Apartment Renovation in Dubai Marina
Searching for apartment renovation in Dubai Marina? If your kitchen feels closed off, your bathroom still has the original fittings from handover, or your apartment simply doesn’t match the view outside your window anymore, you’re not alone — a large share of Marina’s towers were finished more than a decade ago, and their interiors are due an update.
We handle apartment renovation, kitchen renovation, bathroom renovation, and full interior fit-out across Dubai Marina — from a single-room refresh to a complete, turnkey transformation. One team manages the design, the building approvals, and the construction, so you’re not stuck coordinating between five different contractors and your building’s management office.
What it is: A complete apartment renovation service covering design, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, MEP (electrical/plumbing/AC), custom joinery, and all required building approvals.
Who it’s for: Owner-occupiers upgrading their home, landlords renovating to raise rental income, and sellers preparing a unit for the market — across studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and penthouse apartments in Dubai Marina.
What’s included: Design and 3D planning, full construction, NOC/DEWA/Dubai Municipality approvals, and a written, fixed-price quote before work begins.
Where it’s available: Dubai Marina towers, with named project experience in Marina Gate, Princess Tower, Cayan Tower, Emirates Crown, Sulafa Tower, Botanica Tower, Al Sahab, Horizon Tower, Mariners Wharf, JLT and JBR — and we cover buildings beyond this list too.
How to book: Call, WhatsApp, or submit the quote form for a free site visit. We assess your apartment, confirm scope, and provide a fixed-price written quote — no cost, no obligation.
Services Included in Your Apartment Renovation
Every project is scoped around what your apartment actually needs — not a one-size-fits-all package. Here’s what’s covered:
| Service | What’s Included |
| Full Apartment Renovation | Complete transformation: layout, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, ceilings, and finishes, managed under one contract |
| Kitchen Renovation | New cabinetry, worktops, appliances integration, and open-plan conversion where the layout allows |
| Bathroom Renovation | Walk-in showers, floating vanities, waterproofing, modern fittings and lighting |
| Flooring & False Ceilings | Premium flooring, cove lighting, gypsum ceiling systems |
| MEP & AC Upgrades | Electrical rewiring, plumbing, and VRF air-conditioning conversion where beneficial |
| Custom Joinery | Built-in wardrobes and storage, fabricated to your apartment’s exact dimensions |
| NOC & Government Approvals | Building management NOC, DEWA, and Dubai Municipality sign-off — fully managed on your behalf |
What’s not included by default: structural changes that affect the building’s load-bearing elements (these require separate structural engineering approval, priced and scoped individually), and imported specialty materials with long lead times (these are quoted once you’ve chosen them, since lead time and cost vary by supplier).
Apartment types we renovate: studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, and penthouse units — the process is the same regardless of size; only the scope and cost band change.
Customer types we work with: owner-occupiers renovating their own home, landlords renovating to increase rental value, and sellers preparing a unit for resale.
Apartment Renovation Cost in Dubai Marina
Renovation cost is the first question almost every Marina apartment owner asks — and it’s a fair one, because public price ranges you’ll find online for “Dubai apartment renovation” vary enormously depending on what’s actually included. Here’s a straightforward breakdown based on apartment size:
| Apartment Size | Estimated Full Renovation Cost |
| Studio Apartment | AED 60,000 – AED 130,000 |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | AED 90,000 – AED 220,000 |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | AED 160,000 – AED 380,000 |
| Penthouse | AED 350,000 – AED 800,000+ |
Standalone kitchen or bathroom renovation typically starts from AED 25,000, depending on the size of the space and the finishes you choose.
What actually moves your price within these ranges
- Finish tier — standard finishes sit toward the lower end of each range; imported stone, custom joinery, and designer fittings push it toward the top.
- Scope — a cosmetic refresh (paint, flooring, lighting) costs far less than a full renovation involving new kitchens, bathrooms, and layout changes.
- Structural work — moving walls or relocating plumbing/electrical points adds engineering, approval, and labor cost beyond a like-for-like replacement.
- Apartment condition — an apartment untouched since handover generally needs more base work than one with a partial prior renovation.
- Material lead times — imported tiles, fittings, or custom cabinetry can extend both cost and timeline if not planned early.
These ranges are indicative. Your exact price is confirmed after a free site visit, and it’s fixed in writing before construction starts — so the number you agree to is the number you pay, not a starting estimate that grows once work is underway.
