Apartment and Villa Painting in Al Barsha: Choosing Paint and Preparing Walls - Al Asfour Al Zahabi - 0588837818
A good paint job starts before you open the tin: fixing cracks and damp, choosing the right paint for bathrooms and kitchens, and protecting your furniture. A practical guide to painting your apartment or villa in Al Barsha.
When Do You Need to Repaint?
- When moving into a new apartment or before handing back a rented one.
- When stains, cracks or peeling appear on the walls.
- After a leak repair or maintenance work that left marks on the wall.
- When the colour fades or rooms start to smell because of damp and smoke.
Preparation Matters More Than the Paint Itself
Most paint problems, such as bubbling, peeling and stains bleeding through again, come down to poor wall preparation:
- Cracks: opened up, filled with a suitable filler, then sanded flush with the wall.
- Damp patches: the source of the moisture must be fixed first, otherwise the patch will come back and the new paint will blister.
- Dark spots in bathrooms: cleaned and treated before painting.
- New or repaired surfaces: need a coat of primer so the paint adheres properly and the colour goes on evenly.
Choosing the Right Paint for Each Room
- Living rooms and bedrooms: matt or semi-gloss paint that hides wall imperfections.
- Kitchens and bathrooms: moisture-resistant, washable paint.
- Kids' rooms and hallways: wipeable paint, since these walls get touched and scuffed a lot.
- Occupied homes: low-odour paints, with good ventilation during and after the work.
Colours for Dubai's Climate
Light colours reflect light and make spaces feel bigger and brighter, which suits most apartments. Dark colours work best on a single feature wall in the living room or bedroom rather than the whole room.
If You're Renting
Check your tenancy contract or ask your landlord before changing colours, as some contracts require the walls to be returned to their original colour when you move out.
How We Do the Job
We cover the floors, protect the furniture and detach switch plates from the wall where needed, then prepare the walls and fix any cracks, apply primer and two or more coats of paint depending on the colour and condition, and hand the place back clean. We cover Al Barsha 1 and Al Barsha 3, The Hills, Al Sufouh and Umm Suqeim.
