Kitchen respray

What you keep, and what actually changes

A respray changes the thing you look at and keeps the thing you paid for. The carcasses, the hinges, the runners, the worktop and the appliances all stay. The doors, drawer fronts and visible frames come back in a different colour with a sprayed finish on them. On a kitchen whose layout works and whose carcasses are sound, it is the single biggest change you can make for the money.

Whether it will work comes down to the doors. Solid timber, MDF and factory sprayed doors take a coating well. Thermofoil or vinyl wrapped doors, the ones with a plastic film over a board, are the difficult case: where the film has started lifting at an edge or a corner it will keep lifting under a new finish, and no amount of preparation changes that. That is worth establishing honestly before anybody quotes.

The work itself is mostly preparation and masking. Doors come off and are numbered, everything is degreased properly because a kitchen carries cooking residue in places you cannot see, surfaces are keyed, the right primer goes on for that substrate, and then the colour is built up in coats. Rushing the degreasing is the single most common reason a resprayed kitchen peels at a handle six months later. Often asked about alongside upvc spraying, commercial painting and fence and garden painting.

What the doors are made of

Timber, MDF and sprayed doors take a coating well. Vinyl wrapped doors that are already lifting will keep lifting, and we will say so.

Degreasing

A kitchen carries cooking residue everywhere. Skipping this is why a respray peels at the handles.

Where the doors are sprayed

Off site or in a sealed area. Either way the kitchen is out of normal use for the duration.

Why people use us

Against the cost of a new kitchen

Any figure we give is an estimate until the doors have been seen, because the doors decide the job.

  • Doors removed, numbered and refitted to the same positions
  • Degreased, keyed and primed for the actual substrate
  • Handles and hinges refitted, or new ones fitted if you want them
  • An honest answer if your doors are not suitable

Frequently asked questions

Kitchen respray: the questions people ask

The ones that come up most. If yours is not here, ring and ask.

Can you respray any kitchen?

Most. The one to be careful with is vinyl or thermofoil wrapped doors where the film has already started to lift at an edge. A coating will not hold that down and it will keep peeling. We would rather tell you before than after.

How long is the kitchen out of use?

Usually a few days rather than weeks, and the doors are the part that is away. You keep the sink, the worktop and the appliances throughout, which is the main practical difference from a new kitchen.

Will it chip?

A properly prepared and primed respray is hard wearing, and it is paint rather than a factory baked finish, so it will mark if something is dropped on an edge. It can also be touched in, which a factory door cannot.

Can I change the handles at the same time?

Yes, and it is the obvious moment to do it since the doors are off. New holes need filling and the filled area needs to be invisible under a sprayed finish, which is straightforward but is a line in the price.

One door and one close up of an edge tells us what they are made of, which is what decides whether this is worth doing.

About Wirral Painting

How the work is actually organised

Wirral Painting takes the job as main contractor and puts the labour on it. One person quotes it, one person is answerable for it, and you are not chasing three numbers to find out who is turning up on Tuesday.

It is worth saying plainly rather than implying a van and a family name. What you get is a written scope with the preparation itemised, a date, and somebody whose problem it is if the date moves.

What we will tell you we are not

Damp treatment, plastering and joinery are other trades. All three turn up constantly in decorating enquiries, because a decorator is usually the first person to see the problem.

A damp patch that keeps returning, a wall that needs replastering rather than filling, a rotten cill under a window you want painted: we will tell you that is what you are looking at rather than put a coat over it and take the money.

No photographs of our work, and why the site says so

There are no job photographs on this site. The slots are placeholders and they are labelled as placeholders. Nothing here is a stock picture presented as a job and nothing is borrowed from another company.

Real photographs go in as jobs are finished and customers are happy for us to use them, and not before. The same goes for anything that looks like a customer quote. There is a section built and ready for them, switched off, and it stays that way until there are real ones with permission attached.

Tell us which rooms, or which elevations, and roughly what state they are in. A photograph on the form answers most of the preparation questions before anybody rings you back.

Goes straight to us. No obligation, and we will not pass your details on.
