What’s Involved
Cabinet repainting begins with identifying the unit material, construction, existing finish, damage and components included.
Cabinet Materials and Condition
Cabinet material and construction affect whether repainting is suitable. The assessment covers doors, drawer fronts, fixed frames, end panels and any areas that should be excluded.
Cleaning and Degreasing
Contamination and cleaning requirements are assessed for the cabinet material and selected coating. Abrasion is used only where the system and surface call for it.
Sanding, Priming, and Finish Coats
Sanding, primer and finish coats are specified after the decorator identifies the cabinet material and tests the existing surface where necessary. Product instructions set the preparation and recoating requirements.
Reassembly and Final Check
Rehanging, handle refitting and any hinge adjustment are included only where recorded in the quotation.
At reassembly, doors and drawer fronts are returned to their agreed positions and accessible hinges or handles are checked. Any hardware adjustment or replacement must be agreed separately.
Finish Options
Sheen and colour are considered alongside the cabinet material, existing coating and expected cleaning. The selected finish must be compatible with the full preparation system.
Spray Finish
Colour and finish options for spray finish are discussed after the existing cabinet doors and frames and selected product information are reviewed.
Brush and Roller Finish
Brush or roller application is considered against cabinet material, detail, site setup and the selected coating instructions.
Colour Choices
Colour options are reviewed against the cabinet material, starting colour, room lighting and the selected product range. Related services: home office painting.
Your decorator advises on the best finish for your kitchen style and cabinet material at the initial visit.

Why Cabinet Painting Rather Than Replacement
This is the question most clients are weighing when they call.
Cost
The quote counts the doors and drawer fronts and lists fixed frames, end panels and plinths separately, so the included cabinet surfaces are clear.
Disruption and Quality
Cabinet-painting timing depends on the number, material and condition of the units, the preparation required and the selected system. A repainted finish differs from new cabinetry, and your decorator explains the proposed appearance and limitations before quoting. For wall and ceiling work in the same room, see our interior painting service.
Sustainability
Repainting suitable existing units may retain usable materials, but it is not presented as equivalent to replacement.
The Process
1. Site Assessment
Your decorator visits your property and assesses the cabinets with you. They note the door and frame materials, existing coatings, areas needing preparation or repair, and access requirements.
2. Scope and Quotation
The cabinet quote counts removable doors and drawer fronts and lists frames, end panels, plinths and other fixed parts separately. Preparation, finish, handling and exclusions are recorded.
3. Scheduled Work
Your decorator agrees a start date and a sequence for the work. The agreed protection is then put in place around the kitchen. Cabinet components are prepared and finished in the order set out for the job.
4. Final Walkthrough
You review the coated cabinet faces and fixed sections with your decorator after reassembly. Any agreed checks on accessible hardware are completed then.
