Our Kitchen Spraying Process

1

Free Survey & Quote

We visit your property, assess your kitchen cabinets, and provide a detailed written quote with colour consultation.

2

Preparation

Doors, drawer fronts and hardware are removed. All surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and sanded to create the perfect key for the new finish.

3

Priming

Specialist adhesion primer is applied to ensure the top coat bonds permanently to the existing surface — critical for long-lasting results.

4

Spraying

Multiple coats of high-quality paint or lacquer are applied using professional HVLP spray equipment, with proper drying time between coats.

5

Reassembly

Once fully cured, all doors, drawers and hardware are refitted. New handles can be supplied and fitted if desired.

Kitchen Spraying FAQs

How long does kitchen spraying last?

Professional kitchen cabinet spraying lasts 8-10 years with normal use. We use specialist two-pack polyurethane and acrylic lacquer finishes designed for kitchen environments — resistant to heat, moisture, grease and daily wear. The key is proper preparation and professional-grade products, which is why DIY spray results rarely match professional longevity.

Can any kitchen be sprayed?

Most kitchens with solid wood, MDF, or laminate cabinets are suitable for spraying. We assess each kitchen individually — if cabinet carcasses are structurally sound (no water damage, warping or delamination), spraying is almost always viable. Kitchens with heavily damaged or swollen MDF, or very cheap foil-wrapped doors, may not be suitable. We'll always give you an honest assessment.

How much does kitchen cabinet spraying cost?

Kitchen cabinet spraying typically costs £750-£2,500 depending on kitchen size and finish. A standard kitchen with 15-20 units costs around £1,200-£1,500. Compare this to full kitchen replacement at £8,000-£15,000+ and the savings are substantial. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all kitchen spraying projects across Devon.

How long does kitchen spraying take?

Kitchen spraying typically takes 3-5 working days from start to finish. This includes thorough preparation (cleaning, degreasing, sanding), priming, multiple spray coats with drying time between each, and reassembly. Your kitchen remains partially usable throughout — unlike replacement which can leave you without a kitchen for 2-4 weeks.
