Kitchen spray painting in Norfolk. From £800, a fraction of a new kitchen.
I respray kitchen cabinets, drawer fronts and freestanding furniture, on-site at your home or off-site at my workshop in Necton. A typical kitchen takes about a week from doors-off to handover. Pricing is laid out below, no hiding it. A new fitted kitchen starts around £10,000. This doesn't.
Respray. Don't replace.
A new fitted kitchen in Norfolk starts around £10,000 and runs to £30,000 once worktops, appliances and fitting are in. A respray brings the same kitchen back to looking new, in any colour you like, in about a week, for a fraction of that. The cabinets stay. The carcasses stay. The worktops, sinks and appliances stay. Only the finish changes.
Here’s what makes it work in practice: the cabinets need proper preparation, cleaning, degreasing, filling, sanding, before any paint touches them. The primers have to bond to the existing surface, whether that’s laminate, gloss, MDF or wood. The top coat has to be a specialist cabinet paint, not an emulsion borrowed from the lounge. I use durable, low-VOC water-based systems that stand up to oil splashes, fingerprints and daily knocks.
It’s the more sustainable option too, if that matters to you. A respray keeps the original carcasses out of the skip, saving roughly a tonne of waste against a full rip-out. Not the headline reason most people choose it, but worth saying.
On-site or off-site. Your call.
On-site, at your home
If there's room to set up a temporary spray booth and a clean dry area, I spray everything in place. No transport, no risk of damage in transit. Best if the kitchen has the space and you don't mind a booth tucked into a utility or garage.
Off-site, at my workshop
If space is tight, the doors and drawer fronts come back to my workshop in Necton, get sprayed in a controlled environment, and return once cured. The carcasses are still done on-site. The finish is identical either way.
How a kitchen respray actually works
Most sprayers don't walk you through this. I'd rather you knew exactly what's happening from doors-off to handover.
Survey and quote (free)
I visit, measure, count the doors and drawer fronts, check the surface and talk colours and finish. You get a written quote within a few days. No pressure.
Doors off and labelled (day 1)
Every door and drawer front comes off and gets labelled so it goes back exactly where it started. Hinges and handles removed and bagged. Carcasses stay in place, so you can still use the kitchen.
Prep the carcasses
Every visible surface degreased, cleaned, filled, sanded with a dustless system, cleaned again. Everything not being painted gets masked and protected.
Prep the doors and drawer fronts
Same routine, both sides, edges too. This is the longest stage and the one that decides how the finish looks.
Primer
Adhesion primer first so the paint bonds; stain-block over that so nothing bleeds through.
Top coats
Two to three coats of specialist cabinet paint in your colour and finish.
Full cure
The finish is left to cure properly before anything goes near a hinge. Skipping this is how a two-day job ends up chipped by month two.
Refit and handover
Doors and drawers back on, aligned and adjusted. Handles refitted (or new ones fitted). Masking down, kitchen cleaned. I walk you round and leave you a small touch-up tin of your exact colour.
Typical timeline: about a week for an average kitchen, up to two for larger kitchens with a utility or island. A full week of careful prep, two-stage primer, multiple coats and proper cure time is not a two-day rush job.
Any colour. Three finishes.
Most popular brands match cleanly into a specialist cabinet paint. Bring me a colour code, or just the name, and I'll match it. Seen a colour you love but don't know what it is? I can match it from a sample.
Matt
Soft, low-reflection, hides minor imperfections best. Very popular right now, and easy to keep looking clean.
Satin
Slight sheen, easy to wipe down, the safe all-rounder. Suits modern and traditional kitchens alike.
Gloss
High reflection, contemporary, shows fingerprints but looks striking in the right kitchen.
Not sure which suits your kitchen? I'll bring samples to the survey so we can see them in your light.
The price, up front.
Most sprayers in Norfolk hide their prices. I'd rather you saw it up front and decided whether a respray fits your budget before we even speak. These are the starting points. Your exact figure depends on door count, surface, colour, and on-site versus off-site.
What can shift the figure
- On-site versus off-site (off-site adds roughly £100–£250 for transport).
