What's involved

How Kitchen Cabinet Painting works in Tipton

  1. Degreased and keyed

    01

    The part that decides whether it lasts. Every door cleaned properly and lightly sanded so the primer bonds.

  2. The right primer for the door

    02

    Solid wood, painted MDF and vinyl-wrapped doors all need a different first coat. Foil that is already peeling needs a different answer altogether.

  3. Doors off, carcasses in place

    03

    Doors and drawer fronts done away from the kitchen where possible, frames and end panels painted in place with the room kept usable.

  4. Handles and hinges

    04

    New handles fitted if you are changing them, old holes filled if the new ones use different centres.

  5. Colour sampled

    05

    A test door or panel painted first so you see the colour under your own kitchen lights.

  6. Sprayed or brushed

    06

    A fine brush and roller finish as standard; spraying where the doors and the room suit it.

Plenty of Tipton kitchens are solid and well laid out, just tired or dated in colour. Painting the cabinets changes the whole room without ripping anything out. The finish only lasts if the preparation is right: kitchen doors carry years of grease, and paint put straight onto that peels at the handles within months. Doors come off, are degreased, keyed and primed with a primer made for the surface, whether that is wood, MDF or foil wrap, then painted in a tough cabinet paint.

In Tipton the kitchens we see most are the fitted kitchens that came in with the estates of the 1990s and 2000s: sound carcasses, dated doors. What moves the cost is the number of doors and drawer fronts, whether the frames and end panels are painted too, and what the doors are made of. A photo of the whole kitchen and one of a door edge lets us price it without a visit.

Good to know

Kitchen Cabinet Painting: the answers

Can vinyl-wrapped doors be painted?

If the wrap is sound, yes, with a bonding primer. If it is lifting at the edges, the loose wrap has to come off first or the paint will lift with it.

How long will it take you?

Usually a few days, because each coat needs to harden before the next. You can still use the kitchen for most of that time.

Will it chip?

A proper cabinet paint on a well-prepared door is hard-wearing. Give it a couple of weeks to cure fully before scrubbing it.

Can you paint the worktops too?

No, worktops take too much wear for paint. We can work around new worktops if you are changing them.

Do I need to empty the cupboards?

Only the ones being painted inside. Most jobs leave the cupboards usable throughout.
