Kitchen Paint and Finishes Nottingham

Free Consultation

Tired-looking kitchen cabinets are one of the few things in a house that can be transformed in a matter of days, without ripping the room apart. If your doors and carcasses are still sound underneath - just dated in colour, or scuffed round the handles - a professional respray gives them a smooth, factory-grade finish for a fraction of what a new kitchen costs. Our team sprays on-site using dust-free mobile equipment, matches colour precisely to ranges like Farrow & Ball and Little Greene, and paints a test patch on your own doors before the full job goes ahead.

Paint isn't the right answer for every kitchen, though. Units that are swollen, water-damaged or rotten need repair or replacing before any topcoat goes on, and we'll say so plainly at the free consultation rather than paint over a problem that will just resurface. Where a full redesign is genuinely the better route, our team can also handle that as a newly designed and fitted kitchen, so you get an honest recommendation either way, not a sales pitch for whichever job pays more.

From Cabinet Doors to Ceilings: What a Kitchen Repaint Involves

  • Cabinet doors, drawer fronts and carcasses repainted or resprayed in your chosen finish
  • Walls in a moisture-resistant satin or semi-gloss paint suited to steam and splashes
  • Ceilings in anti-mould, steam-resistant paint
  • Wooden kitchen floors, sealed and protected against spills and foot traffic
  • Splashback areas behind the sink and hob
  • Full surface preparation - cleaning, sanding, filling and priming - before any topcoat goes on
  • A colour consultation with take-home sample pots and an on-site test patch
  • Eco-friendly low-VOC and natural paint options on request
  • Specialty finishes: chalky/textured, subtle metallics, distressed ageing and glazes
From Cabinet Doors to Ceilings: What a Kitchen Repaint Involves

Not Included / Costed Separately

  • Units that are swollen, rotten or water-damaged - these need repair or replacing first, since paint won't fix structural damage, and we'll say so honestly at the free consultation rather than paint over it
  • Full cabinet or carcass replacement and kitchen redesign - that's a design and installation project in its own right, not a repaint
  • Worktop replacement or resurfacing, which is quoted and carried out separately
  • The typical cabinet price quoted covers doors and carcasses only - wall, ceiling and floor painting are priced on top if you want the whole room done

Inside a Respray Job: Consultation to Final Coat

  1. Free consultation & colour samples -- Call to talk through the look you're after; we can bring colour cards and sample pots to your home so you can test shades against your own worktops and light.
  2. Home visit & written quote -- We look at the condition of your cabinets, walls and any problem areas, count doors, and give a no-obligation written quote - usually arranged within a week of getting in touch.
  3. Test patch -- Before booking the full job, we paint a door or a section of wall so you can see the real finish in your kitchen, not just a colour card.
  4. Preparation -- Cleaning with sugar soap, sanding for adhesion, filling any dents or chips, and priming with the primer suited to the surface - the stage that decides how long the finish lasts.
  5. Application -- Cabinets are usually sprayed for a smooth, factory-style finish; walls and ceilings are rollered in multiple thin coats with proper drying time between each.
  6. Completion & sign-off -- Hardware is refitted, the kitchen is cleaned down, and we walk through the finished job with you before wrapping up, backed by our written guarantee.

Why Our Sprayers Get Called Back for Repaints

Nottingham Kitchen Fitter is a family-run business that's been designing, fitting and refinishing kitchens across Nottingham and the wider East Midlands for over 20 years, with more than 800 kitchens completed for local homeowners. The same team that builds and repairs cabinetry - City & Guilds trained master craftsmen - handles the prep work on a respray too, so a damaged door or a loose joint gets fixed properly rather than painted over. Cabinet finishes are applied with dust-free mobile spraying equipment for a showroom-quality, factory-grade result, with colour matched precisely to palettes like Little Greene and Farrow & Ball. Every job is backed by a 5-year guarantee on labour and installation and a 2-year guarantee on materials, agreed in writing before work starts, and because this isn't a national chain, you deal directly with the people doing the painting rather than a call centre.

Where We Spray Kitchens Across Nottingham and the East Midlands

Nottingham Kitchen Fitter works from a regional base covering Greater Nottingham and out across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, roughly a 15-20 mile radius that reaches Mansfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Stapleford, and over the county line to Derby, Long Eaton, Alfreton and Heanor, extending towards Chesterfield and the Derbyshire border. In Wollaton, close to Wollaton Hall and its deer park, requests tend to lean toward classic, country-house colour schemes even in updated kitchens - part of why the traditional Farrow & Ball range gets used so often in that part of the city. Older properties around The Park and the Lace Market bring different challenges again, from layers of old varnish to solid Victorian joinery that's worth keeping rather than replacing.

Your Kitchen Cabinet Repaint and Respray Questions, Answered

Do you guarantee kitchen cabinet respraying work?

Yes - painting and respraying carried out by our team is backed by our standard 5-year guarantee on labour and installation, and a 2-year guarantee on the paint and materials used, confirmed in writing before the job starts.

Is painting always cheaper than a new kitchen?

Usually, if your cabinets are structurally sound and you're happy with the layout - painting refreshes the look for a fraction of the cost of new units. But if doors are swollen, water-damaged, or the wrong size for how you actually use the room, painting only hides the problem for a while. At that point a full replacement, designed and fitted by our team, works out better value long-term, and we'll tell you honestly which applies at the free consultation.

Can you match an exact Farrow & Ball or Little Greene colour on my cabinets?

Yes - colour matching to premium palettes including Farrow & Ball and Little Greene is something we do regularly, and we'll apply a test patch on your actual cabinets so you can check the match in your own kitchen light before committing to the full job.
