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.

Filling, sanding and priming a wall before painting, by MELLS in Abu Dhabi

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

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.

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

About this service

Villa Painting in Abu Dhabi, and what it involves

Almost every paint job that fails early fails on the preparation, not on the paint.

What separates a repaint that still looks right in three years from one that does not is almost entirely what happened before the first coat. Cracks filled properly rather than skimmed over, previous flaking removed back to sound material, the correct primer for the substrate, and moisture checked before anything is sealed in. Exterior work here has the additional problem that UV and heat are relentless, so a coating specified for a milder climate fades and chalks far faster than the tin suggests. Abu Dhabi's commercial floorspace skews towards larger, newer towers on Al Maryah and Al Reem, government and semi government occupiers with formal procurement, and a substantial industrial belt at Mussafah and ICAD.

We prepare first and quote it as its own line, so you can see what you are paying for rather than having it hidden inside a rate per square metre. Cracks are cut out and filled, surfaces are scraped, sanded and primed to suit the substrate, and moisture is checked where staining suggests it should be. Furniture, flooring, joinery and glazing are properly masked and protected, not covered with a sheet and hoped for. Exterior work is specified for UV and heat rather than generic. Building management on Al Maryah and Al Reem generally requires contractor passes and insurance documentation submitted in advance, and most towers restrict heavy works to defined out of hours windows.

Coastal and island properties in Abu Dhabi take salt air as well as UV, which attacks exterior coatings and metalwork faster than inland exposure does. Exterior specification matters more here, and we price it for the elevation rather than applying one product to the whole envelope.

Signs you need this service

Paint flaking, bubbling or chalking
Colour visibly faded on sun facing elevations
Hairline cracking across walls or ceilings

What is included

  • Full surface preparation quoted as its own line
  • Crack cutting, filling and skim repair
  • Scraping, sanding and removal of failed coatings

  • Exterior and facade coatings specified for UV and heat
  • Joinery, door and frame painting
  • Full masking of furniture, flooring, joinery and glazing

Good to know. Abu Dhabi building managements tend to want contractor documentation and insurance in advance. We handle that submission rather than leaving it with your office manager.

Frequently asked questions

How much does villa painting cost in Abu Dhabi?

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 villa painting near me in Abu Dhabi?

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 villa painting company in Abu Dhabi?

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 villa 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 villa 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 long does a villa repaint take in Abu Dhabi?

It depends on size and how much preparation the walls need. We give you a written programme with the quote rather than a vague estimate, and we work across Al Maryah Island, Al Reem Island and the wider emirate.

Can we stay in the villa during the work?

Usually yes. We work room by room, use low odour products where you would prefer them, and mask and clean down daily.

Do you subcontract the work?

No. Every technician is recruited, trained and vetted by us, and supervised on site. It is the reason quality does not vary between one visit and the next.

How do we get a price?

We survey the premises first, because a price list cannot see your floor. You receive a written, itemised quotation the same day, with no obligation.

Do you bring your own equipment?

Yes. Our teams arrive fully equipped with professional grade machinery, products and materials. Nothing of yours is used.

The difference

Why a cheap villa Painting job is expensive

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

  • Visible failure along the sun wall inside a year

The MELLS method