- Surface: gloss, acrylic or dark cabinets need extra adhesion primers.
- Condition: heavily damaged, peeling or grease-bound cabinets need more prep.
- New handles fitted at the same time.
- A full kitchen refresh alongside the cabinets (see below).

Beyond the cabinets
A kitchen respray rarely happens on its own. Three things I often do alongside it.
New door handles
Fresh handles transform a sprayed kitchen for a small spend. I'll fit your choice, or recommend from a short list that holds up.
Full kitchen redecoration
Walls, ceilings, skirting, sometimes a wallpaper feature, all alongside the cabinets, on the same visit, by the same person. Most sprayers can't paint a wall; most decorators can't spray a cabinet. I do both, and the colours coordinate because the same person picks them with you. The most useful thing I offer.
Freestanding & fitted furniture
The same technique works on dressers, cupboards, built-in wardrobes and console tables. Tell me what you've got and I'll quote.
Kitchen spraying, answered
How much does kitchen spray painting cost in Norfolk?
From £800 for a small kitchen. Medium kitchens start around £1,200 and large kitchens around £1,800. The exact figure depends on door count, surface, colour and whether it's on-site or off-site. Off-site adds roughly £100–£250 for transport. Quotes are free, with the cost laid out clearly before any work starts.
How long will I be without a kitchen during the spray?
You're not, really. Allow about a week for a typical kitchen, up to two for larger ones. You keep using the kitchen throughout, just with bare carcasses for the middle stretch while doors are off being prepped and sprayed. They go back on once fully cured. Plan a few takeaway nights for the carcass-spray days.
Will the spray finish last?
A properly prepped and sprayed finish lasts years with normal household use, backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. The longevity comes from the prep: cleaned, degreased, sanded, primed with adhesion and stain-block undercoats, then finished in specialist cabinet paint. Wipe it clean rather than scour it and it holds up to oil, fingerprints and daily knocks.
Do you spray on-site or take the doors away?
Both. If there's room to set up a booth and a clean dry area, I spray on-site at no extra cost. If space is tight, doors and drawer fronts come back to my Necton workshop and return once cured. Off-site typically adds £100–£250. Same paints, same coats, same finish either way.
Can you match Farrow & Ball, Little Greene or Dulux colours?
Yes. Most popular brands and colours match cleanly into specialist cabinet paint. Bring me a colour code or just the name.
Can you spray the cabinets and redecorate the rest of the kitchen too?
Yes, and it's one of the most useful things I offer. Most sprayers can't paint a wall; most decorators can't spray a cabinet. I do both as one job: sprayed cabinets, repainted walls and ceilings, fresh skirting, sometimes a feature wall. One timeline, one set of dustsheets, colours that coordinate.
What kinds of cabinet can you spray?
Laminate, MDF, painted wood, gloss and most vinyl-wrapped doors all spray well with the right primer. Vinyl can be unpredictable if it's peeling, so I'll check at the survey and tell you straight if a door is better replaced. Gloss and dark cabinets need extra adhesion primers, which can lift the price slightly.
What if I scratch it later?
Small scratches and chips can be touched up, and I leave you a tin of your exact colour for the inevitable knocks. Deeper damage on a single door is often cleanest to fix by taking that door off, sanding it back and respraying it. I'll come back for repair work at trade rates.
Are there low-VOC paint options?
Yes. Low-VOC, water-based specialist cabinet paints are what I use as standard. They're less smelly, dry and cure faster than solvent-based equivalents, and meet UK indoor air-quality expectations comfortably. We pick the exact system at the quote stage.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes, a 12-month workmanship guarantee against defects in preparation or application. Paint manufacturers stand behind their products separately. I confirm the terms in writing at the quote stage so you know exactly what's covered before any work starts.
What areas of Norfolk do you cover for kitchen spraying?
The whole county. Norwich, King's Lynn, Great Yarmouth, Thetford, Dereham, Wymondham, Cromer, Hunstanton and most postcodes between. General decorating stays within about 45 minutes of Necton, but kitchen sprays are bigger jobs that justify the travel, so I'll come most places in Norfolk.
