Factory-style respray for kitchen cabinets and UPVC doors and windows
Kitchen and UPVC Spray Painting
Kitchen and UPVC spray painting is a specialist respray process using spray equipment and specific coatings to change the colour or refresh the finish of kitchen cabinet doors or UPVC windows and doors, giving a smooth, even, factory-style result without replacing the units or frames themselves.
Definition
What Spray Painting covers
Spray painting uses fine spray application rather than a brush or roller, giving a smoother, more even finish suited to cabinet doors and UPVC surfaces where brush marks would be visible. Kitchen respraying typically involves removing doors, cleaning and keying the surface, and spraying with a durable specialist coating; UPVC respraying uses a coating specifically formulated to bond to and flex with plastic window and door frames, usually completed in situ.
Suitable for
- Kitchen cabinet doors in sound condition but a dated or worn colour
- UPVC windows, doors or conservatories in good structural condition needing a colour change or refresh
- Customers wanting a lower-cost alternative to replacing kitchen units or window frames
- Properties where a factory-smooth painted finish is wanted rather than a brushed one
Not suitable for
- Kitchen doors or UPVC frames that are damaged, warped or beyond cosmetic repair — these need replacing rather than respraying
- Surfaces with unresolved damp or condensation issues, which will affect coating adhesion and durability
Process
How the work is carried out
- 01
Assessment
Checking the condition of the doors or frames to confirm they're suitable for respraying, and agreeing the colour and finish.
- 02
Preparation
Removing doors where applicable, cleaning, degreasing and keying surfaces so the coating bonds properly.
- 03
Spraying
Applying the specialist coating in a controlled environment (for kitchen doors) or carefully masked in situ (for UPVC), usually as a primer and topcoats.
- 04
Finishing and refitting
Curing, quality-checking the finish, and refitting doors, handles and hardware.
Typical timescale
Kitchen door respraying typically takes a few days to a week depending on the number of doors and curing time between coats; UPVC respraying is usually completed within a day or two per job.
Cost guidance
Kitchen and UPVC spray painting typically costs £300–£1200 per job in our area, with the number of doors or frames, the colour change involved and the coating specified pushing the price toward the top of that range. We provide an itemised quotation after a site visit rather than a fixed headline price.
Limitations and exclusions
- Respraying depends on the existing doors or frames being structurally sound — this is confirmed at assessment
- Colour changes on UPVC may affect heat absorption, which is discussed for dark colour choices
- Hardware such as hinges and handles is refitted as-is unless replacement is separately agreed

FAQs
Spray Painting FAQs
Is spray painting a durable alternative to replacing kitchen doors or window frames?
Used on sound doors or frames with a suitable specialist coating, a respray can last well, though durability depends on the coating used and how the surface is treated day to day. We can talk through the coating specification as part of the quotation.
Can any colour be sprayed onto UPVC?
Most colours are achievable, though very dark colours absorb more heat and are only recommended with coatings and substrates suited to that additional heat load — we advise on this for your specific frames.
Do the doors or windows need to be removed for spraying?
Kitchen cabinet doors are usually removed and sprayed in a controlled space for the best finish. UPVC windows and doors are typically sprayed in situ, with surrounding areas carefully masked.
