Average Cost of Kitchen Respraying
On average, respraying a kitchen in the UK typically costs between £1,500 and £2,500, depending on several key factors:
Size of the kitchen
Kitchens can be deceptive in their size and configuration. A small kitchen might have numerous small units, while a larger kitchen could feature fewer, larger units, or something somewhere in between. The number of doors and drawers is the biggest factor when we calculate the price
Condition of the existing cabinets
Cabinets in good condition will be quicker and cheaper to prepare. If a large amount of repairs are required, or if the laminate is peeling, this may slightly increase the price
Choice of paint and finish
We only use the best paint available as we know it will be easy to clean and durable, and this is what we build into our pricing, as we would not consider using any cheaper alternatives.
Labour and prep time
Preparation is key in respraying. We have our preferred procedures, which are tried and tested.
Spray or hand-painted kitchen cabinets
We have been painting for many years and we can achieve a sprayed like finish using rollers as well as using spray technology, so we can offer both types of finish. Our preferred method is to remove the doors and drawers for spraying in our workshop while hand rollering the carcasses in-situ. We find this to be less disruptive as you do not need to empty your cupboards and you can continue to use your kitchenn throughout the process.

DIY vs. Professional Kitchen Respraying
DIY respraying might cost as little as £100–£300 in materials, but the results can vary widely depending on skill level, tools, and prep work. A botched job can be hard to fix.
Professional services are more expensive but deliver better durability, finish quality, and peace of mind. Professionals have experience in painting all types of kitchens from real wood to gloss laminates.
Is It Worth It?
Yes—if your kitchen layout is still functional and the cabinet structure is sound, respraying can be a fantastic upgrade. You’ll save thousands compared to a full kitchen replacement and can customise your colour to suit current trends or your personal taste.
Is It Environmentally Friendly?
Absolutely. Just think of the amount of materials that will end up in landfills if you replace your kitchen.
How Long Does It Take?
Most respraying jobs take 1-2 weeks, depending on the size of the kitchen and whether the work is done on-site or off-site.
Final Thoughts
Respraying your kitchen is an affordable, fast, and eco-friendly way to transform your space. While prices vary depending on factors like size, finish, and location, most people find that the cost is well worth it for the stunning results.
