Transform your kitchen for a fraction of the replacement cost with a showroom-quality finish
Transform your kitchen for a fraction of replacement cost. Professional HVLP spray painting for modern units; artisan hand painting for Plain English, Tom Howley, and in-frame heritage cabinetry.
A full luxury kitchen replacement in London now ranges from £15,000 to £50,000+. Professional kitchen cabinet respraying or artisan hand painting delivers a completely refreshed aesthetic for £1,000–£4,000, depending on size and methodology — roughly 10% of the cost of replacement with zero structural disruption. We offer two distinct methodologies. For contemporary kitchens with MDF and smooth shaker doors, we use high-velocity low-pressure (HVLP) spray technology: all doors and drawer fronts are removed, de-greased, sanded, and spray-painted in a dust-controlled environment to achieve a showroom-quality, perfectly flat factory finish with zero brush marks. For heritage, in-frame, and solid timber kitchens by makers such as Plain English, Mark Wilkinson, Tom Howley, or bespoke cabinet makers, we offer artisan hand painting using specialist furniture brushes and fine-filament rollers, preserving the subtle character and warmth that distinguishes a traditionally crafted kitchen. Fitted joinery outside the kitchen — bathroom vanities, wardrobes, bookcases and study joinery — is covered by our Cabinet Refinishing service.
Each of these is priced after survey and shown as its own line, so the decorating figure stays the decorating figure.

Professional kitchen cabinet respraying in Hampstead is guided at £1,000–£4,000 depending on size, condition, and chosen methodology, against £15,000–£50,000+ for a full luxury kitchen replacement. The transformation is dramatic and takes three days to two weeks, depending on size and method — a small kitchen at the short end, a large or hand-painted one at the long end.
The specification we use most often is one coat of adhesion primer followed by two coats of 2-pack polyurethane satin lacquer, spray-applied with HVLP equipment. A 2-pack lacquer cures chemically rather than simply drying off, which is what gives it the hardness to take fingernails, cleaning products and doors closing against each other several times a day — the property that separates it from an ordinary furniture eggshell beside a hob or a sink. Your colour is matched into the lacquer, so a Farrow & Ball or Little Greene shade is sprayed within the 2-pack system rather than applied as the manufacturer's own emulsion. Our two-year workmanship guarantee covers our labour and application. Materials carry the manufacturer's own warranty.
For contemporary kitchens with smooth MDF or shaker-style doors, HVLP spraying delivers the smoothest, most factory-like finish with zero brush marks. For heritage, in-frame, or solid timber kitchens by makers such as Plain English or Tom Howley, artisan hand painting with specialist furniture brushes preserves the subtle character and warmth that distinguishes traditionally crafted cabinetry.
Yes. We can match any colour from any manufacturer including Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Mylands, Benjamin Moore, and RAL references. We prepare physical sample boards sprayed with your chosen colour and finish for approval in your kitchen's natural light before committing to the full project.
We work across Hampstead Village, Belsize Park, Swiss Cottage, Primrose Hill, Finchley Road, West Hampstead from our Finchley Road base. If your street is not listed, call us — we cover most of NW and N London and will tell you honestly if a job is outside our patch.
Kitchens of every kind, though the cabinetry decides the method rather than the property does. Smooth MDF and shaker doors are removed, labelled and sprayed in a dust-controlled spray environment; in-frame and solid timber kitchens, including bespoke makers such as Plain English and Tom Howley, are hand painted so the character of the joinery survives the repaint.
