Is Kitchen Spraying Worth It? A Homeowner's Guide

We break down the cost, lifespan and visual results of kitchen spraying versus a full replacement.
The cost difference
A typical kitchen respray runs £800–£1,500 depending on size and complexity. A like-for-like replacement of solid-wood or quality MDF units typically starts around £6,000 and rises sharply with worktops and appliances.
When spraying makes sense
If your carcasses and layout still work, and you simply want a new colour or to refresh tired doors, spraying gets you 80–90% of the visual impact at a fraction of the cost.
When to replace instead
If doors are swelling, hinges are failing across the run, or the layout doesn't suit how you live, spraying is putting a premium finish on a base that needs replacing.
