Kitchen Respray in Ireland
A new colour on the doors you have, in one to three days, for a fraction of a new kitchen.
Free, no obligation. One local fitter prices it, not five.
Short answerA kitchen respray costs €700 to €1,000 for a small kitchen and up to €2,000 to €4,500 for a large one with an island. It takes one to three days on site.
What a kitchen respray is
The doors, drawer fronts and end panels are taken away or masked, cleaned, sanded, primed and sprayed in a new colour, then hung back with new or old handles. The carcasses, worktop and layout stay. It's the fastest way to make a kitchen look new.
What it costs
| Job | Typical price | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Respray, small kitchen (up to 10 doors) | €700 to €1,000 | About a day on site. Solid wood, painted wood and most MDF doors take it well. |
| Respray, 10 to 20 doors | €1,250 to €2,000 | One to two days. The number of doors and drawer fronts decides it. |
| Respray, large kitchen with an island | €2,000 to €4,500 | Two to three days. The island's end panels and a tall larder wall add to it. |
Which doors can be resprayed
- Solid wood and painted wood: yes, the best results.
- MDF, painted or vinyl-wrapped: usually, once the wrap is sound and keyed.
- Foil that's peeling or lifting: no. Replace those doors.
- High-gloss acrylic: ask. It needs proper keying and primer.
How long it lasts
A good sprayed finish with a hard-wearing topcoat lasts years in a family kitchen. What shortens it is poor prep: grease left on the doors near the hob, or edges not sealed. Ask the sprayer how they degrease and what topcoat they use.
What it can't fix
A respray changes the colour, not the layout or the worktop. If the carcasses are swollen from a leak or the doors don't close, respraying them is money wasted.

If the units are sound, change what you see: the doors, the colour, the worktop.
