A Complete New Look for Your Kitchen
A kitchen makeover in Pudsey 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.
34% of homes around Pudsey centre are terraced, about 4,390 households, so many kitchens are galleys or single runs where colour placement and a lighter worktop make the biggest difference. The figures here cover 13,058 households in the 18 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 Pudsey) | 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 Pudsey kitchens (34% of homes are terraced and 17% are flats), 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 Pudsey, 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 4,390 terraced homes (34%) and 2,260 flats (17%) 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
35% of properties here, about 4,740, 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. Handles are worth deciding at the same time: in Pudsey, where 33% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 18% from 1973 to 1999, most kitchens are later refits whose handles date them, and any old fixing holes are filled before the doors are sprayed.
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 Pudsey's 4,390 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
From our Sheepscar workshop to Pudsey is 7 miles, about 14 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 Pudsey homes means for a makeover
33% of the 13,530 properties around Pudsey 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 4,510 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 2,850 properties, dates from before 1919, so we also expect some older rooms with uneven walls behind the units. Only 15% of properties here, about 1,980, are post-2000, so few kitchens are untouched developer originals.
Room size, islands and scope in Pudsey
Terraced houses are 34% of homes, about 4,390 households, above the 27% average across the towns we cover. Kitchens in those 4,390 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, 14% or about 1,790, are where larger kitchens with islands are more likely.
Who lives here, and what that changes
66% of homes are owner-occupied, about 8,620 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 Pudsey kitchen
- Flats: 17% (about 2,260), the 20th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; we plan stairs, lifts, parking and any managing agent rules.
- Terraced houses: 34% (about 4,390), the 33rd highest share of the 203 towns we cover; galley kitchens, often near the £1,500 starting price.
- 1945 to 1972 properties: 33% (about 4,510), the 34th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; mostly later refits, so we look at the worktops and handles as closely as the doors.
- 1919 to 1939 properties: 14% (about 1,880), the 72nd 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.
- Privately rented homes: 17% (about 2,250), the 86th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; landlords can fit the 3 to 5 days between tenancies.

What does a kitchen makeover in Pudsey 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 33% of properties here, about 4,510, built from 1945 to 1972, most kitchens are later refits whose worktops and handles date them as much as the doors.

Many kitchens here are smaller (34% of homes are terraced and 17% are flats), so the respray part is often close to £1,500, leaving room in the budget for extras.
