Remodelling Your Kitchen? Respray It Instead

Kitchen remodelling doesn’t have to mean ripping everything out and starting again. For most homeowners in Surrey and South London, a professional kitchen respray delivers a factory-quality finish, a completely transformed look, and a result that lasts — without the cost, mess, or weeks of disruption that come with a full replacement. I’ve been doing this since 2004, and the number of clients who wish they’d done it sooner tells its own story.

Why Respraying Beats a Full Kitchen Replacement

A new kitchen is one of the most expensive home improvements you can make. By the time you’ve paid for new units, worktops, appliances, flooring, fitting, and finishing, the bill is substantial. Respraying your existing cabinets and doors typically costs a fraction of that — and in most cases, the result is indistinguishable from new.

The key question isn’t cost. It’s condition. If your cabinet carcasses are sound and your layout works, there’s no logical reason to replace them. What you’re really unhappy with is the colour, the finish, or the wear. That’s exactly what we fix.

What Happens to Your Kitchen During a Respray

We’ve refined our process over 20 years. Here’s what to expect:

• All doors and drawer fronts are removed and taken to our workshop for off-site finishing
• Carcasses and frames are prepared and sprayed in situ
• Surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and sanded before any paint is applied
• We use professional water-based, low-VOC coatings — the same calibre of finish used in factory environments
• You don’t need to empty your cupboards
• Most kitchens are completed within five days

There are no brush marks. No roller texture. Just a smooth, hard, durable finish that looks like it came straight from the manufacturer.

The Finish We Use

The quality of the coating matters as much as the application. We use professional-grade, water-based paints that cure to a tough, cleanable surface — tested for use in kitchens where heat, steam, and daily contact are the norm. We also offer full Farrow & Ball colour matching, so if you’ve fallen in love with a particular shade, we can work to it. Brands like Tikkurila set the benchmark for professional spray finishes, and we hold ourselves to that standard.

Colour Options: More Than You’d Get With New

This is where respraying genuinely becomes a game-changer. When you buy a new kitchen, you’re limited to what the manufacturer offers in your budget. When you respray, the colour options are almost unlimited. Want to match a specific Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, or RAL colour? We can do that. Want to test a shade before committing? We can discuss samples.

It means your kitchen looks exactly the way you want it — not the closest available option at a given price point.

Minimal Disruption to Your Home

A full kitchen installation can leave you without a working kitchen for several weeks. With a respray, your kitchen remains largely functional throughout the process. Because doors are removed and finished off-site, the disruption to your home is minimal. Most clients are surprised how straightforward it is.

For busy households — families, people working from home, anyone who can’t afford weeks of takeaways — that matters.

A More Sustainable Choice

Replacing a kitchen generates significant waste. Cabinets, doors, and fittings go to landfill. New materials are manufactured, shipped, and installed. It adds up. Respraying extends the life of what’s already there. Less waste, lower carbon footprint, and a result you’ll be proud of. It’s the more responsible option — and increasingly, it’s the one more homeowners are choosing.

Guaranteed for 10 Years

We back our work with a 10-year guarantee. That’s not a figure we use lightly. It reflects the quality of our preparation, our coatings, and the skill of our City & Guilds qualified team. If you’re comparing quotes, I’d encourage you to ask every company what their guarantee looks like. You can also check independent reviews on Checkatrade — transparency matters to us.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a professional kitchen respray take compared to fitting a new kitchen?

Most kitchen resprays are completed within five days. A new kitchen installation typically takes several weeks, including delivery, fitting, and finishing. The respray process is designed to keep disruption to a minimum — you don’t need to empty your cupboards, and your kitchen remains largely usable throughout.

Will a resprayed kitchen look as good as a factory-finished new kitchen?

Done properly, yes. The key is preparation and the quality of the coatings used. We take doors off-site to our workshop for finishing, use professional water-based spray equipment, and apply paint to the same standard as a factory environment. There are no brush marks or roller texture — just a smooth, hard, durable finish.

What colours can I choose for my kitchen respray?

Virtually any colour. We offer Farrow & Ball colour matching along with a wide range of RAL, Little Greene, and other trade colour systems. You’re not limited to a manufacturer’s catalogue — if you have a colour in mind, we can almost certainly match or work to it.
