Kitchen Spray Painting vs Traditional Painting in Nottingham

• Dust-free, on-site spraying of cabinet doors, drawer fronts, end panels and frames using airless spray equipment and mobile extraction
• Multiple thin coats built up to a durable, factory-grade lacquer finish rather than one heavy coat
• Colour matching to premium palettes such as Little Greene or Farrow & Ball, including bespoke colour mixing
• Handle, hinge and fitting removal and re-fitting so doors hang correctly once sprayed
• Spraying of external uPVC doors and window profiles where these form part of the same job
• A written warranty on the completed spray finish

• Doors, frames or carcasses that are swollen, delaminating or otherwise structurally damaged - these need replacing rather than spraying, and we'll say so at the home visit rather than spray over a problem
• Full kitchen redesigns, new cabinetry or layout changes - that's our design and installation service, not a respray
• Stone or quartz worktop resurfacing - worktops are handled separately by our stonemasons, not the spray team
• Wall plastering or structural repair beyond the masking and prep a spray job itself needs
• Appliance disconnection and reinstallation, unless it's agreed and quoted for up front

1. Home visit and the spray-or-paint call -- We look at every door and frame in the kitchen, not just a sample panel, because a full respray only makes sense if the whole run of doors is structurally sound timber or laminate. Where a few doors are swollen or delaminating alongside others that are fine, we'll say so plainly rather than spraying over a problem, and talk through whether spraying, a targeted repaint, or a mix of both actually suits your cabinets.
2. Written quote covering the whole kitchen -- Because a respray treats every door and frame in one pass rather than room by room, the quote is priced for the full run - doors, drawer fronts, frames and any uPVC profiles included - so there's one figure to work from rather than a running total that grows as more panels get added.
3. Strip-down, masking and colour mixing -- Every door and drawer front comes off its hinges and is cleaned and sanded as a batch, hardware is bagged and labelled, and the kitchen is masked out entirely - worktops, walls, floor - because the whole room is out of use for the day rather than one section at a time as with a brush repaint. Colour is mixed to the chosen Little Greene or Farrow & Ball match before spraying starts.
4. Spraying the full run in one visit -- Primer and several thin coats of finish go on with airless spray equipment and dust-free mobile extraction, and because every door is processed together, the sheen and colour depth come out identical across the whole kitchen - something that's harder to guarantee when doors are brush-painted individually over separate sessions.
5. Cure, rehang and sign-off -- Doors cure fully before hinges and handles go back on and everything is rehung true and square. We walk the finished kitchen with you door by door, check coverage and colour match across the full run, and issue the written installation warranty before we leave.

Spraying an entire kitchen in one pass is generally cheaper than a full replacement, because you're paying for a finish across the whole run of doors rather than new carcasses, doors and worktops. The main cost driver is how many doors and drawer fronts go through the process together, whether frames are sprayed in situ, and the colour and finish chosen - a respray priced as one job for the whole kitchen usually works out lower per door than paying for doors to be touched up individually over time. For comparison, a complete new kitchen through us typically starts from around £5,000, with finance available through our FCA-regulated finance partner subject to status; a full respray sits well below that for most kitchens because the boxes and worktops stay exactly as they are. A proper, itemised price needs a home visit so we can count every door in the kitchen, check the substrate is sound across the whole run, and confirm the finish - we don't quote spray jobs without seeing the kitchen first.

Choosing between a respray and a repaint comes down to a judgment call about the doors themselves, and that's better made by someone who has stripped down and refinished cabinets on hundreds of Nottingham kitchens than guessed at from a photo. We've fitted and refinished kitchens across the city and into Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire for over 20 years, so the spray team has seen plenty of MDF doors that looked fine from three feet away but were already swelling at the edges - the kind of thing a brush repaint can hide for a season, and that our strip-down and prep stage catches straight away, before you pay for a finish that won't last. Every sprayed kitchen leaves with a written installation warranty, backed by a 5-year guarantee on the labour and a 2-year guarantee on the products used, and we're members of the Construction Industry Training Board and the Federation of Small Businesses rather than an unregistered outfit working out of a van. Being family-run rather than a franchise means the person who does the home visit and quotes the job is usually the person who ends up spraying it, which matters most at the point where the call between spray and brush comes down to a close look at how far gone the doors actually are.

Our respray team works out from Nottingham across the city - West Bridgford, Wollaton, Beeston, Arnold and Sneinton - and into Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, taking in Mansfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Stapleford, Derby, Long Eaton, Alfreton and Heanor. Because the spray gear and dust-free extraction unit travel to you rather than the whole kitchen needing to come out, we also take on respray work further afield towards Chesterfield, Sheffield, Wakefield and York. In the Lace Market and around the city centre we're often colour-matching a full run of doors to suit exposed brick and darker hardware in converted apartments, while in Wollaton and the older streets near Wollaton Hall it's usually a complete set of Shaker-style doors going from tired white to a heritage colour in one visit rather than being touched up piecemeal.

The only way to know whether spraying or a full repaint is right for your cabinets is to have someone look at the actual doors and frames, not photos. Book a free home visit, get a written quote with no obligation, and get a straight answer on whether your kitchen is a good candidate for spraying before any paint goes near it.
