At Creative Kitchen Resprays, based in Manchester, we specialise in breathing new life into tired kitchen units, cabinets and doors—giving them a fresh, modern finish for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
In this blog, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the cost of a kitchen respray in the UK, how we price our work, our detailed respray process, frequently asked questions, and why so many customers choose us for their kitchen transformation.
What’s the Average Kitchen Respray Cost in the UK?
How Do We Cost Our Kitchen Respray Service?
Every kitchen respray project is unique, which is why the cost of a kitchen respray depends on several factors, including the size of your kitchen, the number of doors and drawer fronts, the condition of the existing surfaces, and the finish you would like to achieve.
One of the biggest factors is the size of the kitchen. Larger kitchens often provide better overall value because the cost per door and drawer can become more economical compared to replacing your kitchen or installing new doors.
For homeowners looking to transform their kitchen without the disruption and expense of a full renovation, a professional kitchen respray offers an affordable and highly effective alternative. In many cases, a kitchen respray can cost significantly less than a complete kitchen replacement while still delivering a stunning, like-new finish.
Typically on average, a kitchen respray will save you around 75% of the cost of a new kitchen on a like for like basis.
And around half the cost of a kitchen makeover, again on a like for like basis with regards of the quality of the doors and drawers, etc.
Compared to a kitchen makeover involving replacement doors and drawer fronts, a kitchen respray on average will save you around 50%, while retaining the quality, character, and layout of your existing kitchen.
Whether you have a small family kitchen or a large open-plan space, our kitchen respray service is tailored to your individual requirements. We provide a bespoke quotation based on your kitchen’s size, condition, and desired finish, ensuring you receive the best possible value for your investment.

Whether you are spending £2000, £3000 or £4000 compared to the cost of a new kitchen, it’s a major saving against a new or replacement kitchen.
At Creative Kitchen Resprays, we provide tailored quotes based on the specific details of your kitchen. Here’s how we calculate the cost:
-
Number of items to respray: We count all cabinet doors, drawer fronts, end panels, plinths, cornices, and pelmets.
-
Condition & prep work: Kitchens in good condition require less preparation, whereas damage, grease build-up or old vinyl wraps might need more intensive prep.
-
Colour & finish choice: Whether you opt for a solid colour, satin, matte, or gloss finish can influence the price.
-
Additional requests: If you want handles changed, additional units sprayed (like a dresser or island), or colour matching to a specific brand like Farrow & Ball or Little Greene, we factor this into your quote.
-
On-site or off-site spraying: Some parts are sprayed in our workshop for a flawless finish, while others are sprayed on-site—this balance also affects pricing.
We’re always transparent with our pricing and will give you a clear breakdown of costs with no hidden extras.
