What is included
Interior and exterior painting by our own painters, with surfaces properly prepared, furniture fully protected and wet film thickness checked on every coat. A good paint finish is mostly preparation. Abu Dhabi walls move with heat, hairline cracks open at ceiling joints, and coastal air and irrigation mark exterior walls within a few seasons. We repair and prime before we paint, apply the system named in your quotation and leave the home clean enough to move straight back into.
- Grease washed off with a sugar soap solution and rinsed clean
- Worktops, appliances and cabinet fronts covered and taped
- Yellowed patches sealed with a stain blocking primer
- Scrubbable mid sheen finish applied in two coats
How we carry out kitchen painting
Cooking leaves an invisible film of oil on the ceiling and the top of every wall, thickest above the hob. It is washed off with a sugar soap or degreasing solution, working upwards to avoid runs, then rinsed and left to dry. Worktops, the hob, the fridge and the cabinet fronts are sheeted and taped. Nicotine coloured patches and old leak marks are sealed with a stain blocker. The finish is a scrubbable acrylic in soft sheen or mid sheen, cut in tight to the cabinets and tiles and rolled in two coats.
Skip the wash and the new paint fisheyes, crawls back from greasy patches or peels in sheets a few months later. Closed kitchens in Abu Dhabi apartments are small and hot, with an extractor that recirculates instead of venting outside, so the film builds quickly. Humidity from boiling and from an open balcony door in summer adds condensation above the cooker. On the site visit we check the ceiling above the hob, the wall behind the fridge, the sealant line at the worktop and any stain from the flat above.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey, colour and written scope. We measure, test the existing coating and agree colours, sheen and the number of coats. The written quotation names the paint system and the scope.
- Protection. Furniture is moved and wrapped, floors are covered edge to edge, and switches, handles and light fittings are masked or removed.
- Surface preparation. Walls are washed, flaking paint is scraped back, cracks are opened and filled, and everything is sanded flat. Damp or salt affected areas are treated before any paint goes on.
- Primer and finish coats. A sealer or primer suited to the substrate is followed by two finish coats. Wet film thickness is checked on every coat.
- Snagging and handover. We inspect in daylight with you, touch up, clean down and hand over a paint schedule listing brand, colour codes and batch numbers for future touch ups.

Kitchen Painting in Al Bateen: what we plan for
Al Bateen runs along the western shore of Abu Dhabi island, south of the Corniche, and is one of the city's oldest prime addresses. Large private villas fill the inland streets. The waterfront holds Al Bateen Park with its villas, townhouses and low rise Plaza apartments, the Marasy and Bloom Marina buildings around the marina, hotel residences, and the separate villa island of Nareel.
Sea air comes off the marina and the open water to the west, so glass, railings and outdoor AC units collect a salt film within days. Mature gardens drop leaves and pollen into pools and gutters, and irrigation on the older plots leaves white mineral rings on boundary walls and paving. Many inland villas date from earlier decades, so hairline cracks at window corners, blistering where sprinklers hit the base of walls and rusted gates are common. Loose paint is scraped back, cracks are raked out and filled, and a sealing primer goes on before the topcoats. Exterior colours stay within what the community allows.
Al Bateen Park, Nareel Island and the marina buildings have gate security, so the resident registers our team in advance. Apartments need a work permit and a service lift booking. Exterior work may need master community approval, identified at the site visit; we prepare the paperwork.

Questions about kitchen painting in Al Bateen
What does kitchen painting include?
Kitchen walls and ceilings are degreased first, because paint will not hold on cooking film, then sealed and finished in a scrubbable water based paint that takes regular wiping. The work includes grease washed off with a sugar soap solution and rinsed clean; worktops, appliances and cabinet fronts covered and taped; yellowed patches sealed with a stain blocking primer.
Do the cabinets and appliances need to come out?
No, they stay in place. Freestanding fridges and cookers are pulled forward where the hoses allow, so the wall behind can be reached, and everything fixed is covered and masked. Painting the cabinet doors themselves is a separate spray job with its own preparation.
What finish stands up to cooking splashes?
A scrubbable acrylic with a slight sheen is the practical choice, since matt holds grease and marks when wiped. Behind a hob with no splashback we suggest a tile, glass or steel panel instead, as no wall paint tolerates direct heat and hot oil for long.
How much does kitchen painting cost in Al Bateen?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: wall and ceiling area and ceiling height; condition of the surface and how much repair is needed. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides kitchen painting in Al Bateen?
The MELLS provides kitchen painting in Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 55 444 0084.
How long does kitchen painting take?
Usually one to three days, confirmed with the quotation.
Do we need to move out while you paint?
No. We work room by room with low odour water based paints, and bedrooms are usable again the same night.
How many coats do you apply?
A primer or sealer where the surface needs it, then two finish coats. Strong colour changes may need a third coat, which is stated in the quotation.
Which paint brands do you use?
We apply the paint system named in your quotation. Most clients choose premium washable emulsions from the major brands stocked in Abu Dhabi, and we are happy to work with paints specified by your designer.
How do your crews get access to Al Bateen?
Al Bateen Park, Nareel Island and the marina buildings have gate security, so the resident registers our team in advance. Apartments need a work permit and a service lift booking. Exterior work may need master community approval, identified at the site visit; we prepare the paperwork.
Do you work on Nareel Island?
Yes, by appointment. The resident registers our team with island security in advance, and we send staff names and the vehicle plate for the pass before the visit.
How do I choose a company for kitchen painting in Al Bateen?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (wet film thickness checked on every coat and an adhesion test at handover) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
How are visits to Al Bateen arranged?
