Cosmetic Renovation of a One-Bedroom Apartment in Dubai
A cosmetic renovation of a one-bedroom apartment is the optimal solution for quick and budget-friendly home updates. It radically transforms the perception of space, refreshing the interior without major reconstruction. In Dubai, this service is especially relevant for landlords looking to increase the profitability of their apartments and for owners wanting to update a studio or 1-bedroom apartment before moving in. This is your chance to change color schemes, replace flooring and lighting, creating a modern and cozy living space in areas like Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Dubai Marina, or Business Bay.
Cost of Renovation in a 1-Bedroom Apartment in Dubai (2026)
The cost of a cosmetic renovation in Dubai is calculated individually. The average market price in 2026 starts from 600 AED per square meter (approximately £130/m²). Our principle is transparency. You receive a fixed estimate after a free visit from a cost estimator engineer. The basic cost typically includes work on demolishing old finishes, leveling walls and ceilings, replacing flooring (laminate, tiles), painting or wallpapering, installing new skirting boards, and mounting light fixtures.
What is Cosmetic Renovation
Cosmetic renovation is a set of works aimed at updating surfaces and replacing easily changeable interior elements. Unlike a major overhaul, it does not affect load-bearing structures and engineering systems (electrical wiring, plumbing) if they are in good condition. The main goal is to eliminate visible defects, update the design, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the apartment with minimal costs and in a short time. It is the perfect option to refresh an apartment after long-term rental or simply because you wanted a change.
What is Included in a Cosmetic Apartment Renovation and the Conditions for Carrying it Out
The basic list of services includes: demolition of old finishes (wallpaper, paint, flooring); leveling walls with putty and plaster; priming all surfaces; laying new flooring; finishing wall surfaces (painting, wallpaper, decorative plaster); installation of ceiling structures (paint, modern panels); installation of new sockets, switches, and light fixtures; replacement of skirting boards. We carry out work according to your schedule. Renovation is possible during a temporary move-out or at a convenient time for you with minimal discomfort.

What Affects the Duration and How to Properly Plan Move-in?
The duration of renovating a one-bedroom apartment of 40-50 m² usually takes 2-4 weeks. The timeline is influenced by: the scope of demolition, the complexity of surface leveling, chosen materials (e.g., plaster drying time), and seasonality. For proper move-in planning, we recommend allowing a small buffer of 3-5 days after the stated completion date. This accounts for possible unforeseen delays, such as material deliveries. The key factor for speed is the preliminary agreement of all design details and accurate material calculation.
What is an Estimate and Why is it Needed?
An estimate is a fundamental financial document that details the renovation budget. It specifies each task, its scope, material costs, and labor costs. The estimate protects both parties: you know exactly what you are paying for and won't face hidden charges, and we work according to a clear plan. Only based on a detailed estimate can timelines be accurately planned and costs controlled. We prepare the estimate free of charge after surveying the property.
