A Complete New Look for Your Kitchen
A kitchen makeover in Gomersal 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.
26% of homes around Gomersal centre are detached, about 1,340 households, so larger kitchens with islands are common and a two-tone scheme with a contrasting island is often where the plan starts. The figures here cover 5,102 households in the 7 neighbourhoods nearest the centre.

| Worktops | Spray granite over existing tops | One day, then 24-hour cure |
| Tiles and splashback | Sprayed to suit the scheme | Priced after the survey |

With 38% of Gomersal homes semi-detached and 27% of properties built from 1945 to 1972, the usual makeover is a mid-sized respray plus one or two extras, most often the worktops and the handles.
Worktops are done with our spray granite finish in Gomersal, 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
In a mid-sized L or U-shaped kitchen, the usual layout in the 1,950 semi-detached homes here (38%), a deeper base colour under lighter wall units grounds the room without shrinking it, and an island or peninsula is the natural place for the contrast.
Worktops, handles and splashback as one scheme
41% of properties here, about 2,140, were built before 1940, and the worktops in older houses are usually a later laminate or tiled top, both of which 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. Because 41% of Gomersal properties predate 1940, cup handles and knobs often suit the room better than long bars, and changing them while the doors are off lets us fill the old holes 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 a mid-sized kitchen, typical of the 1,950 or so semis in Gomersal, satin is the safe all-round choice, with matt kept for an island or a single feature run.
How the Work Is Sequenced
- Survey, sprayed samples, fixed quote
- Room masked, doors to workshop
- Frames, panels and tiles sprayed

- Walk-through and written guarantee
From our Sheepscar workshop to Gomersal is 9 miles, about 17 minutes by road, so during a makeover we are back on site first thing each day and the worktop day can be fixed for when you need the kitchen least.
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 Gomersal homes means for a makeover
27% of the 5,250 properties around Gomersal centre counted by the VOA were built between 1945 and 1972, close to the 26% average across the towns we cover. Few original kitchens from that period survive, so most of those 1,410 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, 21% or about 1,110 properties, dates from before 1919, so we also expect some older rooms with uneven walls behind the units. Only 14% of properties here, about 730, are post-2000, so few kitchens are untouched developer originals.
Room size, islands and scope in Gomersal
Semi-detached houses are the biggest group at 38%, about 1,950 households, with 22% terraced and 26% detached. A typical kitchen in those 1,950 or so semis is a mid-sized L or U shape, which usually puts the respray part of a makeover in the £1,800 to £3,500 range, with worktops, handles and splashback priced on top in the same quote. The 1,120 or so terraced homes tend to have smaller galley kitchens nearer the £1,500 starting price.
Who lives here, and what that changes
68% of homes are owner-occupied, about 3,440 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 Gomersal kitchen
- 1919 to 1939 properties: 20% (about 1,030), the 24th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; kitchens enlarged in stages often mix materials, so we check that every unit takes the same primer.
- Flats: 14% (about 690), the 42nd highest share of the 203 towns we cover; we plan stairs, lifts, parking and any managing agent rules.
- 1945 to 1972 properties: 27% (about 1,410), the 76th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; mostly later refits, so we look at the worktops and handles as closely as the doors.
- Privately rented homes: 17% (about 860), the 89th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; landlords can fit the 3 to 5 days between tenancies.
- Pre-1919 properties: 21% (about 1,110), the 100th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; we look at how the units meet uneven floors and walls, which is where plinths and scribed panels do the hiding.
