How much does kitchen cabinet spraying cost?

A typical hand-sprayed kitchen respray in Lutterworth costs between £1,500 and £4,500. Small kitchens (10–14 doors) start around £1,500. Mid-size kitchens (15–22 doors) sit at £2,400–£3,200. Large or bespoke kitchens (23+ doors with islands) range from £3,400 to £4,500+.

Is spraying cheaper than a new kitchen?

Yes — typically 75–90% cheaper. A new mid-range fitted kitchen costs £8,000–£25,000+ once units, worktops, fitting and waste removal are included. A professional respray achieves a factory finish on the existing carcasses for a fraction of that.

What affects the price of a kitchen respray?

Door count, finish type (matte, satin or gloss two-pack), current condition (gloss, oak grain or damaged surfaces need more prep), colour choice, on-site vs. workshop spraying, and whether handles, hinges or end panels are included.

What you actually pay for

Roughly 70% of a respray is preparation — degreasing, sanding, masking and priming. The spray itself is the fastest part. Cutting corners on prep is how cheap quotes end up peeling within a year.

Respray vs. new kitchen

Save 75 – 90% versus replacing.

Full replacement

£8k – £25k+

2 – 4 weeks. Skip hire. New worktops. Re-plumbing.

Elite respray

£1.5k – £4.5k

3 – 5 days. No skip. No waste. Same layout, new colour.

Frequently asked

How long does it take?

Three to five working days for a typical mid-size kitchen — including drying time between coats. Your kitchen is usable each evening.

Is the finish durable?

Yes. Products cure chemically and outperform factory PU finishes on most production kitchens. Backed by a workmanship guarantee.

Will it look sprayed or hand-painted?

Sprayed. Brush marks are eliminated entirely. Up close it reads as a factory finish, because that's exactly the process — just performed on-site.

Do you spray uPVC and joinery too?

Yes. Same prep standards, using top quality paints & primers . See our uPVC and built-in joinery services for pricing.
