A kitchen respray costs between £1,200 and £4,000 in the UK. Where your kitchen lands in that range comes down to three things: the size of the kitchen, the number of doors and drawer fronts, and the finish you choose. Most standard kitchens sit around the middle. We spray in your home, in a few days, and every kitchen carries a 5-year insurance-backed guarantee.

How Much Does a Kitchen Respray Cost?
A kitchen respray costs £1,200 to £4,000 — the whole range, from the smallest kitchen we would take on to a large open-plan kitchen with an island. It is not a starting price with the real figure kept back for the survey.
| Kitchen size | What that usually means | Where it lands in the range |
|---|---|---|
| Small kitchen | Fewest doors and drawer fronts, one colour, straightforward access | The £1,200 end |
| Standard kitchen | The majority of the kitchens we spray | Mid-range |
| Large or open-plan kitchen | Most doors and drawer fronts, often an island, often a specialist finish | Towards £4,000 |
Small kitchen
Fewer doors and drawer fronts, one colour throughout. This is where the £1,200 sits — a real price, not a headline.
Standard kitchen
The bulk of what we spray: a fitted kitchen with a normal run of base and wall units. Most land mid-range.
Large or open-plan kitchen
More doors, more drawer fronts, usually an island, often a specialist finish. That is what takes a kitchen towards £4,000.

What’s Included in the Price
The price covers the parts of the kitchen you look at and touch every day:
- Cabinet doors and drawer fronts
- Kitchen cupboards
- Kitchen units, frames and end panels
- Kitchen doors
We spray in your home, not in a workshop. Your kitchen is sprayed in place. Nothing is unscrewed, boxed up and driven away, and nothing comes back a fortnight later hoping it still fits. Worktops, walls and appliances are fully masked, the units stay exactly where they are, and you get the room back in days rather than weeks.
What the price does not cover: the walls, the ceiling, worktops, appliances or anything structural. If you have been searching how much does it cost to paint a kitchen and you meant the whole room, this is not that job — this is the cabinetry, which is the part that changes how the kitchen actually looks.
Every quote also includes a free digital preview of your own kitchen in the colours you are considering, and a fixed written price that does not move once you have agreed it.
Why a Cheap Quote Costs More
Search kitchen respray cost and you will be told the market starts around £600 or £800. Ours starts at £1,200, so it is worth being straight about what the difference buys.
Insurance-backed means the cover sits with an insurer rather than with us. If we were not here in year four, the guarantee still would be. That is the thing a cheap quote almost never comes with, and it is usually what the cheaper price leaves out.
You get a free survey first, then a price in writing. It does not move when the doors come off and it does not grow halfway through the week.

What Changes the Price
Two kitchens the same size can quote differently. How much to spray a kitchen comes down to these, roughly in the order they move the number.
The biggest factor by far. Every door is a piece to strip back, prime, spray and cure, so twenty doors really is twice the work of ten. The cost to respray kitchen cupboards works the same way, and so does kitchen door spraying cost.
We spray wood, MDF, laminate and vinyl-wrapped doors, and they do not all behave the same. Vinyl-wrapped and high-gloss surfaces need more preparation before a coating will bond, and preparation is time.
An island, a longer run of units or an awkward corner all add surface area and access time.
Shaker, slab, gloss or grained, any colour you can name — but some finishes take longer to lay down evenly than others.
Doors painted badly before, or chipped and water-marked, need more work before spraying.
What about doing it yourself? A tin of cabinet paint and a long weekend costs under £100, and plenty of people are happy with that. Professional kitchen cabinet painting cost is higher because it is sprayed, cured properly, and guaranteed.
Kitchen Respray Cost vs a New Kitchen
A respray changes how your kitchen looks. A new kitchen changes what it is. If the units are sound and it is the colour you have gone off, you are choosing between these two numbers:
| Comparison | Kitchen respray | New kitchen |
|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | £1,200–£4,000 | £5,000–£10,000+ |
| Your existing units | Stay exactly where they are | Ripped out and skipped |
| Time in your home | Days | Weeks |
| What actually changes | Colour and finish | Layout, units, worktops, the lot |
That is thousands of pounds, and the kitchen you already own does not end up in a skip.

Kitchen Respray Cost FAQs
Is respraying a kitchen worth it?
If the units are sound and you have gone off the colour, yes — £1,200–£4,000 to change how it looks, against £5,000–£10,000+ to replace it. If the carcases are water-damaged or the layout is wrong, a respray fixes neither.
How much does it cost to respray a kitchen in the UK?
Between £1,200 and £4,000, depending on the size of the kitchen, the number of doors and drawer fronts, and the finish you choose. Most standard kitchens land in the middle of that range, and the work is done in your home rather than in a workshop.
Is it cheaper to respray or wrap a kitchen?
Different jobs. Wrapping lays a vinyl film over your doors; spraying puts a coating onto them that bonds to the surface. We spray rather than wrap — including doors that have already been wrapped, which is a common reason people call us.
How long does a spray painted kitchen last?
Every kitchen we spray carries a 5-year insurance-backed guarantee. The coatings are made for kitchen use — hard-wearing and wipeable, for a room used every day.
How much to paint kitchen cabinets?
The same £1,200–£4,000. Painting and spraying usually mean the same job to people searching; what we do is spray, which is why there are no brush marks or roller texture. Searching how much does it cost to paint kitchen cabinets in the UK? This is the range.
How much does it cost to paint a kitchen — does that include the walls?
No. These prices cover the cabinetry: doors, drawer fronts, cupboards, units, frames and end panels. Walls and ceilings are masked and protected, not painted.
