Painting Services in Dubai
Most bad paintwork is a preparation problem rather than a paint problem. We deal with what is under the surface before anything goes on top of it.
Common Painting Problems We Fix
Most bad paintwork is a preparation problem rather than a paint problem. Here is what is usually going on.
Paint lifts because something underneath it is wrong, normally moisture or a surface that was never prepared. Painting over it buys you a few months at most. We strip back, find out why, treat the cause and then repaint.
We seal the moisture source before anything else. A stain covered with ordinary paint bleeds back through within weeks, and damp behind a wall keeps working whatever colour is over it. Anti-damp primer goes on after the source is dealt with, not instead of dealing with it.
Treated with an anti-fungal solution first, then primed and painted. Covering mould without killing it just gives it a fresh surface to come back through, which is why the patch always returns in the same spot.
Dubai's UV is hard on paint, and it is hardest on the cheap grades. South and west-facing exteriors go first, which is why one wall of a villa often looks years older than the rest.
Hairline cracks, patched holes and rough render all show through a fresh coat rather than disappearing under it. Filled, skim coated and sanded flat before we open a tin, because paint follows the surface it is put on.
A shade that looks right on a chip can read completely differently on four walls in Dubai light. We bring samples and put them on your wall before you commit, which takes ten minutes and saves repainting a room.

Types of Painting Services in Dubai
Interiors, ceilings, feature walls, exterior facades and boundary walls. Villas are usually phased so you keep living in the house while we work, rather than moving out for a fortnight.
Studio through to four bedrooms, in every Dubai building type from older concrete to newer drywall. We match existing colours where you only want part of the flat done, which is more common than a full repaint.
Offices, retail units, warehouses and hospitality. Scheduled for evenings and weekends so trading is not interrupted, and coordinated with your FM or fit-out team on access and permits.
Walls, ceilings, feature walls, dado rails and skirting. Low-VOC and odour-controlled paints mean you can use the room again quickly rather than living with the smell for a week.
Facades, boundary walls, gates and rooftops with weatherproof and UV-resistant coatings. The prep matters more outside than in, because a coating applied over a dusty or chalky surface in Dubai will not hold whatever it costs.
Venetian plaster, sand texture, Italian finish and stucco. We bring sample boards for approval before starting, since these are far harder to change once they are on the wall.
How It Works
Preparation is the stage that decides how the job looks in two years.
We see the property, check the surface condition and agree the colours and finish. The quote covers materials, preparation and labour as one figure, so preparation is not an extra somebody adds later.
Furniture covered, floors sheeted, edges masked. Cracks filled, surfaces sanded, damp and mould treated, primer applied. This is the stage that decides how the job looks in two years, and it is the stage cheap quotes leave out.
Two coats as standard, more where the colour change needs it. We clean up fully and walk the job with you before anyone calls it finished.
What Painting Costs in Dubai
A one-bedroom apartment starts at AED 800 + VAT and typically runs to around AED 1,200 depending on the wall condition, the ceiling height and the paint specified.
Villas, exteriors and decorative finishes are quoted after a visit. Surface condition moves the price more than square metres do, because walls needing skim coating and crack repair take far longer than sound ones.
The quote is fixed and covers preparation, materials and labour together. If we find damp or a structural crack once we start stripping back, we stop and show you rather than painting over it or adding to the bill at the end. The visit and the quote are free.

Why Choose WEFIX for Painting
Filling, sanding, priming, treating damp and mould. A cheap quote is almost always a quote with the preparation taken out, and it is the reason paint that went on beautifully looks tired within a year.
Damp, mould and cracks get dealt with, or we tell you what needs doing first. You are paying for the finish to last, and it will not if something behind it is still wet.
Furniture covered, floors sheeted, fittings masked, and everything cleared away at the end. Paint on a skirting board is a bad finish, paint on your sofa is a different conversation.
Samples applied in the actual room before you commit, because Dubai light makes a shade behave differently from how it looks on a chip. Ten minutes here saves repainting a room.
Homes phased room by room so you can stay in the property. Offices and retail done evenings and weekends. A repaint should not mean moving out or closing.
DED licence 856870, ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certified, third-party liability and workmen's compensation in place. Fire safety and first warden trained, following Dubai Civil Defence protocols.
Paints We Use
Jotun, National and the other premium brands specified across Dubai villas, hotels and commercial projects.

Painting Dubai: FAQs
How much does painting cost in Dubai?
A one-bedroom apartment starts at AED 800 + VAT and usually lands between there and AED 1,200. Villas and exteriors are quoted after a visit. Wall condition affects the price more than floor area does, because surfaces needing skim coating and crack repair take considerably longer.
How much does it cost to paint a whole villa?
It depends on size, how many rooms you want done, the ceiling heights and whether the exterior is included. We visit, assess and quote, usually within 24 to 48 hours. There is no charge for the visit.
How long does an apartment take?
A one-bedroom is normally two to three days including preparation and drying time between coats. Larger apartments run longer. Villas are phased so you can keep living in the property while we work.
What paints do you use?
Jotun and other premium brands specified for Dubai’s UV, heat and humidity. The brand and the specific product are named in your quote rather than described as premium paint and left at that.
Do you offer colour consultation?
Yes, free with your quote. We also apply samples on your wall before you commit, because Dubai light changes how a shade reads and a colour chip in a showroom is not a reliable guide.
How do you protect my property while working?
Furniture covered and moved to the centre of the room, floors sheeted, skirtings, frames and fittings masked. Everything is cleared away and the space cleaned before handover. Our work is covered by third-party liability insurance.
How long should a paint job last in Dubai?
In our experience interiors hold up for around four to six years and exteriors three to five, depending on sun exposure and how well the surface was prepared. South and west-facing exterior walls always go first.
Do you charge for the quote?
No. The visit and the quote are free and there is no obligation.
Can you paint just one room or one wall?
Yes. Single rooms, feature walls and touch-ups are all normal jobs. We can match your existing colour if you only want part of the property done.
Do you do wallpaper and texture finishes?
Both. Wallpaper installation and removal, plus Venetian plaster, stucco, sand texture and Italian finish. We bring sample boards for decorative work before starting.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes, 90 days on workmanship. If the paintwork fails in that time because of how it was applied, we come back and put it right.
Planning to Repaint?
The visit, the colour consultation and the quote are free. One fixed figure covering preparation, materials and labour.
