Why Replace When You Can Refinish?
If your kitchen cabinets are structurally sound, ripping them out is an unnecessary expense and hassle. A brand new kitchen in Hertfordshire can easily cost between £15,000 and £30,000 once you factor in new units, worktop fitting, electrical rewiring, plumbing, and floor tiling.
Professional kitchen cabinet spraying and hand-painting gives you a factory-smooth, ultra-durable finish in any colour of your choice for a fraction of that cost—typically between £1,200 and £3,500.

Can you paint laminate or peeling vinyl-wrapped kitchen doors?
Yes! If your kitchen doors have peeling vinyl wrap, we use heat guns to cleanly strip off the failed vinyl film, exposing the intact MDF board underneath. We then prime it with specialist adhesion primers (Zinsser BIN / Tikkurila Otex) and spray or hand-finish it. For laminate or melamine kitchens, high-adhesion chemical bond primers guarantee the paint fuses permanently without peeling.
How long does a spray-painted kitchen cabinet finish last?
With proper care, our painted kitchens last between 8 to 12 years. We use specialist water-borne polyurethane lacquer paints designed specifically for high-wear kitchen environments, which resist chipping, grease, moisture, and UV yellowing.
How much does kitchen cabinet painting cost compared to a new kitchen?
Replacing a quality kitchen in Hertfordshire typically costs between £15,000 to £30,000+ once new units, worktops, plumbing, and tiling are factored in. Professional cabinet spray-painting costs between £1,200 to £3,500 for a complete transformation—saving you up to 80% while retaining your existing layout.
Do I need to empty all my kitchen cupboards before you start?
No. You only need to clear worktops and the insides of drawers/cupboards if you want cabinet interiors painted. For exterior door and frame painting, we mask and seal cabinet openings with protective paper, keeping all internal contents 100% clean and dust-free.
What paint sheen levels can I choose from?
We offer a range of professional sheen levels: Velvet Matt (10% sheen), Eggshell / Satin (20-30% sheen - our most popular choice balancing light reflection and cleanability), or Semi-Gloss (50% sheen). We tint topcoats to any Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, or Benjamin Moore shade.
