Industrial Area 13, Sharjah & Al Saqr Business Tower, Dubai, UAE

Restaurant painting in Dubai must use food-safe, low-VOC washable coatings because surfaces in dining and kitchen zones face grease, steam, and daily disinfectant scrubbing that standard paints cannot withstand. As a restaurant painting company in Dubai, Make My Restaurant delivers end-to-end commercial painting across all seven emirates, specifying anti-microbial emulsions and heat-resistant kitchen coatings that meet hygiene standards for food-service environments. Our crews work after-hours or during off-peak shifts to protect your trading hours, completing most projects with zero daytime disruption. From a single-outlet refresh in Dubai to a multi-branch rollout across Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, we manage surface prep, priming, application, and inspection under one contract.

Good to Know

Answers to the questions restaurant owners ask us most.

1: What makes a paint food-safe for a restaurant kitchen?
Make My Restaurant

Food-safe paints are low- or zero-VOC, non-toxic once cured, and scrubbable with commercial disinfectants without degrading. In kitchens we additionally specify heat-resistant and grease-resistant formulations for splash zones near cooking equipment, and anti-microbial coatings containing silver-ion additives that inhibit bacterial growth between cleaning cycles.

2: Will painting disrupt our restaurant service?
Make My Restaurant

No. Make My Restaurant schedules all work after your closing time or during weekly off-days. For larger projects we phase the work room-by-room so the kitchen or dining room is never fully closed at once. Most single-outlet refreshes across Dubai are completed within two to three overnight sessions without any daytime trading loss.

3: How long do restaurant-grade anti-microbial paints last?
Make My Restaurant

Quality anti-microbial emulsions in dining areas typically last five to seven years before a refresh is needed. Kitchen zones subject to steam and grease splatter may need a topcoat refresh every three to four years. We recommend an annual visual inspection and provide a maintenance schedule with every completed project across the UAE.

4: Do you handle exterior painting as well as interior?
Make My Restaurant

Yes. We paint facades, entrance canopies, outdoor seating areas, and signage surrounds using weather-resistant, UV-stable coatings suited to the UAE climate. Exterior and interior scopes can be bundled under a single contract with one site supervisor, which simplifies coordination and reduces overall project downtime for your restaurant.

5: How much does professional restaurant painting cost in Dubai?
Make My Restaurant

Commercial restaurant painting in Dubai typically starts from AED 25 per sqm for standard anti-microbial emulsion applied by a specialist crew, with premium low-VOC or silver-ion formulations adding 10-30% to material costs. Total project cost depends on surface area, number of coats, prep work required, and whether after-hours scheduling is needed. Make My Restaurant provides fixed-price quotes after a site survey.

6: What is the VOC limit for paint used inside a restaurant in the UAE?
Make My Restaurant

The UAE follows international VOC standards -- low-VOC flat paints must contain fewer than 50 grams of VOC per litre, and non-flat finishes fewer than 150 grams per litre. For occupied food-service spaces, Make My Restaurant specifies zero-VOC or ultra-low-VOC systems such as Caparol's indoor air quality range, which are non-toxic once cured and safe for use in kitchens and dining areas without extended airing-out periods.

7: Which paint brands do you use for UAE restaurant projects?
Make My Restaurant

Make My Restaurant specifies Caparol, Jotun, and equivalent UAE-available anti-fungal washable systems. Caparol's CapaGerm and Jotun's Majestic Clean ranges both carry anti-microbial certification and are scrubbable with commercial disinfectants. Brand selection is confirmed at the site survey stage based on the surface condition, ventilation level, and the coating system best suited to each zone of your restaurant.

8: Is a separate heat-resistant paint needed near cooking equipment?
Make My Restaurant

Yes. Surfaces within 500 mm of cooking equipment -- behind ranges, fryers, and tandoors -- require heat-resistant coatings rated to at least 120 degrees C, while duct surrounds may need coatings rated to 200 degrees C or higher. Standard anti-microbial emulsions are not suitable for these zones. Make My Restaurant specifies and applies the correct heat-resistant system alongside the wider kitchen paint scope.

9: Do you handle surface preparation and crack repairs, or just painting?
Make My Restaurant

Full surface preparation is included in every Make My Restaurant painting contract. This covers cleaning, degreasing, filling cracks and holes, sanding, and applying the correct primer before any topcoat. Skipping prep is the most common reason restaurant paint fails early in the UAE's humid climate. We also install dust-containment screens to protect open kitchens and dining furniture during sanding.

10: Can you match our existing brand colours exactly for a multi-branch rollout across the UAE?
Make My Restaurant

Yes. We colour-match to RAL, NCS, Pantone, or your existing brand specification using computerised tinting systems available at our approved UAE supplier branches. For multi-location rollouts across Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and the northern emirates, we log the exact mix formula and batch reference so every branch receives an identical finish under a single project manager.

11: How should restaurant walls be maintained between professional repaints in the UAE?
Make My Restaurant

Anti-microbial washable emulsions can be cleaned with a damp cloth and commercial-grade food-safe disinfectant without damaging the finish. Avoid abrasive scourers on painted walls and report any moisture ingress or bubbling promptly, as it signals a substrate problem rather than paint failure. Make My Restaurant provides a written maintenance schedule at handover recommending cleaning frequency and the earliest refresh date for each zone.

12: Do you also paint ceilings and kitchen canopy surrounds, or just walls?
Make My Restaurant

Yes -- we treat the full hygiene envelope: walls, ceilings, columns, soffits, and canopy surrounds as a single scope. Painting walls but leaving an uncoated or flaking ceiling above a food-prep area is a DM hygiene risk. Anti-microbial coatings are applied to ceilings using low-spatter roller systems and HEPA-filtered enclosures to prevent contamination of kitchen surfaces below.
