Inspecting and planning

From preparation to the final finish
How We Transform Your Kitchen
A successful kitchen transformation isn't just about spraying on a new colour. Below is the typical process, from checking the cupboards to carefully putting everything back together. The precise steps depend on your kitchen and the chosen paint system.
Step 02
Removing doors and protecting the room
Where appropriate, we remove and label doors, handles and drawer fronts. Worktops, floors, appliances and nearby areas are protected before preparation begins.
Step 03
Cleaning, repairing and sanding
Grease and residue are removed, small imperfections are addressed and suitable surfaces are abraded to help the coating adhere. Preparation is essential around handles and cooking areas.
Step 04
Applying the right primer
When the surface and coating system call for it, we apply a compatible primer or adhesion coat. We follow the product's drying and preparation guidance before moving on.
Step 05
Spraying the chosen colour
Suitable components are coated using an appropriate spray process for an even finish. We allow the necessary time between coats and before handling or reassembly.
Step 06
Reassembly and final checks
Once the coating is ready, we refit the painted components, check the finish and explain how to clean and care for your refreshed kitchen while it fully cures.

Kitchen Cupboard Painting FAQs
Here are answers to six questions we often hear from people considering a kitchen cupboard makeover in Luton.
Can you spray paint my existing kitchen cupboards?
Many kitchen doors, drawer fronts and panels can be repainted, but suitability depends on their material, condition and existing finish. Peeling coverings, moisture damage or unstable surfaces may need repair or replacement first. We assess the cupboards before advising you.
Is spray painting cheaper than replacing a kitchen?
Repainting suitable cupboards can cost less than buying and fitting an entirely new kitchen, particularly when your units are sound and you're happy with the layout. The quote depends on the number of doors and panels, preparation needed and finish chosen.
How long does kitchen cupboard spray painting take?
Timescales vary with the size of the kitchen, the amount of preparation, the products used and the drying and curing requirements. We'll give you a realistic schedule before work starts and explain when your cupboards can be used normally again.
Do you spray kitchen cupboards in the house or off-site?
The method depends on the project. Removable doors and drawer fronts can often be prepared and coated separately, while fixed frames and panels may need work in place with suitable masking and protection. We'll explain how your kitchen will be handled.
Can I choose the colour and finish?
Yes. We can discuss colour choices and available sheen levels, subject to the coating system that's suitable for your cupboard material. If you have a particular colour in mind, let us know during the quotation.
How do I look after freshly painted kitchen cupboards?
Fresh coatings need time to cure fully, even when they feel dry. Avoid knocks, harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning during this period. We provide care advice based on the products used, including when normal cleaning can resume.
