Your questions answered about kitchen unit spraying near you

What does a kitchen door spraying service near me involve?

Kitchen spray painting will give your existing kitchen doors a whole new look by refreshing them with a new coat of paint.

A kitchen painting company near you can professionally paint your kitchen using the latest spray painting equipment and techniques.

They’ll usually start by cleaning and degreasing your doors to create a nice flat finish. Then, they’ll start spray painting.

Some companies will remove your kitchen doors and drawers and take them to their workshop to paint. Others will carry out the full spray painting job in your home, masking off your kitchen so there’s no overspray.

As well as doors and drawer fronts, kitchen unit spraying usually includes any visible part of your kitchen cabinetry – such as end panels, plinths and cornices.

Is it worth painting kitchen units?

Yes! It’s absolutely worth painting your kitchen units if they’re in good condition, you’re happy with the style of your doors, and you don’t want to change the layout of your space.

In this case, you’ll be able to give the heart of your home a fresh look for a fraction of the cost of a new kitchen. Spray painting your kitchen cabinets can cost up to 70% less than buying new ones!

Painting your kitchen units is not only cost-effective but also sustainable. It means you can recycle your units and prevent them from ending up in landfill unnecessarily.

Can I paint my kitchen myself?

Yes, you can paint your kitchen yourself.

Painting your kitchen cabinets on a DIY basis is usually easiest to do using a brush or roller – although you can also spray paint your kitchen if you’re feeling brave.

That said, we would definitely recommend hiring a professional to get a quality finish.

A kitchen painting company near you will have the skills and expertise needed to properly prepare your kitchen before painting it to create the best and longest-lasting finish possible.

Plus, they’ll be able to spray paint your kitchen without the risk of getting paint on your floors, walls and other areas of your home.

How long should it take to paint a kitchen?

How long it takes to paint a kitchen will depend on lots of different factors, like the number of cabinets, their size and what they’re made from.

That said, as a rough guide, kitchen painting typically takes around four days when carried out by a professional.

What kind of kitchen cabinets cannot be painted?

Some kinds of kitchen cabinets shouldn’t be painted.

We advise against painting thermofoil cabinets and laminate cabinets. Both consist of a thin layer over an MDF core.

Neither will paint very well, largely because they have very slick surfaces. This means the paint is likely to peel off after a short while.

Is it better to wrap or paint kitchen cupboards?

As a general rule, painting your kitchen cabinets will result in a slicker, longer-lasting finish than wrapping them.

Vinyl wrap is a decent alternative to painting if you want to change the colour of your kitchen temporarily. It’s also less expensive than painting your cupboards. But there are downsides.

Vinyl wrap is less durable and is prone to peeling if it’s used near high heat appliances like ovens. It also doesn’t fare well on cupboards that have a high gloss finish. This is because the glue can chemically alter the gloss finish, creating an orange peel effect.

If you’re hoping for a high-quality finish that will stand the test of time, paint is usually the better option.

Why hire a kitchen painting company near me?

Hiring a kitchen painting company is the best way to get a high-quality finish that you can be proud of. Here are some of the main benefits.

Guarantee

Some kitchen painting companies will offer a guarantee that the paint won’t flake, crack or peel. These guarantees can last up to 10 years!

Expertise

A kitchen painting company near you will have the knowledge and experience to know what kind of paint is right for your cabinets, and how best to prepare them for painting.

High quality

Kitchen painters are experts who know what they’re doing. They’ll be best placed to achieve a high-quality finish that will be the envy of all your friends.

Save money

If you paint your kitchen cabinets yourself, there’s a risk the paint could peel and you could end up having to pay an expert to rectify your mistakes. Hiring kitchen painters to get it right first time could save you money in the long run.

Convenience

Painting – and particularly spray painting – can be a messy and time-consuming job. Leave it to the experts to save time, save energy and reduce the risk of getting paint on your floors, walls and other parts of your home.

How much does it cost to paint my kitchen?

How much it costs to spray paint your kitchen will depend on lots of different factors. These include:

• The number of cabinets

• Their size

• What material they’re made of

• The design of your cabinets

• How accessible your kitchen units are

• The quality of the spray paint materials

• What prep work is needed

• Your location

That said, as a rough quide, you can expect to pay in the region of £800-£1,600 to spray paint all of your kitchen cabinets