Why Homeowners in Dubai Marina Choose Us
We won’t tell you we’re “the best” — that’s not something a page can prove to you. Here’s what we can actually show you instead:
Named tower experience, not a generic city-wide claim. We’ve completed renovation projects in Marina Gate, Princess Tower, Cayan Tower, Emirates Crown, Sulafa Tower, Botanica Tower, Al Sahab, Horizon Tower, and Mariners Wharf. That means we already understand how each building’s management office handles NOC submissions, access hours, and service-lift booking — so your project isn’t the first time we’ve navigated your building’s specific rules. Benefit: fewer delays caused by unfamiliar building processes.
Fixed price, in writing, before work starts. You receive a full, itemized quote based on your apartment’s actual scope — not a verbal estimate that changes once demolition begins. Benefit: you can budget with confidence and won’t face surprise costs mid-project.
Approvals handled for you. Every Dubai Marina renovation needs a building management NOC, plus DEWA and Dubai Municipality sign-off. We prepare and submit all three so you don’t have to become an expert in building bureaucracy. Benefit: less time spent chasing paperwork, faster project start.
One point of contact from design to handover. Design, construction, and final handover are managed by a single project team — not separate contractors you have to coordinate between yourself. Benefit: clearer communication and accountability throughout the project.
Free, no-obligation site visit. Before you commit to anything, we visit your apartment, assess the scope, and talk through your goals in person. Benefit: you get a real, apartment-specific quote instead of a generic online estimate.
How the Process Works
Getting your Dubai Marina apartment renovated follows six clear steps:
- Contact us. Call, WhatsApp, or submit the quote form below.
- Free site visit. We visit your apartment, assess the scope, and discuss your goals — no cost, no obligation.
- Fixed-price quote. You receive a full, written, itemized quote. Nothing starts until you approve it.
- Approvals. We prepare and submit your building management NOC, plus DEWA and Dubai Municipality approvals.
- Construction. Demolition, MEP works, flooring, kitchen and bathroom installation, and finishing — carried out on a scheduled programme.
- Handover. A final walkthrough, snagging resolution, and your workmanship warranty.
Typical timeline: a full renovation takes roughly 8–14 weeks on-site, plus 2–4 weeks for approvals to be granted before work can begin. A single kitchen or bathroom renovation is faster — typically 3–5 weeks, plus approval time.
Towers & Areas We Cover in Dubai Marina
We’ve completed renovation projects in Marina Gate, Princess Tower, Cayan Tower, Emirates Crown, Sulafa Tower, Botanica Tower, Al Sahab, Horizon Tower, Mariners Wharf, and JBR.
If your building isn’t on this list, that doesn’t mean we don’t cover it — it just means we haven’t listed every tower individually. Dubai Marina is a large community, and we work across the full area, including buildings along Marina Walk and the wider Marina Promenade. The fastest way to confirm coverage for your specific building is to contact us directly — we’ll tell you plainly whether we’ve worked in it before and what that means for your project timeline.
Full Renovation vs. Partial Renovation
Not every apartment needs a complete overhaul. Here’s how to think about which one fits your situation:
| Comparison | Full Renovation | Partial Renovation |
| Best for | Apartments untouched since handover, or a complete style change | A single outdated kitchen or bathroom |
| Estimated cost | AED 60,000 – AED 800,000+ | Starting from AED 25,000 |
| Typical timeline | Approximately 8–14 weeks, plus approvals | Typically 3–5 weeks, plus approvals |
| Living in the apartment | Moving out temporarily is generally recommended | Usually possible to remain, depending on scope |
Not sure which one fits your apartment? Tell us your goals and budget during the free site visit, and we’ll recommend the right scope for your situation — even if that means recommending the more affordable option.
Does Renovation Add Value in Dubai Marina?
Selling soon? A renovated apartment typically shows better and negotiates more strongly than a dated unit sitting next to renovated comparables in the same tower.
Renting it out? A renovated kitchen and bathroom support a stronger asking rent and better tenant retention over time.
Living there yourself? Then the case is simpler — your home should match the lifestyle Dubai Marina offers, not the finishes it had at handover.
Mistakes to Avoid When Renovating in Dubai Marina
- Starting work before the NOC is approved. Building management can halt unapproved work on-site — always secure the NOC first.
- Ordering imported materials without planning for delays. Some tiles and fittings take 4–8 weeks to arrive — order early if your design depends on them.
