Clear answers for your kitchen respray.

The timescale depends on the kitchen’s condition and any repairs needed, as well as the number of doors and drawers. Intricate details and pull-out sections can take longer to dismantle, prepare, spray and refit. During the quotation visit, we assess each part of the job and give you a realistic timescale.

Every kitchen is different, so each project is priced individually. At the in-person quotation, we carefully assess the kitchen’s size and layout, the number of doors and drawers, how intricate the design is, and the time needed to dismantle and refit its components. We also consider the preparation required, including degreasing, filling, resin repairs and filling old handle holes if you’re changing the handles. We use these details to prepare a competitive, fair quotation that reflects the time and preparation involved and the quality of finish we provide.

We isolate the kitchen from adjoining rooms with a temporary plastic dust barrier to help limit the spread of dust. Floors, worktops and anything not being sprayed are covered and masked for protection. During spraying, we use an extraction fan and ducting vented through a window, with a filter to capture overspray before air is discharged outside. We also run an air scrubber in the kitchen to help filter airborne particles. These measures help control dust and overspray while we work. We keep the work area tidy and clean up at the end of each day, then remove the protective coverings when the job is complete.

Before each spray session, we mask and protect appliances and surfaces such as the fridge, oven, microwave, dishwasher and sink. Appliances in the active spray area can’t be used while spraying is underway or while the filtration system clears the air. If you’re at home, we’ll give you around 20 minutes’ notice so you can use anything you need beforehand. Once the air has cleared and the area is ready, you can use the protected appliances again while we continue with sanding or other preparation. Access may be limited briefly during spraying, but we make the kitchen’s appliances available again at the end of each working day.

Most kitchen cabinets can be sprayed, but the preparation depends on the material and its existing finish. Painted, varnished and natural-wood surfaces each need suitable preparation and a coating system selected for the surface. For wrapped doors, we assess the wrap and, where needed, remove it and prepare the MDF or timber beneath for spraying. During the site visit, we’ll confirm the right process for your kitchen.

We use Sayerlack Italian wood coatings in a 1K waterborne system, with primer and topcoat selected for the surface. Waterborne formulations can reduce solvent use compared with solvent-borne alternatives, and a 1K system does not require a separate hardener to be mixed on site. The finish depends on choosing the right products and preparing and applying them correctly, so we follow the technical guidance for the system used on your project.

A finish may feel dry before it has fully cured. The drying and cure guidance depends on the Sayerlack products used, so we’ll give you the product-specific time and care instructions at handover. Until that period has passed, keep the surface dry and avoid cleaning, rubbing or placing items against it. Once cured, use a soft, non-abrasive cloth lightly dampened with clean water. If needed, use a small amount of mild, non-abrasive detergent diluted in water, then wipe away residue and dry the surface. Avoid scouring pads, abrasive or cream cleaners, bleach, ammonia, solvents, strong degreasers and steam cleaners. Wipe spills promptly and don’t leave water standing on the finish.
