A Complete New Look for Your Kitchen
A kitchen makeover in Featherstone changes the whole look of the room while keeping your units, layout, sink and appliances, from £1,500 and in 3 to 5 working days, with a 5-year written guarantee. We respray the doors, drawer fronts, frames and end panels, then add the parts you choose: spray granite over tired worktops, sprayed tiles and splashback, new handles fitted while the doors are off, an island or dresser in a contrast colour, and the walls, ceiling and woodwork decorated to finish the room, each part priced as its own line on one fixed quote.
36% of homes around Featherstone centre are terraced, about 2,150 households, so many kitchens are galleys or single runs where colour placement and a lighter worktop make the biggest difference. The figures here cover 6,008 households in the 8 neighbourhoods nearest the centre.

What a Makeover Changes, and What Stays
| Part of the kitchen | What we do | Time and price |
|---|---|---|
| Doors, drawers, frames, end panels | Primer, then two HVLP topcoats | The core; from £1,500 |
| Plinths, cornices and pelmets | Sprayed in the new colour | Where the kitchen has them |
| Worktops | Spray granite over existing tops | One day, then 24-hour cure |
| Tiles and splashback | Sprayed to suit the scheme | Priced after the survey |
| Handles and hardware | Swapped while doors are off | Priced after the survey |
| Walls, ceiling and woodwork | Decorated last (interior spraying in Featherstone) | Priced after the survey |
| Islands, dressers, tables, chairs | Sprayed to match or contrast | Priced after the survey |
| Carcasses, layout, sink, appliances | Stay where they are | No strip-out or plumbing |
In smaller Featherstone kitchens (36% of homes are terraced), the respray core is often close to the £1,500 starting price, which leaves more of the budget for worktops and handles.
Worktops are done with our spray granite finish in Featherstone, which goes over laminate, tile, MDF and solid tops in place, whereas new granite or quartz has to be templated, cut and fitted, and the old top taken out, which usually means making good the walls and tiles around it as well; the coating avoids all of that, and like every extra it is priced as its own line on your quote.
Planning the Colour Scheme
Two-tone and island contrast
Where kitchens are smaller, as in many of the 2,150 terraced homes (36%) here, a deeper colour on the base units under lighter wall units keeps the room open, and a single feature run can carry a contrast colour without an island.
Worktops, handles and splashback as one scheme
40% of properties here were built after 1972, about 2,540, and the laminate worktops typical of kitchens from those decades take spray granite well; we bring physical samples of the door colour, the stone-effect finishes and handle options so you can see them together in your own light. With 22% of Featherstone properties built since 2000, against a 17% average, many kitchens share the same stainless bar handles, so a change of handle does as much as the colour; if the new ones need different holes, we fill the old ones before spraying.
Finish and colour range
Satin is the most requested topcoat because it wipes clean and suits traditional and modern kitchens alike, matt is striking on deep greens and dark greys, and gloss suits handleless designs; we can match any of more than 175,000 colours across RAL, Farrow and Ball, Little Greene and Dulux Trade, or a sample you bring, using spectrophotometer matching. In the smaller kitchens of Featherstone's 2,150 or so terraced houses, a satin or gloss finish on lighter units reflects more light than matt, which helps a galley feel wider.
How the Work Is Sequenced
- Survey, sprayed samples, fixed quote
- Room masked, doors to workshop
- Frames, panels and tiles sprayed
- Spray granite worktops, 24-hour cure
- Walls, ceiling, woodwork decorated last
- Doors refitted with new handles
- Walk-through and written guarantee
Featherstone is 16 miles, about 25 minutes by road from our workshop, so we book the days of a makeover back to back and time the worktop coating so most of its 24-hour cure falls overnight.
Living at home during the makeover
There is no strip-out, so you avoid the weeks without a kitchen that a refit involves; the doors and drawer fronts usually go to our Sheepscar workshop for spraying, leaving the cupboards open for a few days, so it helps to empty them and clear the worktops before we start, and the one real pause is the 24 hours the worktops need after coating. Decorating comes last so nothing new gets marked, and the exact order depends on what you include.

When the homes were built
What the age of Featherstone homes means for a makeover
31% of the 6,430 properties around Featherstone centre counted by the VOA were built between 1945 and 1972, above the 26% average across the towns we cover. Few original kitchens from that period survive, so most of those 2,000 or so houses are on a second or third kitchen, often with sound carcasses and doors or worktops in finishes that date it, which is where a makeover gives the most for the money. The next largest group, 22% or about 1,410 properties, dates from 2000 or later, usually with developer-fitted gloss or slab kitchens.
Room size, islands and scope in Featherstone
Terraced houses are 36% of homes, about 2,150 households, above the 27% average across the towns we cover. Kitchens in those 2,150 or so terraces are usually a narrow galley or a single run along one wall, often with ten or fewer fronts, which is where the from £1,500 price applies and more of the budget can go on worktops and handles. Detached houses, 17% or about 1,020, are where larger kitchens with islands are more likely.
Who lives here, and what that changes
24% of homes, about 1,430, are socially rented, and tenants of the council or a housing association need the landlord's written permission before changes to a kitchen. 60% of homes are owner-occupied, about 3,610 households, close to the 63% average across the towns we cover; owners planning to stay tend to treat a makeover as a long-term choice, and the 5-year written guarantee covers peeling, flaking and adhesion failure caused by our workmanship.
What we check first in a Featherstone kitchen
- Terraced houses: 36% (about 2,150), the 26th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; galley kitchens, often near the £1,500 starting price.
- Post-2000 properties: 22% (about 1,410), the 43rd highest share of the 203 towns we cover; developer laminate worktops are good candidates for spray granite.
- 1945 to 1972 properties: 31% (about 2,000), the 45th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; mostly later refits, so we look at the worktops and handles as closely as the doors.

Kitchen Makeover in Featherstone: Questions
What does a kitchen makeover in Featherstone include?
A respray of every door, drawer front, frame and end panel, plus the parts you choose: plinths, cornices and pelmets in the new colour, spray granite over the worktops, sprayed tiles and splashback, new handles, an island or dresser sprayed to match or contrast, and the walls, ceiling and woodwork decorated last, each priced as its own line on one fixed quote. With 31% of properties here, about 2,000, built from 1945 to 1972, most kitchens are later refits whose worktops and handles date them as much as the doors.

Makeovers start from £1,500, which covers the respray of a smaller kitchen with up to 10 doors and drawer fronts, and most respray work falls between £1,800 and £3,500; worktops, tiles, handles and decorating are priced as separate lines on the same fixed written quote after a free survey, and finance may be available, subject to status. Many kitchens here are smaller (36% of homes are terraced), so the respray part is often close to £1,500, leaving room in the budget for extras.
