Kitchen Cabinet Painting Services
Spray-Painted Doors
Spray-painted cabinet doors deliver a factory-quality finish superior to brush or roller application. The kitchen is masked and protected 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. Your decorator assesses surface type at the site visit and selects the correct primer and paint system.
Colour Selection and Modern Finishes
Modern kitchen cabinet finishes, whether 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. Your decorator includes paint samples and discusses 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.
Existing cabinet condition at the site visit is assessed. 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. Your decorator discusses 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
Your decorator visits and assesses cabinet condition, measures door and drawer fronts, notes hinge type and carcass material, and checks for any structural issues.
2. Surface preparation
Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are removed and transported to the 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. Finish quality before doors are reinstalled is inspected.
5. Reassembly and adjustment
Doors are rehung and adjusted for alignment. Hinges are checked for operation. The kitchen is cleaned and inspected before handover.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting Costs in Wokingham
Every kitchen is different and is priced in the written quotation after a site visit. Call to arrange yours.
Cost Overview
Kitchen cabinet painting for a standard unit set is scoped by door count, preparation, and spray finish specification. Your decorator confirms the scope and price in a written quote after a site visit.
What Affects the Price
Three things drive the price:
Preparation and Access
- Number and size of doors and drawers. A small kitchen with 8 to 10 doors costs less than a large galley kitchen with 20+ doors.
- Surface type and condition. Solid wood cabinets in good condition are cheaper to prepare than MDF with surface damage or polyester laminate finishes.
- Finish specification. Standard two-pack finishes are the baseline. Premium matte or textured systems cost more per unit.
