How much does kitchen respraying cost in South Wales?

A kitchen respray costs a fraction of a full replacement because you keep the carcasses, layout, worktops and appliances and only refinish what's visible. Here are honest guide ranges for South Wales and what moves the number.

Guide prices

  • Small kitchen (up to ~12 doors): from around £1,200
  • Medium kitchen: around £1,800–£3,000
  • Large kitchen, island or two-tone: around £3,000–£5,000+
  • Handleless conversion: around £400 added

Kitchen resprays vary depending on the number of doors, drawers, panels and finish required, but they are usually significantly cheaper than replacing the kitchen. Every job is quoted in person after a free survey, so treat these as guide figures. Full detail is on our kitchen respraying cost page.

What affects the price

  1. Door, drawer and panel count. The biggest single factor. More fronts means more prep, more spraying, more time.
  2. Finish. Matt, eggshell, satin or gloss. Eggshell is our durable default and doesn't usually change the price.
  3. Extras. A handleless conversion, a two-tone scheme, or a contrasting island all add a little.
  4. Substrate. Solid wood, veneer and most laminates respray well; foil-wrapped doors with lifting foil may not, which we'll flag at survey.

How it compares with a new kitchen

A respray typically lands between a fifth and a tenth of the cost of a like-for-like replacement, and the carcasses you already have are often better than what's fitted today. If your layout works and the units are sound, respraying is almost always the better value, more on that in kitchen respray vs new kitchen.

FAQ

Kitchen respraying cost, your questions.

Short, honest answers. If we've missed yours, we'll reply in thirty minutes.

Is it really cheaper than a new kitchen?
Substantially. A respray typically lands between a fifth and a tenth of the cost of a like-for-like replacement, and the carcasses you already have are usually better than what most retailers fit today. We'll give you a firm written number after survey so you can compare directly.
How durable is a resprayed kitchen?
When properly prepared and sprayed using professional coating systems, the finish is extremely durable and backed by our written guarantee. Most factory-painted doors carry a single-coat lacquer over MDF; we apply three coats of 2K commercial lacquer over full preparation. The guarantee says the rest.
Can you respray oak or veneer doors?
Solid oak, yes. Real-wood veneer, yes. Plastic-foiled doors with peeling foil, no, the foil needs to come off first which means new doors are cheaper. We'll tell you straight on the survey.
What finishes do you offer?
Matt (5% sheen), eggshell (15%, our default), satin (30%), gloss (70%). Eggshell is the most durable for daily use and the most popular.
Will the kitchen smell during the job?
On the day the carcasses are sprayed, yes, mildly. We use low-VOC 2K product and ventilate aggressively. The smell is gone within 48 hours.
Can we use the kitchen while you work?
Doors come off in the morning of day one and go to the studio. You use the kitchen as normal that week. Carcasses are sprayed on a single day, usually a Friday, and you stay out of the kitchen for 24 hours. Doors back on the following week.
