Kitchen respray in Cardiff
What a kitchen respray in Cardiff actually involves
Cardiff kitchens are expensive to replace and, in most cases, completely unnecessary to replace. A respray keeps your carcasses, worktops, appliances and layout exactly where they are, and renews only what you actually look at: the doors, drawer fronts, frames, end panels and cornice. The result is a hard, even, sprayed two-pack finish in any colour, delivered in days rather than months.
We work across the whole city, from the Victorian terraces of Pontcanna, Canton and Roath through Penylan, Cyncoed, Llanishen, Whitchurch, Rhiwbina and Radyr, out to the newer developments around Cardiff Bay and St Mellons. Surveys are typically booked within two to three working days and we are contactable around the clock.
Every survey and quote is free and carries no obligation. Pricing is per project and confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
Cardiff property types and the kitchens we see most
Cardiff's inner suburbs are dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces where the kitchen usually sits in a rear extension. Space is tight, ceilings are high and the kitchens themselves are frequently a mix of original in-frame joinery and later fitted units. Spraying is the only realistic way to bring mismatched elements into one consistent colour without a full refit, and it is a large share of what we do in Pontcanna, Canton, Roath and Grangetown.
In Penylan, Cyncoed, Lisvane and Radyr the work shifts to substantial 1930s and post-war detached homes with large shaker or in-frame kitchens, islands, dressers and butler pantries. These are premium finishes where sheen consistency and a dead-flat panel matter, and where two-tone schemes with a contrasting island are close to standard.
Llanishen, Whitchurch, Rhiwbina and Heath bring classic post-war semis with 1990s to 2010s fitted kitchens: gloss slab, vinyl-wrapped and laminate doors that spray extremely well. And around Cardiff Bay, Butetown and the newer city-centre developments we mostly handle apartment kitchens, compact, handleless and often high gloss, where a colour change from builder-white to a graphite or deep green completely resets the space.
Popular kitchen colours in Cardiff
Cardiff's most requested schemes are deep green, navy and inky blue-black on base units with a warm white or bone above, plus graphite grey in apartment kitchens and heritage off-whites in the period terraces.
We match RAL, British Standard and designer references exactly, and we can spray a sample door in your chosen colour and sheen first. In apartments where light is limited we usually recommend a satin over a dead matt.
Our process, step by step
Survey, fixed written quote, colour and sheen sign-off, then a full mask-out with sheeting and film. Doors and fronts come off, are labelled, degreased, keyed and primed with the correct adhesion primer for the substrate, then finished in two-pack topcoats. Frames, cornice, plinths, islands and end panels are sprayed in situ. Everything is refitted, adjusted and the space is cleaned. For apartments and city-centre properties we agree lift access, parking and working hours before the first day.

How much does a kitchen respray cost in Cardiff?
Cardiff kitchen resprays start from £1,200. A Bay apartment kitchen or a compact Canton galley sits near the entry price; a large Cyncoed or Lisvane kitchen with an island, dresser and tall units sits higher.
Even at the top of that range the figure is a small fraction of a comparable Cardiff refit, where units, worktops, fitting, tiling, electrics and making good routinely run into five figures before appliances.
How long does it take?
Two to three days for most Cardiff kitchens, up to five for large detached properties with islands and extensive tall-unit runs. Apartment kitchens are frequently finished inside two days.
