repair.
What should I do if there is no water in my Dhaka apartment?
First check whether the whole building is affected, which usually points to the pump, the overhead tank or the mains supply, or only your flat, which suggests a valve or internal pipe issue. Ask the building caretaker whether the pump is running. If the problem continues, contact Rent Property with details; loss of water supply is treated as an urgent fault.
Can you install a geyser or new electrical points?
Yes. We install and replace geysers, sanitary fittings, sockets, switches, lights and fans, and add new electrical points where the existing wiring can safely take the load. For tenants, the landlord's permission is normally needed before installations. Rent Property confirms the price before work starts and tests everything on completion, including earthing for geysers and bathroom circuits.
