Is Kitchen Spraying Better Than Replacing the Doors?

Respray or replace? The pros, cons and rough costs of transforming a tired kitchen.

Kitchens · 4 min read

If your kitchen units are solid but the doors look dated, you have two main options: replace the doors, or respray them. Here's how they compare.

Respraying

The units, worktops and layout stay put; the doors, drawers and frames are cleaned, primed and sprayed in any colour with a smooth, hard-wearing lacquer. It's typically far cheaper than replacement, creates almost no disruption to the room, and lets you change the colour completely.

Replacing the doors

New doors can be worthwhile if the existing ones are damaged, warped or an awkward non-standard size. But they cost more, need to be ordered and fitted, and you're limited to available styles and colours.

Rule of thumb: if the units are sound and you mainly want a fresh look or colour, respraying usually wins on cost and result. If the doors themselves are failing, replacement may be the better call.

Roughly what does it cost?

As a guide, respraying is often a fraction of a full kitchen replacement — you keep everything that works and just transform the look. We'll give you a fixed written price for your specific kitchen.
