Key Questions to Ask Before You Hire Kitchen Painting Contractors

When you decide to respray your kitchen cabinets, one key choice is picking the right painting contractor. The right choice guarantees results that you will love. 

You can ask these 5 questions to determine if a kitchen painting contractor is right for you:

  1. How much experience do you have with kitchen respraying?
  2. What type of paint and coatings will you use?
  3. How long will the process take and how long before I can use my kitchen again?
  4. Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
  5. Can I see before-and-after examples or read customer reviews?

"Check reviews and before-and-after photos from past customers. This gives you accurate information. You can see if the service and results others received are what you want. Many of our customers have shared their positive experience with us. See why The Spraying Company is a trusted kitchen painting contractor on Trustpilot. You can trust us to transform your kitchen affordably."

What Prep do you Need to Do for Kitchen Painting Contractors

When you hire a professional kitchen painting contractor there is no need to prep. You can leave your kitchen as it is. However, removing your counter top appliances (kettles, toasters) and storing them somewhere safe is always helpful.

The professional kitchen spray painters handle the rest. They will prepare your cabinets by removing any flaws and grease. This will create a clean surface for your new colour. Our thorough prep process ensures a flawless finish that lasts

What to Expect on the Day

On the day of your kitchen respray you don’t need to worry about anything. All you have to do is agree on a date and time and the professional kitchen spray painters will handle everything. 

First, someone will remove and prep your kitchen cabinets and drawers for spraying. The prep process involves cleaning and sanding to remove imperfections and grease.

We will then respray your cabinets in our on-site spraying booth. Once the paint has dried we will apply a protective coat and then we will refit your kitchen.

Paint Drying and Curing Times

Resprayed kitchen cabinets feel dry to the touch after 1-8 hours. However, they need 24-72 hours to fully dry before we recommend you to start using your kitchen again.

We also recommend gentle use for the first one to two weeks and avoid harsh cleaning products during this period.

Red Flags to Watch Out For

Not all kitchen painting contractors can be trusted to deliver a quality kitchen transformation. There are some kitchen painting contractor red flags to look out for when choosing who to trust to transform your kitchen. 

Signs not to trust a kitchen painting contractor: 

  • They have no clear prep process or product details.
  • They don’t give you a written quote or guarantee.
  • Their prices seem too good to be true.
  • They have no or limited reviews and before and after photos

At The Spraying Company, our preparation process is what ensures a high quality, long lasting finish. We always provide a clear, transparent free quote, so you know exactly what to expect from the start of your project

If you decide to proceed with kitchen spraying, all our projects come with a two-year workmanship guarantee. This is for your peace of mind.

How Much Should You Pay For Kitchen Spraying

On average, a kitchen transformation costs around £3,000, although this will vary depending on the size of your kitchen. While this is significantly more affordable than a full kitchen replacement, we understand it’s still a significant investment.

That investment reflects the quality of our preparation, premium quality paints, and skilled workmanship. Be careful of kitchen painting contractors who offer extremely low prices. These savings can lead to poor durability, finish quality, and long-term results.
