01302-490-277
What's Included in a Kitchen Spray Painting Job (and What Costs Extra)
- Removal of cabinet doors, drawer fronts and handles so they can be sprayed away from dust and cooking splashes
- Degreasing, sanding, filling minor dents or chips, and priming so paint bonds to the existing material rather than sitting on top of it
- Multiple thin coats applied with airless spray equipment, each left to dry before the next goes on, for a smooth finish without brush marks
- Colour matching to a wide range of shades, including ranges such as Farrow & Ball and Little Greene, in matte, satin or gloss
- Refitting doors, drawers and hardware once the paint has fully cured
- A written quotation covering the full scope and cost, agreed before any spraying begins
Not Included / Costed Separately
- A protective clear topcoat for extra scratch and stain resistance - typically £100-£300 on top of the base job
- New cabinet handles or knobs if you want to update the hardware as well as the colour - usually £50-£200 or more
- Painting the inside of cabinets as well as the outside - adds roughly 10-20% to the total
- Treating damp or mould in the cabinet carcasses - this has to be dealt with separately before spraying, or the paint won't adhere properly
- Doors that are swollen, delaminating or otherwise structurally damaged - these usually need replacing rather than spraying, which a site visit will pick up
How We Run a Kitchen Spray Painting Job From First Call to Finish
- Enquiry and free consultation -- Call to discuss your kitchen and the finish you're after; we book a no-obligation visit to assess the cabinets and provide a written quotation before anything is booked in.
- Masking and protection -- On the day, worktops, appliances and flooring are masked off and the work area is set up for dust-controlled spraying.
- Preparation -- Doors, drawer fronts and any fixed cabinetry are degreased, sanded, filled where needed and primed.
- Spraying -- Multiple thin coats are applied with airless spray equipment, with drying time built in between coats to build up an even, factory-style finish.
- Refit and check -- Once fully cured, doors, drawers and hardware are refitted and the finish is checked over before we hand the kitchen back to you.
- Clear-up -- Offcuts, masking materials and any replaced hardware are cleared under our own registered waste carrier licence.
Spray Painting Against Refacing and a Full Replacement
| Option | Typical cost | What you keep | Time involved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kitchen spray painting | £800-£2,500+, depending on kitchen size and finish | Existing carcasses, doors and worktops all stay in place | Usually a few days |
| Cabinet refacing | £3,000-£6,000 | Carcasses stay; doors and drawer fronts are replaced | Longer, as new fronts have to be fitted |
| Full kitchen replacement | £10,000+ | Nothing - new units, worktops and appliances throughout | Longest, often more than a week |
Why Homeowners Use Us Rather Than a General Painter and Decorator
Kitchen spraying is one of our three core specialisms, alongside bespoke cabinetry and stone worktops, rather than an add-on to general decorating work. We use airless spray equipment and can colour match to ranges such as Farrow & Ball and Little Greene, so the finish is chosen to suit your kitchen rather than picked from a limited stock list. We've been designing, supplying and fitting kitchens across Doncaster and South Yorkshire for over 20 years, and we're honest that some of the call-outs we get are to put right kitchens where an unqualified fitter or painter cut corners on preparation - it's a common cause of the chipping and peeling problems covered above.
Every consultation is free and no-obligation, with CAD visuals and a written quotation before any work starts, so you know the full cost upfront rather than getting a surprise invoice. Old doors and any job waste are cleared under our own registered waste carrier licence, and the work carries the same 5-year labour and installation guarantee and 2-year product guarantee we back all our kitchen work with. Spraying is priced well below a full replacement, as the comparison above shows, and finance options are available if you'd still rather spread even that lower cost over time.
Areas We Cover for Kitchen Spray Painting
We're based at Avondale Road in Rotherham and take on spray painting jobs across Doncaster and its surrounding suburbs, including Bessacarr, Balby, Wheatley, Wheatley Hills, Bentley, Armthorpe, Kirk Sandall, Sprotbrough, Warmsworth and Cantley, along with the market towns around the borough - Bawtry, Tickhill, Thorne, Askern, Conisbrough, Mexborough, Adwick le Street and Rossington. A good share of what we spray in the older ex-colliery villages such as Bentley, Armthorpe, Askern, Conisbrough and Mexborough is solid timber shaker-style cabinetry from kitchens fitted decades ago - exactly the kind of doors that respray well once they've been stripped back, filled and primed properly.
In the newer estates around Bessacarr and Cantley we see more laminate and vinyl-wrapped units from 2000s-era kitchens, which need a different degreasing and keying approach before paint will bond to the surface rather than peel back off it. We also travel further out for the right job, into Sheffield, Barnsley, Wakefield, Leeds, York, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Hull.
Common Questions About Kitchen Spray Painting Costs and the Process
How long does spraying a kitchen actually take?
Most kitchens are finished within a few days, though this depends on the number of doors and drawers, how much preparation the existing surfaces need, and drying time between coats. A larger kitchen, or one needing extra filling and sanding before the primer goes on, will take longer than a straightforward respray of a well-maintained kitchen.
Can every type of kitchen cabinet be spray painted?
Most timber, MDF and already-painted cabinet doors take spraying well once they've been properly prepared. Doors that are already swollen, delaminating or water-damaged are usually better off being replaced than sprayed, since paint won't fix an underlying structural problem - this is exactly what a site visit and free consultation are for, so you're not paying to paint over an issue that will resurface.
Will you colour match to a specific paint brand?
Yes - colour matching to ranges such as Farrow & Ball and Little Greene is part of our spraying and wrapping work, so you're not limited to a small stock selection of kitchen paint colours.
What happens to my old doors and the waste from the job?
Any doors we're not refitting, along with general job waste, are cleared away under our own registered waste carrier licence, so there's nothing left for you to dispose of.
Is the finish guaranteed?
Our kitchen work, including spraying, is backed by a 5-year labour and installation guarantee and a 2-year guarantee on the products used, so if there's a problem with the workmanship within that period, it's covered.
What if my kitchen has damp or mould - can it still be sprayed?
Not until the damp or mould has been dealt with. Painting over an active damp problem is one of the more common hidden costs of a spray job, because the paint won't adhere properly and the underlying problem carries on causing damage underneath it. We'll flag this at the consultation stage rather than spraying over it and letting it come back.
