Spray painting a typical UK kitchen usually costs roughly £900–£3,000+, commonly around £800–£1,200 for a small kitchen and up to about £2,800–£3,800 for a large bespoke kitchen before any extras. Per item, a respray often works out at roughly £60–£80 per cabinet door, with drawer fronts usually less. That is typically around a quarter to a third of the price of a brand-new kitchen, which is why so many people respray when the units are still sound but the colour is dated. A professional respray commonly lasts around 5–10 years before it needs attention, depending on the prep, the coating and how the kitchen is used. The honest answer is always a range, because it depends on your number of doors, the finish and the condition of the units.
Most respray guidance is published by companies doing the spraying, so the numbers tend to be optimistic and the lifespan oversold. The pages below give honest cost ranges, compare respray with a new kitchen fairly, explain how long a sprayed finish really lasts, and help you judge whether it is worth it — before you take a single quote.
