Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Leicester

Leicester Decorators provide kitchen cabinet painting in Leicester, covering spray-finish and brush-and-roller projects across the city’s southern suburbs.
A well-made kitchen fitted 10 to 15 years ago often has a structurally sound carcass but a tired finish. Respraying the cabinet doors and frames gives a result that reads as new at a fraction of replacement cost.

Spray-Finished Cabinet Doors
A spray finish produces an even, factory-quality surface free from brush marks and roller texture. On-site spraying requires full masking of every surface. Stone worktops, tiled splashbacks, appliances, and flooring are all protected.
The alternative is off-site spraying: doors removed, sprayed in a workshop environment, and rehung. Off-site produces a more controlled result and is particularly suited to larger kitchens.
Solid Wood and MDF Fronts
MDF-fronted cabinets are common in fitted kitchens installed in the 1990s through to the 2010s. MDF must be primed correctly. Cut edges are particularly absorbent and need sealing individually. Solid wood fronts have grain that can telegraph through a spray finish if not properly filled.
Two-Tone Colour Specifications
Two-tone kitchens are increasingly common in Stoneygate and Knighton properties. We have completed two-tone projects in Farrow and Ball and Little Greene palettes. We advise on colour pairings at survey stage.
Cabinet Painting vs Replacement
Replacement kitchens cost £8,000 to £25,000 or more. Cabinet painting costs £900 to £2,800 for most residential kitchens. A properly sprayed finish is as durable as a factory finish. For associated interior painting of walls and ceilings, we cover that separately.


Here’s How It Works
1. Survey and Specification
We assess the kitchen, check cabinet material and condition, and agree the colour specification.
2. Preparation
Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are removed. Hinges are labelled and stored. Frames are cleaned, degreased, and sanded.
3. Priming
Every surface gets the correct primer for its material. MDF cut edges get additional coats to seal the surface.
4. Spray Finish
Two topcoats are applied. Each coat is allowed to cure fully. We inspect in raking light after each coat.
5. Rehang and Clean-Up
Doors and drawer fronts are rehung and adjusted. Masking is removed and all surfaces cleaned.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting Costs in Leicester
Kitchen cabinet painting costs depend on the number of doors and drawer fronts, the material, and the condition of the existing finish.

What Drives the Price
Number of doors and drawer fronts, material condition, and on-site versus off-site spraying are the three main cost factors.
Typical Ranges
Standard family kitchen (10 to 15 doors): £900 to £1,800. Larger kitchen with island, Oadby detached: £1,600 to £2,800. High-specification spray, off-site: £2,000 to £3,200.
Trade Insight
Kitchen cabinet grease builds up around handles and at face-frame junctions. This must be fully degreased before primer goes on. Call 0116 493 0990 for a written quote.
