How Much Does Kitchen Spraying Cost in the UK?
If your kitchen is structurally sound but looking tired, spraying is almost certainly the cheapest way to transform it. But what does it actually cost? Here's an honest breakdown based on two decades of respraying kitchens across Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire.
The short answer
Most kitchen resprays cost a fraction of replacement — typically 70–80% less than a comparable new kitchen. Where a new fitted kitchen commonly runs to five figures once worktops, appliances, plumbing and fitting are included, spraying your existing units usually costs a small fraction of that.
The exact price depends on your kitchen, which is why reputable sprayers quote per job after seeing it — beware anyone who quotes a fixed price over the phone without asking how many doors you have.
What affects the price
Number of doors and drawers. This is the biggest factor — each door is prepared, primed and sprayed on both sides.
Door condition. Vinyl-wrapped doors that are peeling need more preparation than solid wood in good condition.
Colour choice. Dramatic colour changes (dark to very light, or vice versa) can need an extra coat for full coverage.
Carcasses and end panels. Spraying the visible frames as well as the doors gives a seamless finish, and adds to the cost.
Location and access. Doors are usually taken to a spray facility, so distance matters slightly — being local helps.
Kitchen spraying vs replacement
A new kitchen doesn't just cost money — it costs weeks of disruption: rip-out, plastering, plumbing, electrics, fitting. A sprayed kitchen is typically completed in around 3 days, with no building work at all.
There's also an environmental argument: your existing carcasses stay out of landfill, and a quality kitchen that's still solid gets a second life with a factory-grade finish.
How to get an accurate quote
Any professional sprayer should offer a free survey — photos by WhatsApp are often enough for a ballpark, followed by a fixed written quote. At Goodhall we ask roughly how many doors and drawers you have, the current finish, and where you are, then confirm everything with a survey.
Be wary of quotes that seem too good to be true: proper preparation is most of the work, and skipping it is why cheap resprays peel within a year.
Quick answers
Is kitchen spraying really cheaper than a new kitchen?
Yes — typically 70–80% cheaper than replacement, because you're keeping the carcasses, worktops and layout you already have.
Does the price include the inside of the cabinets?
Usually the visible frames and door interiors are included; full interior spraying can be added if you want every surface colour-matched.
Will a cheap respray last?
Unlikely. Durability comes from preparation and professional coatings — cutting corners on either is the main reason budget resprays fail.
