Kitchen unit spraying has become one of the most popular home improvement services in the UK — and it’s easy to see why. For a fraction of the cost of a new kitchen, you can transform tired, chipped or outdated units with a professional spray finish in any colour you choose. Here’s everything you need to know.
What Is Kitchen Unit Spraying?
Kitchen unit spraying (also called kitchen cabinet respraying or kitchen painting) is the process of applying a professional spray finish to your existing kitchen doors, drawer fronts and carcasses. The result is a smooth, hard-wearing painted surface that looks like a brand-new factory finish.
How Much Does Kitchen Unit Spraying Cost?
Kitchen unit spraying typically costs between a competitive priceand a competitive pricefor a full kitchen, depending on the number of units, the complexity of the job and the type of finish required. Compare this to the cost of a new kitchen — typically a competitive pricea competitive priceincluding fitting — and the saving is substantial.
What Types of Units Can Be Sprayed?
- Painted MDF kitchen doors
- Solid wood doors
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Laminate kitchen doors
- Kitchen islands and peninsulas
- Larder units and tall units
- Plinths, cornices and pelmets
Can I Choose Any Colour?
Yes. Professional kitchen spraying services can match virtually any colour — RAL colours, Farrow & Ball shades, Dulux or Little Greene colours, or even a custom colour you’ve chosen. If you can name it or supply a sample, a specialist can match it. Popular choices include shaker-style units in Farrow & Ball Mole’s Breath, deep navy blues, forest greens, and classic white or cream.
How Long Does Kitchen Spraying Take?
A full kitchen respray typically takes 1–3 days depending on the size of the kitchen and the number of coats required. Some specialists remove the doors and spray them in a controlled environment; others spray in-situ. Either way, the kitchen is usually back in use within a few days of work starting.
How Long Does the Finish Last?
A professionally sprayed kitchen finish should last 5–10 years or more with normal use, depending on the type of paint used. Water-based paints have improved enormously in durability, and specialist kitchen paints are formulated to resist grease, moisture and daily wear.
