Spray-Painted Doors
Spray finishing gives the smoothest result: brush-mark free and as close to a factory finish as on-site work achieves. Your decorator removes doors and drawer fronts from the carcass, sprays them in a controlled environment, and rehang them when cured.
For Great Malvern spa villas and Battenhall detacheds with generous kitchen spaces, spray is usually the right choice.
Original Victorian and Edwardian Joinery
Original timber joinery in Barbourne terraces and Great Malvern sculleries needs more preparation than modern MDF. Years of accumulated gloss or enamel paint affect adhesion.
Victorian fitted dressers in Barbourne kitchen-diners are worth preserving. These are original to the house and add genuine character to the space.
Farrow & Ball and Little Greene
Malvern homeowners invest in kitchen colour. Your decorator advises on sheen level and on which finishes hold best in a working kitchen environment.
High-Spec Kitchens in Battenhall
Battenhall villas and Great Malvern spa properties sometimes have high-end bespoke timber kitchens installed by previous owners. Your decorator assesses the surface and explain the preparation approach before any work starts.
Cabinet Painting vs Replacement
A 12 to 20-door kitchen painted to a high finish typically costs £950 to £1,500. Replacing an equivalent quality kitchen runs £8,000 to £25,000+. Painting makes sense where carcasses are sound.
Here’s How It Works
1. Site Visit
Your decorator assesses the kitchen: door count, surface type, existing finish condition, sprays access, and adjacent features needing protection. You receive a written quote.
2. Preparation
Doors and drawer fronts are degreased and cleaned. MDF doors are sanded and primed. Solid timber joinery is stripped or heavily sanded before specialist adhesion primer.
3. Spray or Brush Application
Spray-finished doors are removed, sprayed, and rehung when cured. Carcass panels and in-situ elements are brush or roller applied with a fine finish roller.
4. Rehanging and Finishing
Doors are rehung and adjusted for alignment. Hardware is refitted. The kitchen is inspected in good light and touch-ups are completed.
5. Cure Time
Cabinet paint takes two to three weeks to reach full hardness. Your decorator advises on care during the cure period.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting Costs in Worcester
Prices below are estimates only. Every kitchen is different.
Door Count
A 12-door kitchen costs less than a 24-door kitchen. Your decorator counts all surfaces including drawer fronts, carcass panels, and larder units in the quote.
Surface Type
Modern MDF doors in good condition are the simplest preparation. Original Victorian timber joinery with accumulated paint layers takes significantly longer.
Finish Specification
Standard trade paint costs less than Farrow & Ball full gloss. Spray finishing adds time and consumables. Premium colour and spray application each add cost.
Typical Ranges
Standard 12-door kitchen, Barbourne: £950 to £1,500. Larger kitchen, Battenhall or Great Malvern (original timber joinery): £1,500 to £2,500. Droitwich Spa mock-Tudor kitchen: £1,200 to £2,000.
