Kitchen Spraying in Leeds, Including the uPVC Windows and Doors

Illustrative stock photo. This is not a ColourHaus project.

Yes, a Leeds kitchen can be resprayed and its uPVC windows, back door or French doors sprayed to match in the same job. Kitchen respraying starts from £1,500 and most kitchens take 3 to 5 working days, with a 5-year written guarantee on the coating. uPVC windows cost £80 to £150 each and uPVC doors £200 to £350, sprayed with Kolorbond-certified coatings and covered by a 10-year guarantee. We work from our workshop in Sheepscar, Leeds LS7, so a survey anywhere in the city is easy to arrange.

Why Do Both at Once?

In many kitchens the window frame and back door are the biggest areas of white plastic in the room. Once the units change colour, an old white or yellowed frame can stand out. Spraying the frames in the same colour as the units, or in a colour that suits them, finishes the room off, and doing it in one job means one survey, one quote and one schedule.

“ColourHaus provided an exceptional service from start to finish. We had our kitchen cabinets sprayed plus a couple of uPVC windows. The cabinets look brand new.”

How the Kitchen Part Works

1. Survey and samples. We count the doors, drawer fronts, frames and end panels, check the materials and bring sprayed samples. You get a fixed-price written quote within 48 hours.
2. Collection. Doors and drawer fronts are numbered, removed and usually taken to our Sheepscar workshop to be sprayed.
3. Preparation. Every surface is degreased, sanded and primed. This is what makes the finish last.
4. Spraying. Doors and drawer fronts get two topcoats at the workshop. Frames, end panels and plinths are sprayed in place with worktops, floors and appliances masked.
5. Rehanging and sign-off. Doors go back in their original positions, hinges are adjusted, handles fitted, and we walk round the kitchen with you.

Your units, worktops, sink and appliances stay in place, so there is no strip-out. On the days the frames are sprayed the kitchen is masked off, so plan simple meals for those days. Our kitchen respray timeline shows what happens day by day, and the kitchen respraying service page has the full details.

How the uPVC Part Works

uPVC needs a different system from kitchen doors. Ordinary paint does not bond well to it, so the frames are cleaned and degreased, then sprayed with Kolorbond-certified coatings made for uPVC. That is what allows us to give a 10-year guarantee on uPVC, backed by the manufacturer for colour stability and adhesion. The glass, seals and hardware are masked, and the frames stay in place, so the house stays secure throughout. Most uPVC work takes one to two days.

Inside the kitchen, that usually means the window frame and sill, a uPVC back door or French doors, and sometimes a uPVC panel or boxing. If the outside of the same windows needs doing too, the whole frame can be sprayed. See our uPVC spray painting service for prices on whole-house packages, and our guide on whether uPVC spray painting is worth it.

What Suits Leeds Kitchens

Leeds has a wide mix of housing, and the kitchens in it tend to fall into a few types:

• Victorian and Edwardian terraces, in areas such as Headingley, Hyde Park and Chapel Allerton, often have compact galley or through kitchens where the units are sound but the doors look dated. A lighter colour can make a narrow kitchen feel bigger.
• Inter-war and post-war semis, in areas such as Roundhay, Moortown and Horsforth, often have larger kitchens with oak or cream doors fitted 15 or 20 years ago. Respraying them in a modern colour changes the room without a refit.
• Newer homes and flats across the city often have budget white or grey kitchens and white uPVC throughout, which is exactly the combination that benefits from doing units and frames together.

In each case the question we ask at the survey is the same: are the units sound? If they are, respraying is usually the better value. If they are not, we will tell you. Our new kitchen or respray page explains how a new fitted kitchen, typically £10,000 to £30,000 and 4 to 8 weeks, compares.

Common Colour Changes

• Oak to dark grey, green or navy. Open-grain oak can show some texture through the finish unless the grain is filled first, which we discuss at the survey.
• Cream to white or off-white, which brightens a darker terrace kitchen.
• Gloss white to a deeper colour such as anthracite or sage, with the window frame sprayed to suit.

We bring sprayed samples so you can see the colour in your own kitchen light before you commit. Our RAL colour guide for kitchens covers the shades people ask about most.
