Kitchen spray painter - with Sprayed Finishes by Joseph Brierley

What is a kitchen respray?

A kitchen respray is a professional refinishing process where a specialised, durable paint is sprayed onto your existing kitchen cabinets, doors, drawers, and trim. It is a highly cost-effective alternative to a full kitchen replacement, providing a modern, factory-quality finish in a fraction of the time.

The respraying process

Unlike hand-painting cabinets with a brush or roller, professionals use airless spray equipment to achieve an ultra-smooth, flawless finish without drips or brush marks. A typical process includes:

1. Preparation: All doors, drawers, and hardware are removed. The remaining fixed cabinetry is carefully masked and covered to protect your countertops, floors, and appliances.
2. Cleaning & Repair: Surfaces are thoroughly cleaned to remove grease, followed by sanding to ensure the primer sticks. Chips and scratches are patched or repaired.
3. Priming: 1-2 coats of specialised primer is applied to secure adhesion and durability.
4. Spraying: 2 top coats of specialised paint.
5. Finishing: Multiple thin coats of high-grade, hard-wearing waterborne polyurethane are applied and allowed to dry as a clear protective topcoat to seal the paint against moisture, heat, and everyday wear and tear.

Key benefits

• Cost Savings: Respraying costs a lot less than a full kitchen refit.
• Speed & Convenience: Most projects are completed in just a few days, meaning significantly less upheaval compared to weeks of building work.
• Customisation: You have complete control over the colour and can opt to swap out old knobs and handles for modern ones.
• Eco-Friendly: Respraying reuses your existing cabinets and units, cutting down on waste.

Is a kitchen respray right for you?

This approach is particularly beneficial if your existing kitchen layout suits your needs and the structural components are generally in good condition. If your cupboard doors are showing signs of wear, such as water-damage or peeling, they can be restored using a heat gun to delaminate them, followed by thorough preparation and painting to achieve a finish that surpasses their original appearance.

Additionally, an older kitchen can be reconfigured and updated by a skilled joiner, allowing then for a fresh custom colour application that can save you a significant amount of money. When contemplating a kitchen makeover, it is advisable to hire a professional contractor instead of opting for a DIY method, as they have access to commercial-grade paints and specialised equipment that ensure a high-quality result.
