Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Ascot

A sprayed finish produces a smooth, factory-quality result that brush or roller technique cannot match on profile doors. The spray system applies an even coat across the full door face, including inside the routed channels.

Each door is degreased, lightly sanded for key, and primed with a specialist cabinet primer before any colour coat. On profile doors common in larger estate kitchens, we sand between every coat with a flexible foam pad that follows the profile rather than cutting through at the arris.

Solid wood doors and MDF doors require different preparation. Solid wood has a grain that must be raised and sanded back. MDF needs a primer that seals the porous board edges, which absorb paint at a different rate to the face.

Applying the same primer to both is the most common cause of inconsistent sheen across a mixed-door kitchen. We specify individually for each surface, giving a consistent finish across the whole kitchen.

A cabinet colour change transforms the space at a fraction of replacement cost. A move from dated cream or honey pine to a contemporary deep green or navy reads immediately across the whole open-plan kitchen-diner.

We advise on colour at the site visit with reference to existing worktop, flooring, and lighting, and recommend a painted sample panel in situ before committing. For a wider kitchen and utility room repaint, see our interior painting page.

Cabinet painting delivers a factory-quality finish for a fraction of the cost of a full kitchen replacement. On a bespoke handmade kitchen where carcasses are sound but the door colour has dated, a repaint refreshes the kitchen and preserves the joinery investment.

Where door faces are warped, delaminating, or structurally compromised, we advise honestly on replacement rather than painting over a surface that will not hold. For a full refit covering decoration across mixed substrates after units, plumbing, and electrics are in, see our kitchen renovation page.

On kitchens where the island unit, larder carcass, or dresser base is a fixed structure, the carcass panels and plinth are as visible as the doors. We include these in scope where the client wants a fully consistent finish.

Painting only the doors and leaving the carcass in its original colour creates a visible mismatch, particularly on an island unit at the centre of an open-plan kitchen. Pair this with a feature wall or wallpapering programme on the same visit.
