Kitchen, Cabinet and Joinery Respraying

Usually, yes, where the carcasses are sound and the hinges and runners still work. Doors and drawer fronts come off and are sprayed, frames, end panels and plinths are masked and sprayed in place. It is an option worth considering when the cabinetry still does its job and only the finish is tired.

Cooking leaves a fine film of grease on every surface in a kitchen, and it is heaviest on the doors nearest the hob. No primer bonds through that film, so a door that has only been sanded and sprayed can look perfect for a few months and then start peeling around the handles. Degreasing first is the step that decides whether the finish stays on.

By what the door is actually made of. Bare or previously painted timber, MDF, melamine, laminate and foil-wrapped fronts all take different primers, and a factory-finished door already carries a coating that the new primer has to grip. Using one default primer on every job is the usual reason a sprayed kitchen chips early.

Usually, yes, with the right primer for that surface. Lifting or bubbling foil at an edge does not automatically rule a door out either - it can often be repaired and properly prepared first. Every surface is assessed before quoting so you know what is realistic before any work starts.

Containment is most of the work. Doors and drawer fronts come off so they can be sprayed away from the room, worktops, floors, appliances, sockets and light fittings are masked and sheeted, and the work area is closed off from the rest of the property before a gun is picked up.

Both, on the same job. Doors and drawer fronts are removed, labelled and sprayed away from the room where the air is controlled. Frames, end panels, plinths and anything fixed in place are masked and sprayed where they stand.

It depends on the number of doors, the finish chosen and how long the coatings need to harden. Richie will give you a realistic answer at the quote stage rather than an optimistic one, because if the timing is going to be inconvenient it is better to know that before the work starts.

A sprayed coating that has been properly degreased, keyed and primed stands up extremely well to everyday kitchen use. Durability comes from thorough preparation, professional application and allowing the coating to cure correctly. RS Spray Decor uses professional furniture-grade paints and coatings specifically suited to this type of work, rather than standard paints typically available from local decorators' merchants. Doors can be refitted before the coating reaches its full hardness, although they should be handled with a little extra care while the finish completes its curing process.

Satin and eggshell are the usual choice in a kitchen. They wipe clean, they hide small imperfections better than gloss, and they do not throw reflections across a run of doors. Flat matt looks superb but marks more easily on surfaces that get handled constantly. Full gloss provides a sharper, highly reflective finish.

Preparation is a major part of the respraying process. Existing surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, prepared, sanded and repaired where necessary before spraying to achieve the smoothest and most consistent finish possible. The exact result will depend on the original condition of the doors, but most surfaces can be significantly improved before the final coating is applied.

Yes. Fitted wardrobes, built-in furniture, internal doors, frames and architrave, panelling, shelving and bespoke joinery are all sprayed the same way. Wardrobe fronts and internal joinery take different wear from kitchen doors, so the specification is not identical.

Yes. Colour can be matched to a sample you have, to an existing scheme in the room, or to a manufacturer's reference you supply. Colour and sheen are both agreed in writing before anything is ordered.

Most conditions are workable. Water-damaged or swollen MDF edges can usually be repaired and properly prepared before spraying, and a soft or flaking existing coating is removed rather than sprayed over. Everything gets looked at before quoting, which is why a proper look at the doors comes first.

Photos are often enough to get you a sensible number quickly. Send a few of the doors and the room to 07990 035522 on WhatsApp, or call and arrange a look in person. Quotes are free and carry no obligation.

Premium German paints, A+ rated and virtually free from plastics and resins. The exact specification is confirmed with you before anything is ordered, including the product used for both primer and topcoat.

No. There is access to a state-of-the-art spray booth, so doors, drawer fronts and loose joinery can be finished off site in controlled conditions and brought back to be refitted. Fixed sections such as frames, end panels and plinths are masked and sprayed in place.

Far less than a sanding job normally does. Dustless sanders take the dust off at the tool rather than into the room, and air scrubbers pull the fine airborne particles out of the air so they are not still floating around to settle on a wet coat.

Washout is captured and dealt with as part of the job rather than put down a drain.
