Walls We Paint           

The job can be as small as one wall or as large as every room in the property:

• Single walls: A new colour behind the sofa or bed, or one damaged wall brought back to match the room.
• Full rooms: Walls repainted together so the colour and sheen are even all the way round.
• Gypsum partition walls: New or repaired partitions sealed and painted after our gypsum team finishes the joints.
• Hallways and stairwells: The walls that collect the most scuffs and handprints.
• Ceilings: Painted at the same time when a colour change or stain would otherwise make the ceiling look dull against fresh walls.
• Feature colours: Accent walls in solid colours; for textures and special finishes see decorative painting.

Common Wall Problems and How We Fix Them           

Most paint failures start with a problem that was painted over instead of fixed. These are the issues we see most often in Dubai homes:    

Villa Surfaces That Need Different Treatment 

Matching the Primer and Paint to the Wall  

Different wall surfaces need a different start. Using one product for everything is why some fresh walls look patchy within weeks:

• New gypsum board: Absorbs paint unevenly, so it needs a sealer coat first.
• Plastered block walls: Need full curing and a suitable primer before topcoats.
• Previously glossy or oil-painted walls: Need sanding and an adhesion primer, or the new coat will peel.
• Stained or smoke-marked walls: Need a stain-blocking primer, since normal paint lets marks show through.
• Dark walls going light: Need a tinted undercoat to avoid extra topcoats.

Topcoats are low-VOC interior paints from brands such as Jotun, Dulux, Nippon and Sigma.

Many tenancy contracts in Dubai expect walls to be handed back in their original condition, often plain white. If you painted feature walls or left marks from furniture and fixings, repainting before the final inspection can help avoid deductions from your deposit.

• Check your contract and move-in report for the original colour and condition.
• Allow extra coats when covering dark or bright colours with white.
• Book the painting before the inspection date, with time for the walls to dry and any touch-ups.
• Fill fixings at the same visit, so holes from TV mounts and shelves are not missed.

What a Well-Painted Wall Should Look Like

At handover, we check every wall with you against these points. You can use the same list to judge any painter's work:

• Straight, clean lines where the wall meets the ceiling, skirting and door frames
• No roller marks or patchy areas when you look along the wall with light from the side
• Filled holes and cracks that cannot be seen or felt
• An even sheen across the whole wall, with no shiny or dull patches
• Switches, sockets, floors and furniture free of paint splashes
