Professional Kitchen Cabinet Spraying For A Fresh, Factory-Quality Finish
If your kitchen cabinets are still in good condition but the colour or finish has become dated, kitchen cabinet spraying can completely change the appearance of the room without the need to replace the existing cabinetry.
At The Decorator Guys, we specialise in professionally preparing and spray coating suitable kitchen cabinet doors, drawer fronts and other visible surfaces.
Instead of living with a kitchen you no longer like, or paying for a complete replacement, spraying can give suitable existing cabinets a completely new finish in the colour and style you want.
What Is Kitchen Cabinet Spraying?
Kitchen cabinet spraying involves professionally preparing suitable existing cabinet surfaces before applying a specialist spray coating system.
Unlike simply painting a kitchen with a brush or roller, professional spraying is designed to produce a smooth and consistent finish across the doors and drawer fronts.
The process is particularly useful when:
- You like your existing kitchen layout
- The cabinets are structurally sound
- You want to change the colour
- Your doors have become tired or dated
- You want to modernise the kitchen without replacing everything
Every kitchen is different, so the existing material, coating and condition need to be assessed before work begins.
Our Kitchen Cabinet Spraying Process
1. Assessing Your Existing Kitchen
Before providing a quotation, we need to understand what we're working with.
We can assess photographs of your kitchen initially, followed by a more detailed assessment where required.
We'll consider the material, existing finish, condition and which components you want to have sprayed.
2. Removing The Doors And Drawers
For suitable projects, kitchen doors and drawer fronts are carefully removed.
We number the components so that everything can be returned to its correct position when the spraying work is complete.
This is particularly important when there are multiple doors that look very similar.
3. Professional Surface Preparation
Preparation is one of the most important parts of the process.
Kitchen cabinets can have years of cooking grease, cleaning products and general household contamination on their surfaces.
The existing coating also needs to be prepared correctly.
Depending on the kitchen, preparation may include cleaning, degreasing, keying, sanding, repairs and other appropriate preparation before the coating system is applied.
4. Primer Or Undercoat
Where required, a suitable primer or undercoat is applied to help prepare the surface for the finishing system.
The product used depends on the existing substrate and coating.
This is one of the reasons we don't treat every kitchen exactly the same.
5. Professional Spray Application
The selected finish is then professionally spray applied.
Spraying allows the coating to be distributed evenly across suitable surfaces, helping create the smooth appearance homeowners generally want from a professionally resprayed kitchen.
Depending on the specification, the finishing system can be built up through multiple coats.
6. Reinstallation
Once the doors and drawer fronts have been completed and have had the appropriate time to dry and cure, they're returned to the kitchen and refitted.
The numbered system helps ensure the components go back where they originally came from.
What Kitchen Cabinets Can Be Sprayed?
The suitability of a kitchen depends on the material and existing finish.
Depending on the individual kitchen, we may be able to spray:
- Kitchen cabinet doors
- Drawer fronts
- End panels
- Fixed cabinet surfaces
- MDF kitchen doors
- Wooden kitchen doors
- Suitable previously painted surfaces
- Suitable vinyl-wrapped doors and drawers
Not every material or condition is suitable for the same treatment, which is why we assess the kitchen before confirming the work.
Kitchen Cabinet Spraying vs Replacing
One of the biggest reasons homeowners consider cabinet spraying is that they don't necessarily want to change their kitchen — they want to change how it looks.
If your existing layout works, your storage is adequate and your worktops are still in good condition, replacing everything could mean paying for components you don't actually need to change.
Cabinet spraying allows you to focus on the most visually prominent part of the kitchen. See our full Kitchen Respray vs New Kitchen comparison →
You could potentially keep your:
Existing kitchen layout
Keep the arrangement you've already got.
Cabinet carcasses
If suitable, there's no need to remove perfectly usable units.
Worktops
Keep them if you're happy with them.
Appliances
There's no reason to replace working appliances simply because you're changing the cabinet colour.
Choose A Completely Different Colour
One of the biggest advantages of kitchen cabinet spraying is the opportunity to change the colour.
A dark kitchen could become lighter and brighter.
An old-fashioned cream kitchen could be given a contemporary neutral finish.
Wood-effect or painted doors can potentially be transformed with a completely different colour, depending on the existing surface.
Popular directions include:
- White and off-white
- Warm neutrals
- Grey
- Green
- Blue
- Taupe
- Dark contemporary shades
The final colour should always be considered alongside your worktops, flooring, walls and other permanent features.

Can Kitchen Cabinets Be Sprayed On Site?
This depends on the project.
Doors and drawer fronts are often removed so they can be professionally prepared and sprayed in a controlled environment.
Fixed cabinet areas and other suitable components may require preparation and spraying at the property.
The exact approach will depend on the kitchen and the scope of the work.
We'll explain the process when assessing your project.

Is Kitchen Cabinet Spraying Right For Your Kitchen?
Cabinet spraying isn't automatically the right solution for every kitchen.
It tends to make the most sense when the existing cabinetry is:
- Structurally sound
- In a layout you're happy with
- Suitable for the proposed coating system
- Worth retaining
If the cabinets are severely damaged, the layout doesn't work or you need substantially different storage, a new kitchen may be the better option.
That's why we assess each project individually rather than promising that every kitchen can be resprayed.

The cost depends on the size and specification of the project.
