Apartment painting — key facts
  • Studio: AED 600–1,200 · 2-bed: AED 1,200–3,000
  • Low-odour paint so you can stay in the flat
  • Two coats, prep & clean-up included

Apartment painting that fits tenant life

Most Dubai apartments are rented, which means two things matter most: speed and a deposit-safe finish. We schedule around you, protect floors and furniture, and use washable, low-VOC paints so the flat is liveable the same day. If you’re painting before handover, we restore walls to their original condition so your security deposit is protected.

What’s included

  • Prep: filling nail holes and cracks, sanding, spot-priming
  • Protection: furniture moved and covered, floors masked
  • Two coats of your chosen premium paint
  • Clean handover — no mess left behind

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to paint an apartment in Dubai?
Apartment painting in Dubai typically costs AED 600–1,200 for a studio, AED 1,200–3,000 for a 2-bedroom, and AED 1,800–4,200 for a 3-bedroom, including paint and labour for two coats. Wall condition and paint brand affect the final quote.
Can you paint an apartment while I’m still living in it?
Yes. We work room by room with dust sheeting and low-odour paints so you can stay in the apartment. Most occupied 1–2 bed flats are finished in 2–3 days with minimal disruption.
Do I need landlord permission to paint my rented apartment?
For interior repainting in the same colour, usually a quick informed OK is enough, but for any colour change you should get written landlord permission and expect to return the original colour at move-out. See our tenant painting rights guide.
How long does it take to paint a 1-bedroom apartment?
A 1-bedroom apartment usually takes 1–2 days for two coats including prep. An empty flat is faster; heavy crack repair or colour changes can add time.
