Fresh paint changes how a home feels. Dubai sun, humidity and dust wear walls down faster than most people expect. HiTech FM provides painting services in Dubai from our office in Al Barsha South. This page covers what painting includes, how the work starts, market prices and the areas near us. Message us on WhatsApp with photos of your walls and the size of the property.

What painting services cover
Painting is more than putting colour on a wall. Good results depend on preparation. Cracks are filled, rough spots are sanded and a primer coat is applied where needed. Then come the finish coats. Skipping the preparation is the usual reason paint peels or looks patchy soon after.
We handle interior and exterior painting for apartments, villas and offices. Walls and ceilings are the most common jobs. We also handle textured finishes and epoxy floor coating. Send us your job on WhatsApp and we will confirm if we can help.
Check why the paint failed before you repaint. Peeling paint, bubbles and stains often come from damp. Fresh paint on a damp wall will fail again. In that case, start with our waterproofing services. A stain under a bathroom may come from a pipe, which is covered under plumbing services in Dubai. For a small touch-up or a few marks, handyman services may be enough.
Common painting jobs in Dubai
- Apartment repaint. Studios, one-bedroom units and larger flats, often before a move-in or move-out.
- Villa interior. Walls and ceilings across several rooms and floors.
- Villa exterior. Outer walls, boundary walls and gates that face sun and dust.
- Feature wall. One accent wall in a new colour.
- Ceiling painting. Stained or yellowed ceilings after a leak has been fixed.
- Wall repair before painting. Cracks, holes and uneven surfaces.
- Bathroom and kitchen walls. These rooms see steam and splashes, so the paint type matters.
- Office and shop painting. Work planned around business hours.

These are published market figures, not a HiTech FM quote. We give you a clear estimate before any work starts.
Published figures exclude 5% VAT. Other Dubai guides show higher ranges for the same size, so quotes can differ a lot. Wall repairs, colour changes, extra coats and premium washable paint cost more. A furnished home also takes more time to prepare.

What affects a painting quote in Dubai
The same flat can get very different quotes. Check what each quote includes. Some include paint, putty and primer. Others charge for them separately.
Wall condition matters most. Smooth walls need less preparation than cracked ones. A big colour change, such as dark to white, often needs extra coats. Ceilings, high walls and furniture moving add time. For a villa exterior, scaffolding or access equipment can add to the price.
Ask what paint will be used and how many coats. Ask if the quote includes VAT. Compare the scope and not just the final number. A very low price can mean thin preparation or fewer coats.
Why paint wears out fast in Dubai
Strong sun fades colours and dries out exterior paint. Villa walls facing the sun often chalk and crack first. Dust and sand settle on walls and make them look dull. Humidity near the coast also affects bathrooms, kitchens and balconies.
Air conditioning adds another factor. Cold surfaces meet warm, humid air, and condensation can form. Over time, this leads to stains and mould spots on walls and ceilings. Anti-fungal or washable paints are often used in these rooms. Ask us which option suits your wall.
Rented homes need thought too. Check your tenancy contract before repainting. Tower and community rules may also apply to exterior work and colour changes. Ask your management office first.

Painting FAQs for Dubai
How much does painting cost in Dubai?
Published figures show about AED 550 to AED 900 for a one-bedroom apartment and AED 3,000 to AED 8,000 for a villa interior. These are not a HiTech FM quote. We give you a clear estimate before any work starts.
How long does it take to paint an apartment?
It depends on the size, the wall condition and the number of coats. A small flat takes less time than a villa. Drying time between coats also counts. The painter can give the expected time after looking at the walls.
Is paint included in the quote?
That depends on the quote, so ask. Some include paint, putty and primer in one price. Others list them separately. We state what the estimate covers before work starts, so you can compare it with other offers.
Do I need to move out while the walls are painted?
Usually not for a few rooms. Furniture usually needs to be moved and covered. Good ventilation helps the smell clear. Some people prefer to stay elsewhere for a night or two. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
What is the best time of year to paint in Dubai?
Interior painting can be done all year. Exterior work is easier in cooler months, because paint dries and cures better away from peak heat. Booking early can also help, since many people repaint before the summer and after it.
Can I paint over damp or peeling walls?
No. Paint over damp walls peels again. The source of the water needs fixing first, and the wall needs to dry. Send us photos and we will tell you if the job is waterproofing, plumbing or painting.
Who pays for repainting when a tenant moves out?
It depends on your tenancy contract and the condition of the walls. Check the contract and ask your landlord. If repainting is needed, message us your unit size and we will give a clear estimate.
Which paint finish suits bathrooms and kitchens?
These rooms see steam and splashes. Washable and anti-fungal paints are common choices. Standard emulsion suits bedrooms and living rooms. Tell us about the room and any mould, and we will explain the options before you decide.
Do you offer textured finishes and epoxy floors?
Yes, texture painting and epoxy floor coating are part of our painting services. Send us photos of the area, its size and the finish you want. We will confirm what is possible and give a clear estimate.
