Wardrobe Spraying Costs UK
What Does It Really Cost in 2026?

By Goodhall Spraying Specialists · Grimsby, Lincolnshire · Updated November 2026

Fitted wardrobes are the most expensive thing in a bedroom to get wrong — and the most common thing homeowners want changed. Whether it's dated mahogany, 90s oak laminate or a colour you inherited with the house, spraying is almost always the smart route. But what does it actually cost?

Here's the honest 2026 picture, based on the wardrobe jobs we complete every week across Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire.

Wardrobe spraying prices at a glance

• Per door — £50–£150, depending on size, detail and finish
• Typical 6–8 door run — £400–£900 all-in, including preparation, spraying and refitting
• Sliding wardrobe doors — usually the cheapest per metre, as they're large flat panels
• Framed, mirrored or detailed doors — towards the upper end, due to masking and finishing time
• Interior colour — can be included; a popular upgrade is a contrast interior in a soft neutral

Every quote is fixed and free — send photos of your wardrobes on WhatsApp and you'll have a real number the same day, usually within the hour.

What affects the price?

1. The number of doors and panels. Wardrobe pricing is driven mostly by surface area. A two-door freestanding wardrobe is a small job; a five-metre fitted wall with ten doors and drawer fronts is a proper project.

2. The existing surface. Sound laminate, wood and previously painted surfaces all spray well. Anything failing or previously painted badly needs corrective preparation — like a recent Immingham window we rescued where a previous painter's coating was flaking off. We tell you honestly at the survey if that's your situation.

3. The colour and finish. Any colour from Farrow & Ball, Lick, Little Greene, Dulux Heritage or the RAL range is included as standard — there's no premium for heritage shades. Satin is the most popular finish for bedrooms; a higher-sheen option is available for furniture that takes daily wear.

4. The location and access. Our core coverage is Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire. Jobs further afield may carry a modest travel element — we'll always tell you in the quote, never as a surprise.

Spraying vs replacing: the maths nobody shows you

New fitted wardrobes for a full wall typically run £2,000–£5,000+ once measuring, manufacture and fitting are counted — and your bedroom is a building site for a week or more. Spraying the same units usually costs £400–£900 and takes around 2–3 days, with doors sprayed off-site while your room stays usable.

That's a saving of 70–85% — and the carcasses, hinges and layout you already know and like all stay exactly where they are. See the full comparison in our spraying vs replacing guide.

How the job actually runs
