Kitchen Cabinet Painting Services
Spray-Painted Doors
Spray-painted cabinet doors deliver a factory-quality finish superior to brush or roller application. We mask and protect the kitchen while doors are hung elsewhere and painted off-site in a controlled environment.
Off-site spray painting eliminates dust settling on wet paint and ensures even, thin coats that cure to a smooth, durable finish. Doors are returned to site fully cured and ready to hang.
Solid Wood vs MDF Cabinets
Solid wood cabinets need different surface preparation than MDF. Wood grain is sanded to dull the existing finish. MDF is sanded gently to avoid surface damage.
Both respond well to primer specifically selected for the surface. We assess surface type at the site visit and select the correct primer and paint system.
Colour Selection and Modern Finishes
Kitchen cabinets in modern finishes—matte, satin, or gloss—are selected at quotation. Modern finishes transform dated kitchens.
Deep, matte finishes are on-trend. Soft greys and off-whites remain popular. We provide paint samples and discuss colour psychology in kitchens.
Cabinet Painting versus Replacement
Cabinet painting costs a fraction of a full kitchen refit. For homeowners preparing to sell or refreshing without major layout change, cabinet painting is a practical upgrade.
We assess existing cabinet condition at the site visit. If cabinets are structurally sound, painting is a cost-effective solution. If hinges are failing or carcasses are damaged, replacement may be advisable.
Worktops and Carcasses
Painted cabinet carcasses can be updated to match new doors. Existing worktops often benefit from sealing or gentle refresh. We discuss how to coordinate carcass finishes with new door colours.
Budget for worktop refreshing if current surfaces are dated.
Here’s How It Works
1. Kitchen assessment
We visit and assess cabinet condition, measure door and drawer fronts, note hinge type and carcass material, and check for any structural issues.
2. Surface preparation
Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are removed and transported to our workshop. Surfaces are sanded and cleaned. A specialist primer is applied based on surface type.
3. Spray application
Doors are spray-painted in two to three thin coats. Each coat is allowed to cure fully before the next is applied. Off-site spraying ensures a professional finish.
4. Curing and inspection
Painted doors cure fully before return to site. We inspect finish quality before doors are reinstalled.
5. Reassembly and adjustment
Doors are rehung and adjusted for alignment. Hinges are checked for operation. The kitchen is cleaned and inspected before handover.
