- Repainting an existing colour
- Changing to a new colour
- Painting selected rooms
- Painting the full interior

Doors, trims, skirting and other surfaces can be added to the quotation where required.
Apartment and Villa Painting
We provide painting services for occupied and vacant apartments and villas across Dubai.
The scope may include:
- A single room
- Selected internal areas
- Full internal repainting
- Suitable external surfaces
- Doors, frames and trims
- Painting after maintenance or repair work
- Preparing a property for sale or rent
Occupied properties can also be painted. Where needed, the work can be organised in stages to reduce disruption.
If the property also requires flooring, joinery, plumbing, electrical, ceiling or layout work, we can assess whether a wider apartment renovation or villa renovation service is more suitable.
Office, Shop and Commercial Painting
We paint offices, shops, retail units and other suitable commercial premises.
Painting can be arranged:
- Before a business opens
- Before a new tenant occupies the unit
- During a scheduled property refresh
- As part of minor refurbishment work
- Before commercial handover
Commercial work is planned around the building’s access rules, approved working hours and business requirements.
Projects involving partitions, flooring, joinery, electrical work or layout changes may require a wider office renovation, office fit-out or retail fit-out service.
Move-In, Move-Out and Handover Painting
We provide painting before moving in, moving out, inspection or property handover.
The work can include:
- Repainting marked walls
- Restoring an agreed neutral colour
- Refreshing selected rooms
- Painting surfaces affected by normal occupancy
- Completing agreed touch-ups
If the painting is required for handover, confirm the required colour and condition with the landlord or property manager before work begins.
Exterior Walls and Selected Surfaces
We can paint suitable villa walls, boundary walls and selected exterior surfaces.
Doors, frames, trims, skirting and selected wood or metal surfaces can also be included.
Exterior painting depends on:
- Surface condition
- Existing coating
- Sun and weather exposure
- Access requirements
- Nearby areas requiring protection
- The paint system required
Wood, metal, plaster and concrete may require different preparation and coating systems.
Furniture restoration, cabinet refinishing, spray finishing, decorative plaster and specialist wall finishes are assessed separately.
What Is Included in the Painting Service?
Your quotation confirms exactly what is included in the job.
Depending on the property and agreed scope, the service can include the following.
Property Protection
Before painting begins, we protect the agreed surrounding areas.
This can include:
- Covering floors
- Covering or repositioning furniture
- Masking adjacent surfaces
- Protecting switches and sockets
- Protecting fixed fixtures
- Protecting doors, windows and trims not being painted
Large furniture movement, dismantling or storage is included only when agreed in advance.
Customers should remove valuable, delicate and personal belongings from the work area.
Minor Surface Preparation
Minor preparation can include:
- Cleaning suitable surfaces
- Removing small areas of loose paint
- Light sanding
- Filling minor nail holes
- Filling superficial cracks
- Applying primer where required
Significant damage, water problems, deep cracks and major plaster repairs are assessed separately.
Paint Application
Paint is applied according to the agreed colour, product, finish and surface requirements.
The number of coats depends on:
- Existing colour
- Requested colour
- Surface condition
- Paint coverage
- Primer requirements
- Required final appearance
Changing from a dark colour to a much lighter colour may require a different preparation and application process from repainting a similar shade.
Cleanup
After the work is complete, protective coverings are removed and the immediate work area is cleaned.
Specialist deep cleaning is not included unless stated separately in the quotation.
Our Painting Process
1. Send an Enquiry
Tell us where the property is, what you want painted and send photos or videos if available.
2. Property Assessment
We review the project and confirm whether a site visit is required. Where needed, we check measurements, surface condition, access, repair requirements and project timing.
3. Receive Your Quotation
Your quotation confirms: Surfaces included Preparation work Paint specification Labour and materials Exclusions Optional work Expected schedule Payment terms
4. Access and Scheduling
Once the quotation is approved, we confirm the start date, property access and any building requirements.
5. Painting and Handover
The finished surfaces are inspected, agreed snags are corrected and the customer or authorised representative completes the final walkthrough.
Paint and Finish Options
The right paint depends on the surface, room use, required durability and preferred appearance.
Important considerations include:
- Interior or exterior use
- Surface material
- Moisture exposure
- Washability
- Frequency of cleaning
- Required durability
- Desired sheen

Matt
Matt paint has a low-reflective appearance and may reduce the visibility of minor surface imperfections. Washability depends on the selected product.

Low-Sheen or Eggshell
Low-sheen and eggshell finishes have a slight sheen and may be easier to clean than traditional flat finishes.

Satin
Satin has a more noticeable sheen and may suit selected surfaces that require regular wiping.

Semi-Gloss
Semi-gloss is more reflective and is commonly considered for doors, trims and selected surfaces requiring easier cleaning.
The agreed paint specification should be recorded in the quotation.
Decorative plaster, textured coatings, wallpaper and specialist feature finishes are separate wall-finishing services.
When Repairs Are Required Before Painting
Painting works best when the underlying surface is stable.
Minor preparation can normally deal with:
- Nail holes
- Superficial cracks
- Small loose-paint areas
- Light filling
- Light sanding
Separate repair may be required for:
- Active water leakage
- Recurring dampness
- Mould caused by unresolved moisture
- Deep or recurring cracks
- Hollow or damaged plaster
- Concrete deterioration
- Major ceiling damage
- Electrical or plumbing defects
- Significant wall alterations
Painting over an unresolved defect may temporarily hide the visible mark, but the damage can return.
Where required, we can assess related waterproofing, plumbing, plaster, civil or maintenance work separately.
What Affects Painting Cost in Dubai?
Painting cost depends on the actual work required, not floor area alone.
Two properties with the same floor area can have different costs because their wall dimensions, surfaces, condition and access requirements may be different.
Areas Being Painted
The quotation may consider:
- Number of rooms
- Wall dimensions
- Ceilings
- Doors and frames
- Trims and skirting
- Feature walls
- Staircases
- Exterior surfaces
Surface Condition
Additional labour or materials may be required for:
- Filling
- Sanding
- Loose-paint removal
- Plaster repairs
- Stain treatment
- Primer application
- Previously damaged surfaces
Paint Selection
Cost may also depend on:
- Interior or exterior paint
- Product range
- Finish
- Colour change
- Number of colours
- Primer requirements
- Washable or specialist coatings
Access and Occupancy
The cost and schedule may be affected by:
- Occupied or vacant property
- Furniture and property protection
- Restricted working hours
- High ceilings
- Exterior access
- Lift bookings
- Parking and loading arrangements
- Security registration
- Phased work around occupants or business operations
A final price can be confirmed after the scope and surface condition have been assessed.
How Long Does Painting Take?
The schedule depends on the property size, areas being painted, surface condition, preparation, drying time and access.
A small repaint with stable walls will normally require less time than a full villa repaint with repairs, high ceilings or several colours.
Your expected start date and project duration are confirmed with the quotation.
Building Access and Approvals in Dubai
Some apartment buildings, communities and commercial properties require contractor registration or access approval before work begins.
Building or community management may request:
- Contractor information
- Trade-licence documents
- Worker identification
- Vehicle details
- Security registration
- Approved working hours
- Lift or loading-area bookings
- An entry permit
- An NOC or work permit
Requirements vary by property and project scope.
We confirm relevant access requirements before scheduling the work.
Projects involving partitions, electrical work, plumbing, ceilings, joinery or layout changes may require a wider fit-out approval process.
