What Gets Sprayed in a Kitchen Respray
A standard respray covers every painted face you can see, so nothing is left in the old colour:
- All cabinet doors, any style
- Drawer fronts and pan drawers
- Cabinet frames and face frames
- Exposed end and side panels
- Plinths, cornice and pelmets
- Handleless grip rails and J-pulls
- Handles removed and refitted
In the roughly 700 terraced houses here (39% of homes), the kitchen is often a galley or a rear extension, but boxing-in, plinths and end panels still count as sprayed faces in the quote.
Not included: worktops (see spray granite worktops in Allerton Bywater) and whole-room changes (see a full kitchen makeover in Allerton Bywater).
Kitchen Door Materials We Respray

Type of home
When the homes were built
These figures describe the 1,818 households in the 2 neighbourhoods nearest the centre, so read them as the general picture; we judge your own kitchen on the day.
Kitchen size and layout
39% of homes here are terraced, against 27% across the towns we cover, which is about 700 households. Terraced kitchens tend to be galley runs or rear-extension kitchens with fewer units, so for those 700 homes our £1,500 starting price for up to 10 fronts is often close to the final figure. Semi-detached (42%) and detached (12%) homes make up most of the rest, with more fronts to count, while in a narrow terraced kitchen masking matters more because worktops, splashbacks and the back door are all within a metre or two of the units.
The age of the homes
35% of the 1,920 properties here were built since 2000, well above the 17% average. Next come homes built between 1945 and 1972 at 27% and before 1919 at 18%. Many of those roughly 670 newer houses still have the developer-fitted kitchen: flat slab or simple shaker doors, frequently high-gloss, vinyl-wrapped or laminate. Add the 5% built from 1973 to 1999 and wrap or laminate is a likely door type here; it takes a sprayed finish when sound, but only after the sheen is keyed back and a specialist adhesion primer goes on.
Owners, landlords and tenants
69% of the 1,818 households own their home and 13% rent privately, against averages of 63% and 19%. We respray for both, roughly 1,260 owner households and 240 privately rented ones: owners mostly for a colour change, landlords mostly to bring worn doors back without a refit. A further 15% (about 270 households) rent from a council or housing association, where painting kitchen units normally needs the landlord's written permission first.

How the Respray Works
- Free consultation with spray samples
- Fixed quote within 48 hours
- Degrease, key and fill
- Mask worktops, floors and appliances
- Specialist adhesion primer
- Two HVLP topcoats
- Walk-through inspection with you
Allerton Bywater is about 22 minutes (10 miles) from Sheepscar, so the doors are only a short drive from the spray booth on each day of the respray timeline, and we can come back quickly if a door needs another look.
Workshop and in-place spraying
Doors and drawer fronts are usually collected and sprayed at our workshop in Sheepscar, Leeds, while frames, end panels and plinths are sprayed in place with worktops, floors and appliances masked, and in both places HVLP equipment lays the paint down as a fine, even film with no brush marks; we explain the plan for your kitchen at the consultation.
Colour and sheen
About 670 properties here (35%) were built since 2000, and newer kitchens more often have slab, gloss or handleless fronts, which suit RAL greys and off-blacks, while heritage ranges such as Farrow and Ball suit shaker and in-frame doors.
- Over 175,000 colours via our colour matching service
- RAL, NCS, Farrow and Ball, Little Greene, Dulux
- Spectrophotometer match from a physical sample (tile, fabric, door)
- Satin: most popular, wipes clean
- Matt: shows fingerprints more
- Gloss: shows every ripple beneath
Curing and aftercare
Flats and terraces together are 46% of homes here (7% and 39%), against 42% on average, and small kitchens have less airflow, so we keep a window open or extraction running while the coating cures.
- Hardens further after drying
- Cure time confirmed at handover
- Soft cloth and mild detergent
- No steam cleaners or solvents
- No bleach on the doors
- Fix sink and tap leaks quickly
Steam cleaners, solvents, bleach, impact, heat and water damage are excluded from the 5-year written guarantee; our guide to preparing kitchen cabinets for a respray covers the steps before spraying.

Kitchen Respraying in Allerton Bywater: Questions
How much does kitchen respraying cost in Allerton Bywater?
Kitchen respraying starts from £1,500 for a smaller kitchen with up to 10 door and drawer fronts, and most projects come to £1,800 to £3,500. Flats and terraces are 46% of homes here (7% and 39%), and their smaller kitchens are the ones most likely to be close to the starting price; every price is fixed in writing after a free consultation, with 0% finance over 6 or 12 months available subject to status.
How long does a kitchen respray take?
Most kitchen resprays take 3 to 5 working days and there is no strip-out, so you are not left without a kitchen for weeks as you would be with a refit. Larger kitchens, typical of the 54% of homes here that are detached or semi-detached (about 980 households), take nearer five days, and compact flat or terrace kitchens are usually at the shorter end.
Can a gloss, laminate or vinyl-wrapped kitchen be resprayed?
Yes, if the surface is sound: 40% of the 1,920 properties here were built after 1973, and wrap, laminate and gloss doors are common in kitchens fitted since, so we key back the sheen and use a specialist adhesion primer, and any peeling wrap near the oven or dishwasher is removed before spraying.
How far is Allerton Bywater from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Allerton Bywater is about 10 miles by road, roughly 22 minutes away, to the south-east. We confirm visit dates and anything distance-related in your fixed-price quote before you commit.
What kind of homes do you work on in Allerton Bywater?
All kinds. Around Allerton Bywater centre, the most common home is a semi-detached house (42% of households, Census 2021), and 35% of properties were built since 2000 (VOA, 2025); a kitchen respray works in any of them, and what changes is access, room size and the materials we find.
