What's Covered in a Cabinet Respray

What's Covered in a Cabinet Respray, and What's Priced as an Extra

  • A consultation to talk through colours, finish and your kitchen's current condition before any work is booked in
  • Protective covering of floors, worktops and appliances before spraying starts
  • Removal of cabinet doors, drawers and hardware so they can be sprayed properly rather than masked around in place
  • Degreasing and cleaning of every surface being sprayed, then sanding down to give the primer something to key onto
  • A primer coat followed by the paint or lacquer itself, sprayed in your choice of matte, satin, semi-gloss or high gloss
  • A quality check and any touch-ups once the first coat has cured
  • Reassembly of doors, drawers and hardware, and removal of all protective coverings
  • A final walkthrough with you to sign off the finish before the job is called complete

Not Included / Costed Separately

  • New handles, knobs and pulls - these are offered as a customisation option and quoted separately from the core respray
  • New shelving, under-cabinet lighting or changes to the cabinet layout - available, but priced as extras rather than part of the standard respray
  • Worktop replacement - a respray covers the cabinets and doors, not the worktop itself
  • The appliances themselves - these are protected and worked around during spraying, not resurfaced or repainted
  • Structural repairs or a full new kitchen fit - if a carcass is damaged or you want a different layout, that's a separate job worth discussing at the free consultation

Typical cost From £800, most projects £800-£1,800 Priced individually at your consultation Substantially more - new carcasses, doors and worktops throughout
Time on site 2 to 5 days Similar prep and turnaround to spraying Weeks, plus lead time for made-to-order units
Disruption Dust-free on-site process, kitchen largely usable throughout Low, similar to spraying Kitchen out of use for the full project
Finish and durability Low-VOC paint or lacquer, colour-matched, 2-year guarantee on the finish Can peel, bubble or look less authentic over time New factory finish, no colour-matching needed
Best suited to Cabinets that are structurally sound but dated in colour or finish A quick surface refresh on simple, flat doors Damaged carcasses, layout changes, or wanting everything new

Why the Prep Work Gets as Much Attention as the Paint

Spray finishing is one of three specialist areas the team works in, alongside bespoke joinery and stone worktops, so the people spraying your cabinets can also tell you what's underneath the existing finish and how the doors were originally built - useful when deciding whether a door needs stripping back to bare wood or will take a scuff-sand and bonding primer instead. The process itself is factory-grade and dust-free, run with extraction and full protective sheeting, so the kitchen stays largely usable rather than being sealed off in plastic for days on end. Colours are matched against known reference ranges such as Farrow & Ball and Little Greene rather than mixed by eye, which matters if you want to repaint again in a few years or add a matching cupboard later and need the same colour reproduced accurately. The company is also an independent installation specialist for supply-only brands including Howdens, Wren Kitchens, Magnet and premium German handleless systems, so the sprayers are used to recognising factory finishes such as foil wrap, melamine and factory lacquer on sight - that identification is what decides which primer gets used and how long it needs to cure before the topcoat goes on, and getting it wrong is the usual reason a cheap respray peels or chips within the first year. Every job still carries the same written guarantee as the rest of the company's work: 5 years on the labour and installation, 2 years on the paint and materials.

Spray Painting Across Derby's Different Kitchens

Spray painting jobs are carried out at the property across Derby and the surrounding towns - Chaddesden, Alvaston, Allestree and Mickleover on the Derby side, out to Belper, Duffield, Ripley, Heanor, Ilkeston and Long Eaton, with visits also made into Chesterfield, Alfreton, Swadlincote, Matlock, Wirksworth, Bakewell, Buxton, Dronfield and Nottingham. The mix of housing across the area means genuinely different jobs turn up week to week. Older semis around Alvaston, Chaddesden and Allestree, many built between the wars, often still have their original oak-veneer or solid timber cabinet doors - these take a sprayed finish well once decades of wax or varnish have been stripped back first. Kitchens fitted during the estate developments in Oakwood, Chellaston and Mickleover through the 1990s and 2000s are more likely to be foil-wrapped or melamine-faced chipboard (MFC) doors, which need a longer flash-off time between coats and a bonding primer rather than a standard undercoat, or the paint will lift at the edges within months. Out towards the Derbyshire Dales - Wirksworth, Matlock and the villages around Bakewell - older stone cottages and cellar kitchens can run damp, so cabinets are checked for moisture before spraying and the schedule adjusted rather than coating over a surface that hasn't dried out properly. Derbyshire's hard water also leaves a grease-and-limescale film on the doors nearest the hob and sink in most kitchens, which is why those doors get an extra degreasing pass rather than the standard single wipe-down before sanding.
