If you’re researching the cost of a kitchen respray in Cardiff or South Wales, you’ve probably seen prices ranging from a few hundred pounds to several thousand.
The reality is that pricing varies widely depending on the level of preparation, materials used, and whether the work is completed using professional spray systems.
So what does a professional, workshop-based kitchen respray cost in 2026?
Across our recent projects in South Wales, most kitchens typically fall between £2,500 and £8,000+, depending on size, condition and specification.
Smaller kitchens or utility spaces may fall below this range, while larger kitchens, island layouts or projects with more detailed joinery can exceed it.
Below, we explain what affects pricing and what you’re paying for.
Typical Kitchen Respray Price Ranges
Typical Kitchen Respray Price Ranges Using data from our recent projects across Cardiff and South Wales:
Smaller kitchens £2,500 – £3,200
Compact layouts with fewer doors and simpler door styles.
Mid-size kitchens (most common) £3,200 – £4,500
Typical family kitchens with standard door counts and full colour changes.
Larger kitchens or those with islands and additional cabinetry
£4,500 – £8,000+ Extended cabinetry, islands, decorative mouldings or more complex layouts.
Every quotation is tailored to the individual kitchen. Factors such as door style, mouldings, substrate type, surface condition and preparation requirements can all influence the final cost.
What Influences the Cost of a Kitchen Respray?
Every kitchen is different. Pricing is influenced by:
1. Number of Doors & Drawers
More components mean more preparation, priming and finishing time.
2. Island Inclusion
Islands add significant surface area — particularly if they include end panels or shelving.
3. Surface Condition
Previously brush-painted cabinetry, peeling vinyl or damage increases preparation time. Most failed resprays come down to poor preparation — something we never compromise on.
4. Workshop-Based Spraying
At Bespoke Spray Studio, doors and drawers are removed and sprayed in our dedicated workshop using professional extraction and controlled drying conditions. This produces a more consistent and durable finish than fully on-site spraying. Read more about our our dedicated workshop here.
5. Professional Coating Systems
We use specialist two-part coatings designed for high-use environments — very different from retail cabinet paints.
6. Colour & Specification
Two-tone schemes or bold colour changes may require additional build coats.
Kitchen Respray vs Replacement
A full kitchen replacement in Cardiff or South Wales often ranges from £20,000 to £40,000+ once cabinetry, fitting and associated trades are factored in.
By comparison, a professional respray is typically a fraction of that cost, while delivering a complete visual transformation with significantly less disruption.
If your cabinetry is structurally sound and the layout works, respraying is often the more practical investment.
Why Are Some Quotes Cheaper?
You may see quotes below £2,000.
Lower pricing often reflects:
On-site-only spraying
Retail-grade paints
Limited surface preparation
No workshop facility
No controlled curing space
Durability depends heavily on preparation and coating system.
