What’s Involved
1. Cabinet Type Assessment
We visit and check your cabinet material before recommending an approach. Solid wood, MDF, vinyl-wrapped, and thermofoil each need different preparation and primer systems.
2. Cleaning and Degreasing
Kitchen surfaces accumulate grease that will prevent paint adhesion if left. Every surface is thoroughly degreased before any sanding begins.
3. Sanding and Priming
All cabinet surfaces are sanded to provide a key for the primer. A specialist cabinet primer is applied before any finish coats — shortcutting this stage is the main reason DIY cabinet repaints fail within a year.
4. Finish Coats
Two full finish coats of specialist cabinet paint, applied by spray or brush depending on the surface type. Each coat is inspected before the next goes on.
5. Reassembly and Final Check
Doors and drawer fronts are rehung, hinges adjusted, and handles refitted. We check everything opens and closes correctly before we leave.

Finish Options
Spray Finish
The most durable and visually clean result. A fine-mist respray produces a factory-smooth surface with no brush marks and an even sheen across all cabinet faces.
This is the best choice for contemporary kitchens, high-gloss finishes, and any colour that shows imperfections readily. We spray on-site using portable equipment, with all surrounding surfaces and appliances fully protected.
Brush and Roller Finish
Suitable for period kitchens where a slight hand-applied texture is acceptable or desirable. Some customers prefer this look in older Bath properties, where a perfectly sprayed finish can feel at odds with the character of the space.
A correctly applied brush finish produces an excellent result and is equally durable to a spray finish.
Colour Choices
We can work with any colour from any manufacturer. Farrow and Ball and Little Greene are popular in Bath kitchens, particularly in period properties.
Dulux Trade provides excellent durability at a lower price point. If you have a specific colour in mind, we can match it precisely.
Cabinet Painting Rather Than Replacement
Cost
A new kitchen in a Bath property typically costs between £10,000 and £30,000 once supply, delivery, and installation are factored in.
A professional cabinet painting service for the same kitchen runs from £800 to £2,500. The structural kitchen stays. The look is completely new.
Disruption
A kitchen replacement takes weeks. Cabinet painting takes two to three days. The kitchen is usable each evening.
There is no plumbing work, no electrical work, and no structural alteration.
Quality of Result
When preparation is done correctly and a specialist paint system is used, a professionally repainted kitchen is indistinguishable from a new one in daily use.
The finish is hard, washable, and resistant to knocks and moisture.
Sustainability
Replacing a kitchen sends a significant volume of material to landfill. Repainting extends the useful life of what is already there.
This aligns with the choices many Bath homeowners are already making through interior painting and renovation rather than replacement.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting Costs in Bath
Cost Drivers
Professional kitchen cabinet painting typically costs between £800 and £2,500 for most kitchens. Bath properties at the larger end, or those with island units, can fall above this range.
Call 01225 234445 for a precise quote based on your specific kitchen.
Number of Doors and Drawer Fronts
More doors means more surface area, more masking time, and more coats applied. This is the primary driver of cost.
Current Finish and Condition
Painted solid wood is the easiest surface to work with. MDF takes more preparation but is straightforward.
Vinyl-wrapped or thermofoil doors require a specific bonding primer and extra preparation time.
Small and Medium Kitchens
A small kitchen with 10 to 12 cabinet doors — common in Larkhall, Bear Flat, and similar areas — typically runs from £800 to £1,200.
A medium kitchen with 18 to 24 doors, common in Oldfield Park and Weston, typically runs from £1,200 to £1,800.
Large Kitchens
A large kitchen with 30 or more doors and an island unit — found in Bathwick, Widcombe, and extended properties — typically runs from £1,800 to £2,500+.
These are often solid wood, frequently spray-finished, and involve a larger surface area throughout.
