What does kitchen cabinet spraying involve?

Kitchen cabinet spraying is a professional way to refresh your existing kitchen without replacing it.

A typical job will include:

• Cleaning and degreasing all surfaces

• Sanding or keying the cabinets

• Priming to help the paint adhere properly

• Applying multiple spray coats for a smooth, even finish

Some companies remove doors and spray them in a workshop, while others carry out the work in your home and carefully mask off surrounding areas to prevent overspray.

As well as doors and drawer fronts, this often includes panels, plinths and other visible parts of your cabinetry.

Is it worth painting kitchen units?

Painting your kitchen units can be a good option if:

• The cabinets are in good condition

• You’re happy with the kitchen layout

• You want a more cost-effective alternative to replacing your kitchen entirely

It can give your kitchen a fresh new look at a significantly lower cost than installing a new one. It’s also a more sustainable option, as it reduces waste and avoids sending old units to landfill.

FAQs about kitchen painters

Can I paint my kitchen myself?

You can paint kitchen cabinets yourself using a brush, roller or spray kit. However, achieving a smooth, durable finish can be difficult without proper preparation and equipment. Many homeowners choose to hire a professional to get a finish that lasts.

How long does it take to paint a kitchen?

Most kitchen painting projects take around three to five days, depending on the size of the kitchen and the amount of preparation required.

What kitchen cabinets should not be painted?

Thermofoil and some laminate cabinets can be difficult to paint because of their smooth surfaces. Paint may not adhere well and can peel over time. A professional painter can advise if your cabinets are suitable.

Is it better to wrap or paint kitchen cupboards?

Paint generally provides a smoother and more durable finish. Vinyl wrap can be a cheaper option, but it may be more prone to peeling, especially near heat.
