Apartment Painting Services in Dubai
Painting an apartment is easy. Painting one without disrupting your life is not.
Fast, clean and low disruption, with the building rules handled.
MELLS paints villas and apartments across Dubai, with the preparation done properly first: cracks cut out and filled, surfaces sanded, dust removed and the correct primer applied before any finish coat.
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
The difference
Why a cheap painting is expensive
The gap is not the price. It is what is reached, and whether anyone can show you it was.
The low cost visit
- Straight over the old coat
- Cracks painted, not filled
- Tape skipped, edges cut freehand
- Furniture moved by you
- Whatever paint was on the van
- Flaking along the sunlit wall inside a year
The MELLS method
- Filled, sanded flat, dust removed, then primed
- Every junction masked and sealed before a brush is opened
- Furniture moved and sheeted by us
- Low odour, low VOC products as the default
- Two full coats, cut by hand at every edge
- A finish that still looks sharp when you hand the keys back
What happens after you message us
No surprises, at any point
Most hesitation in this industry is not about price. It is not knowing who is coming, when, or what it will cost.
- 01
The survey
We look at the property rather than a price list. Number of rooms, condition, surfaces, access, and anything that will take longer than it looks. Usually the same day you ask.
- 02
The written quote
A fixed price, in writing, before anyone starts. It states what is included and what is not. No day rate creep and no surprise line at the end.
- 03
The visit
A named supervisor and a crew you will see again. We give you the crew list and arrival window in advance, and we bring our own equipment and materials.
- 04
The check
The supervisor walks the property with you before the team leaves. If something is not right we deal with it then, not in a follow up call.
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.
About this service
What is apartment painting and what does it include?
You still have to sleep there tonight.
Most apartment repaints happen around the people living in them, in a space with no spare room to retreat to, in a building with rules about working hours, lift access, NOCs and where materials can be stored. Getting the walls right is the straightforward part. Getting it done without dust through the whole flat, without a paint smell in the bedroom at midnight, and without a dispute with building management, is the part that actually determines whether it goes well.
We work room by room so the apartment stays livable, contain dust properly rather than relying on an open window, and use low odour, low VOC paints as standard so the space is usable the same evening. Building approvals, NOCs and access arrangements are handled by us before the crew arrives. Most one and two bedroom apartments are completed in two to three days.

How the process works
Site visit and specification
We look at the actual surfaces, tell you what preparation they need, and quote against a written specification.
Protection and preparation
Furniture moved and covered, floors protected, surfaces washed, cracks raked out, filled and sanded flush.
Priming
Repairs and bare areas are spot primed so nothing flashes through the finish coat.
Two full coats
Applied in batch matched paint, with every edge and ceiling line cut in by hand.
Daily clean up
The site is left usable at the end of each day rather than treated as a building site.
Snagging walk
We walk the work with you at the end and correct whatever you point at, without a discussion about whether it counts.

View serviceFrequently asked questions
How much does apartment 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 apartment 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 apartment 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 apartment 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 apartment 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 much does it cost to paint a villa in Dubai?
It depends on the area, the condition of the walls and how much preparation is needed, so we survey and quote in writing. Preparation is most of the cost and all of the result.
How long does painting a villa take?
Typically three to seven days for a full interior depending on size and drying conditions. We sequence it so the property stays liveable.
Who are the best painters near me in Dubai?
MELLS uses directly employed painters rather than day labour, cuts edges by hand rather than spraying, and moves and sheets the furniture ourselves.
Why does paint fail so quickly in Dubai?
Usually because of UV on the afternoon elevation, movement cracking at junctions, or a surface that was never prepared before the last coat. The paint itself is rarely the problem.
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 is a deep clean different from a regular cleaning visit?
A regular visit maintains what is already clean. A deep clean resets the property, including the areas a routine service is not expected to reach: behind and under appliances, inside cabinets, along tracks and skirting, into upholstery and grout. Different equipment, different products, considerably more time.
How often should a Dubai home be deep cleaned?
Twice a year for most homes, typically before and after summer. Households with children, pets, or anyone with allergies usually benefit from quarterly. Move in, move out and post renovation cleans sit outside that cycle.
How often do AC ducts actually need cleaning?
Every eighteen to twenty four months for a typical Dubai property, and sooner after any renovation or if anyone in the home has asthma or allergies. Filters and vents need attention far more often, roughly quarterly.
Are your products safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use products selected for occupied family homes as the default, and full chemical free steam cleaning is available for households that prefer it. Pest control products are DM approved and applied by licensed technicians, and we always tell you when an area is safe to reoccupy.
Do you bring your own equipment and materials?
Yes. Our teams arrive fully equipped with professional grade machinery, products and materials. Nothing of yours is used.