- Choosing the cheapest quote instead of the clearest one. A vague, low quote almost always costs more once hidden extras appear later.
- Skipping the warranty conversation. Always get your defects-liability period confirmed in writing before work begins.
Common Concerns, Answered
“Is this going to be expensive?” Costs range from AED 25,000 for a single kitchen or bathroom up to AED 800,000+ for a full penthouse renovation — most 1- and 2-bedroom full renovations fall between AED 90,000 and AED 380,000. You’ll get an exact, fixed number after a free site visit, so you’re never guessing.
“How quickly can this actually happen?” Plan for 2–4 weeks of approvals before construction starts, then 8–14 weeks on-site for a full renovation, or 3–5 weeks for a single-room job. We give you a realistic programme in your written quote, not an optimistic sales estimate.
“Is this company reliable?” We manage design, approvals, and construction under a single contract with a single point of contact, so accountability doesn’t get lost between subcontractors. [ADD: licence/registration number and/or real client reviews to reinforce this answer with independent proof.]
“Do you actually cover my building?” We’ve worked in Marina Gate, Princess Tower, Cayan Tower, Emirates Crown, Sulafa Tower, Botanica Tower, Al Sahab, Horizon Tower, Mariners Wharf, and JBR — and if your tower isn’t listed, contact us and we’ll confirm coverage directly.
“What size or scope do I actually need?” If only your kitchen or bathroom feels dated, a partial renovation (from AED 25,000, 3–5 weeks) is usually enough. If the whole apartment hasn’t been touched since handover, a full renovation is typically the better long-term value. We’ll advise honestly during your site visit.
“What affects the final price?” Finish tier, scope (cosmetic vs. structural), apartment condition, and material lead times are the main variables. Your written quote breaks these down so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
“How do I actually book this?” Call, WhatsApp, or fill in the quote form on this page. We’ll schedule your free site visit and confirm a time that works for you.
“What happens after I contact you?” We arrange a free site visit, assess your apartment, and follow up with a written, fixed-price quote — typically within a few days of the visit. There’s no obligation to proceed.

FAQ — Apartment Renovation in Dubai Marina
How much does apartment renovation cost in Dubai Marina? Costs typically range from AED 60,000–130,000 for a studio, AED 90,000–220,000 for a 1-bedroom, AED 160,000–380,000 for a 2-bedroom, and AED 350,000–800,000+ for a penthouse. Standalone kitchen or bathroom renovations start from AED 25,000. Your exact price depends on scope and finish level, confirmed in writing after a free site visit.
Do I need building management approval to renovate my apartment? Yes. Every apartment renovation in Dubai Marina requires an NOC (No Objection Certificate) from your building management, plus DEWA and Dubai Municipality sign-off. We prepare and submit all three on your behalf as part of the service.
How long does an apartment renovation take in Dubai Marina? A full renovation typically takes 8–14 weeks on-site, plus 2–4 weeks for approvals before work can begin. A single kitchen or bathroom renovation is faster, usually 3–5 weeks plus approval time.
Can I stay in my apartment during the renovation? Yes, for a single-room renovation you can usually remain in the apartment. For a full renovation, moving out temporarily is generally recommended for a faster, less disrupted result.
Which towers in Dubai Marina do you work in? We’ve completed projects in Marina Gate, Princess Tower, Cayan Tower, Emirates Crown, Sulafa Tower, Botanica Tower, Al Sahab, Horizon Tower, Mariners Wharf, and JBR. If your building isn’t listed, contact us — we cover the wider Marina community and will confirm directly.
Will my price change once work starts? No. Every quote is fixed in writing before construction begins, based on the scope we agree during your site visit. If you later add scope (for example, upgrading a finish), that’s priced separately and agreed before it’s actioned — the original quote itself doesn’t move.
Is it better to do a full renovation or just update my kitchen and bathroom? It depends on your apartment’s condition and your goals. If only the kitchen or bathroom feels dated, a partial renovation is usually sufficient and more cost-effective. If the whole apartment hasn’t been touched since handover, a full renovation typically delivers better long-term value. We’ll give you an honest recommendation, not an upsell, during your free site visit.
Is renovation worth it if I’m planning to sell or rent out my apartment? In most cases, yes. A renovated apartment tends to sell faster and negotiate better against dated comparables in the same tower, and a renovated kitchen and bathroom typically support a stronger achievable rent.
