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. If you're comparing kitchen respray near me options, look for full prep, 2K coatings and a written guarantee rather than the cheapest headline price.
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.
