Introduction
One of the best and quickest ways to renew your place in Dubai is to paint your apartment. Whether you are entering a new house, renting out your home, or just making a change of mind, a new paint will do wonders. The biggest question that comes to mind for most people is: how much does apartment painting cost in Dubai?
The simplistic answer is that the average cost of apartment painting in Dubai typically begins at AED 400 to AED 600 to paint a studio, AED 800 to AED 1200 to paint a 1-bedroom, AED 1200 to AED 2500 to paint a 2-bedroom, and AED 2000 to AED 5000 or more to paint a larger apartment. The precise cost is based on the size of your apartment, paint quality, state of the walls, and the finish desired.
These are rough prices that you would encounter in the Dubai home service market. At Al Meraj Home Solution, we will never undertake any project without having clear pricing. There is nothing to be surprised by or nothing to hide. This is what the majority of people desire from a home improvement service in Dubai: quality, reliability, and transparency.
What are the Things that influence the cost of Apartment painting in Dubai?
Apartment Size and Layout
The larger the apartment, the more expensive it will be. Compared to a three-bedroom individual, a studio consumes a lot less time and paint. Ceiling height also matters. High ceilings are also a feature of the Dubai apartments, hence more labor time and, in some cases, special equipment or ladders.
Condition and Preparation of Wall
Not all walls are the same. When your walls in your apartment are smooth and clean without cracks or peeling paint, it is cheap to do the job. In case there are dents on the walls, holes, or moisture marks, then there might be a need to repair and do priming. Prep work is significant in that it will influence the end finish and the duration the paint will take.
Type and Quality of Paint
Budget paints are cheaper compared to quality paints offered by brands such as Jotun and Dulux, which are more expensive but have more coverage, a clean finish, and are long-lasting. Washable paint, matte finishes, satin, eggshell, and low-VOC paint are available to choose from to increase indoor air quality.
Surface Finishes and Furniture
In case your apartment is fully equipped, the team will have to cover furniture and floors to prevent the droplets of paint. This is more time and care-consuming, and this may have a slight impact on cost. When the place is vacant, the process becomes quicker and easier.
Extra Areas
Ceiling, doors, frame, bathroom, balcony, and kitchen painting are normally quoted separately. Most clients in Dubai also demand full apartment painting to include ceilings to get a totally new appearance.

An efficient painting company in Dubai must provide:
- Free site inspection and visit.
- Written quotation
- Paints such as Jotun or Dulux are branded.
- Professional painters and pre-treatment of the surface.
- Furniture and floor cover.
- On time completion
- Clean up after the job
Warranty for workmanship
These are the values that we have based our work on at Al Meraj Home Solution. The Dubai customers are in need of quick service, easy communication, and hygienic outcomes. This is the way of life and the expectation of this city.
How to Get the Best Value
Request a Detailed Quote
Ensure that the quotation contains the number of coats, the brand of paint they are using, the preparation work, and the ceiling and door work, or which not to include. Transparency is an early warning that saves challenges in the future.
Ask for Paint Options
A mid-range paint can provide the best tradeoff between price and wearability. A quality business will lead you to your decisions and not foist the costliest one on you.
Understand the Timeline
Based on the preparation work, a studio typically takes one day, a 1-bedroom takes 1 to 2 days, and a large apartment takes 2 to 4 days. A project team will have a constant timeline to commence.
