Where a bad decision stays hidden longest

Plumbing, electrical and mechanical work is where an owner is least equipped to judge what they are being told, and where the wrong call stays buried in a wall for years. We show you the fault, explain the options, and quote before we touch it.

  • You see the fault before you approve the fix
  • Written quote, no parts added afterwards
  • One team, so no trade blames another

Before anything is quoted

We look at the property before we put a number on it

A price list cannot see your marble, your ducts, or the wall the afternoon sun hits. So we come and look. A senior member of the team surveys the property, and you receive a written quotation the same day, itemised, with what is included and what is not.

No obligation. If we are not the right company for the job we will say so, and tell you who is.

  1. 01
    The survey

    We look at the property, not a price list. Usually the same day you ask.

  2. 02
    The written quote

    Fixed, itemised, and sent the same day. What is included, and what is not.

  3. 03
    The work

    A named supervisor and a crew you will see again. Our own equipment and materials.

  4. 04
    The walkthrough

    We walk the property with you before the team leaves. Anything not right is dealt with then.

About this service

What is swimming pool maintenance and what does it include?

A pool that looks perfect can still be out of range, and a pool that is out of range costs money in equipment before it costs anything else.

Water clarity is the thing everyone judges a pool by, and it is close to the least reliable indicator there is. Chlorine can be sitting at nothing while the water is still crystal clear. pH drifting high stops the chlorine working properly and lets scale form on the tile line and inside the heater. pH drifting low quietly attacks the plaster, the grout and every metal fitting in the circuit. In Dubai the evaporation rate makes all of this move faster than owners expect, which is why a pool left alone for three weeks in July is not the same pool.

We service on a weekly schedule and treat chemistry as the actual job rather than an afterthought. Free and total chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness and stabiliser are tested on site and corrected in range, not topped up by eye. Skimmer and pump baskets are cleared, the pool is brushed and vacuumed, the waterline is cleaned before it becomes a permanent mark, and filters are backwashed or cartridge cleaned on their own schedule rather than whenever someone remembers. Pump, heater, chlorinator and any automation are checked while we are there, and you get the readings after each visit rather than a note saying the pool was serviced.

Signs you need this service

Water is cloudy, green, or clear but you have no idea of the readings
A ring or scale line has formed at the tile
Chlorine smell is strong, which usually means the opposite of clean
Skin or eye irritation after swimming
The pump is running louder or is short cycling
Filter pressure is higher than normal
Nobody has cleaned the filter in months
You are away regularly and the pool is unattended

What is included

  • Weekly or fortnightly scheduled service visits
  • On site testing of chlorine, pH, alkalinity, hardness and stabiliser
  • Chemical correction to bring readings into range
  • Surface skimming, brushing and vacuuming
  • Skimmer and pump basket clearing
  • Waterline and tile line cleaning
  • Filter backwash or cartridge clean on schedule
  • Pump, motor and heater operational check
  • Chlorinator, dosing and automation check
  • Readings and service record sent after each visit
Good to know. Dubai summer evaporation moves chemistry faster than most owners expect. Weekly is the right interval here from May through September, whatever worked elsewhere.

Benefits of doing it properly

  • Chemistry corrected to measured readings, not by eye
  • Equipment protected from scale and from corrosive water
  • Filters cleaned on schedule rather than at failure
  • Water safe to swim in, not merely clear to look at
  • Problems found while they are still cheap to fix
  • Readings recorded after every visit
  • Same technician, so your pool's history is known
  • One team if plumbing, electrical or tiling work is needed

How the process works

01

Site visit

We look at the pool, the plant room, the equipment and how it has been running.

02

Baseline readings

A full test before anything is agreed, so you know where the water actually is.

03

Written schedule and quote

Fixed monthly price, visit frequency set out, and what each visit covers.

04

Weekly service

Test, correct, clean, and check the equipment while we are on site.

05

Filter and equipment care

Backwash and cartridge cleaning on their own schedule, with wear reported before it fails.

06

Reporting

Readings and a short service note after each visit, so nothing is taken on trust.

Frequently asked questions

How much does swimming pool maintenance cost in Dubai?

There is no fixed rate card. Price follows the size and condition of the property, so a senior member of the team surveys it first and you get a written, itemised quotation the same day. The figure on that quotation is the figure you pay.

Who does swimming pool maintenance near me in Dubai?

MELLS covers ninety communities across Dubai and works in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises. Message +971 58 656 3001 on WhatsApp with your community and we will confirm availability.

What is the best swimming pool maintenance company in Dubai?

Judge any company on three things: whether the team is directly employed or subcontracted, whether the quote is fixed in writing before work starts, and whether a supervisor walks the property with you at the end. MELLS does all three as standard.

How quickly can you start swimming pool maintenance?

Survey usually the same day you ask, quotation the same day, and work scheduled within forty eight hours in most cases. Urgent call outs are handled the same day where the team is free.

Is swimming pool maintenance safe for children and pets?

Yes. Products are selected for occupied family homes as the default, re entry times are told to you before we leave, and anything stronger is only ever used with your agreement.

How do I get a quote from MELLS?

Message us on WhatsApp on +971 58 656 3001 or call the same number. A senior member of the team surveys the property and you receive a written itemised quotation the same day.

Which areas of the UAE does MELLS cover?

Ninety communities across Dubai for residential work, and Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises.

How often does a pool in Dubai need servicing?

Weekly through the summer, without much argument. Evaporation and heat move the chemistry quickly here, and fortnightly is realistic only in the cooler months.

The water is clear. Does it still need chemicals?

Clear water tells you very little. Chlorine can be at zero in a perfectly clear pool, and pH drifting out of range damages plaster, grout and equipment long before the water looks wrong.

Why does the pool smell strongly of chlorine?

Usually because there is not enough free chlorine, not too much. That smell is chloramines, which form when chlorine has been used up. It is a sign the water needs attention.

Do you service the equipment as well as the water?

Yes. Pump, motor, heater, chlorinator, dosing and automation are checked on every visit, and filters are cleaned on schedule. Plumbing and electrical work is handled by our own team.

Can you look after the pool while we travel?

Yes, and it is one of the more common reasons people move to a contract. You get the readings and a service note after each visit wherever you are.

The difference

Why a cheap swimming Pool Maintenance job is expensive

The gap is not the price. It is what is actually reached, and whether anyone can show you it was.

The low cost visit

  • A price given over the phone, sight unseen
  • A small crew, in and out inside a few hours
  • Subcontracted labour you have never met before
  • The hard to reach areas quietly skipped
  • One product used on every surface in the property
  • Booked again within weeks because nothing was resolved

The MELLS method

  • A senior surveyor attends before any figure is given
  • A crew sized to the property, with a named supervisor
  • Directly employed, vetted, trained staff, nothing subcontracted
  • A written checklist covering the areas nobody else reaches
  • Products chosen per surface, stone treated as stone
  • Photographs on completion and a walk through with you
