About this service
What antifungal and anti-mould wall painting actually involves
Painting over mould with a fungicidal paint and calling it solved is the most common mistake in this category.
Mould on a Dubai wall is almost never a paint problem. It is a water problem showing up on the paint. The usual sources are a bathroom or planter on the other side of the wall, a chilled water pipe or duct sweating inside the void, an AC drain that is blocked, or a facade that lets driving winter rain through a failed joint.
An antifungal paint does what its name says: it resists fungal growth on its own film. It does not stop water arriving. Apply it over a wall that is still being wetted and the growth returns behind the film, lifts it, and you repaint the same wall a third time.
So the order matters. Find the water, deal with it, treat what is already there, let the substrate dry, and only then paint with a system chosen for the exposure.
Preparation is most of the work, and all of the result
Cracks filled, the wall sanded flat, dust removed, then primed. Skip any one of those and the paint tells on you within a year, usually along the wall the afternoon sun lands on.
- Filler, sand, dust removal, primer, then two coats
- Furniture moved and sheeted by us, not by you
- Edges cut by hand, no overspray on stone or glass
Cut by hand, masked properly
A straight line at a ceiling or a skirting is done with a brush and a steady hand. Tape alone leaves a ridge you will see every time the light moves.
- Ceilings, skirtings and reveals cut by hand
- Stone, glass and joinery masked and protected
- Site left clean at the end of every day
The right paint for a Dubai wall
Heat, humidity and direct sun break down a cheap emulsion quickly. Specification is chosen for the elevation and the room, not for the invoice.
- Products specified per elevation and room use
- Full coverage, not a thinned second coat
- Touch up left on site in a labelled tin
What is included
- Moisture metre readings across the affected area and the wall behind it, to locate the source rather than the symptom
- Inspection of the adjacent bathroom, planter, AC drain or duct void where the water is likely coming from
- Biocidal treatment and removal of existing growth, not painting over it
- Removal of blown or unsound plaster back to a sound substrate
- Drying time allowed properly, with readings taken before priming rather than a guess
- Alkali resistant and moisture tolerant primer suited to the substrate
- Fungicidal finish system, with a bathroom or wet area grade where that is what the room needs
- Honest report if the real fix is waterproofing or a plumbing repair rather than painting
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.
- 01The survey
We look at the property, not a price list. Usually the same day you ask.
- 02The written quote
Fixed, itemised, and sent the same day. What is included, and what is not.
- 03The work
A named supervisor and a crew you will see again. Our own equipment and materials.
- 04The walkthrough
We walk the property with you before the team leaves. Anything not right is dealt with then.
Frequently asked questions
How much does antifungal wall painting 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 antifungal wall painting 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 antifungal wall painting 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 antifungal wall painting?
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 antifungal wall painting 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.
Will antifungal paint stop the mould coming back?
Only if the water source has been dealt with. On its own it slows growth on the paint film and nothing more. Anyone promising otherwise is selling you a repeat visit.
How do you find where the water is coming from?
Moisture readings across the wall and the rooms either side, plus inspection of the obvious suspects: bathroom waterproofing, planters, AC drains and pipe voids.
Is mould in a dubai home a health issue?
It can affect people with asthma and allergies, which is why we treat it as an air quality issue rather than a decorating one, and why we would rather fix the cause.
Can you do just one wall?
Yes, though matching a partial wall on an older paint finish rarely looks invisible. We will tell you when a full wall or full room is the better result.
What if the fix is not painting at all?
Then that is what the report says. Waterproofing failures and plumbing leaks need the actual repair, and we would rather lose the paint job than do it twice.

How the process works
Tell us about the property
A message on WhatsApp with the community and the size of the property is enough to start. No forms and no call centre.
A survey, usually the same day
A senior member of the team looks at the actual property rather than a price list, and notes what needs particular attention.
A written, itemised quotation
Sent the same day. It states what is included and what is not. No day rate creep and no line added at the end.
The team arrives fully equipped
Everything needed comes with them. There is nothing for you to buy, prepare or supply.
Supervised throughout
A supervisor is on site, not on the phone, and the work is checked as it progresses rather than only at the end.
You walk it with us
Nothing is signed off until you have seen it. Anything you are not happy with is put right before we leave.
