What a Kitchen Respray in Dunnington Costs and Involves
Kitchen respraying in Dunnington means spray painting your existing cabinet doors, drawer fronts, frames and end panels in a new colour without a strip-out, from £1,500 for a smaller kitchen of up to 10 door and drawer fronts, with most projects at £1,800 to £3,500.
Dunnington is 28 miles from our Sheepscar workshop, about 40 minutes by road, so we fit consultations here around other visits to the north-east, and the respray itself takes 3 to 5 working days with no strip-out, so you are not left without a kitchen for weeks, and a 5-year written guarantee on the coating.

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
Detached and semi-detached houses are 89% of homes here, about 1,390 households, and in those kitchens we often add islands, peninsulas and tall larder units to the list; they are sprayed the same way and counted in the quote.
Not included: worktops (see spray granite worktops in Dunnington) and whole-room changes (see a full kitchen makeover in Dunnington).

With homes here spread across every period (12% before 1919, 38% after 1973), we find every door type on this list, so we test the surface at the consultation rather than assume (more in our cabinet materials guide).

Type of home
When the homes were built
These figures describe the 1,565 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
With 60% of homes detached (well above the 20% average) and 28% semi-detached, larger kitchens are common here: islands, peninsulas, full-height larder units and long runs of wall cabinets. Only 11% are terraces or flats (about 165 households, against an average share of 42%), the homes where kitchens are most often compact enough to stay near the £1,500 starting price. More fronts, end panels and plinths are what move a quote from £1,500 towards the £1,800 to £3,500 range, so in a town where roughly 950 households live in detached houses, expect the consultation to involve some counting, and a second colour on an island adds to the price.
The age of the homes
32% of the 1,620 properties here date from 1973 to 1999, well above the 19% average. Next come homes built between 1945 and 1972 at 45% and before 1919 at 12%. Most of those roughly 520 houses are on their second or third kitchen, and the replacements fitted from the 1990s onwards were often vinyl-wrapped MDF or laminate. With another 6% built since 2000, roughly 90 houses, wrap and laminate doors are likely here, so we check wrap edges around the oven, hob and dishwasher first, because heat and steam lift them there before anywhere else.
Owners, landlords and tenants
84% of households own their home, above the 63% average, roughly 1,310 of 1,565. Owners tend to treat a respray as a long-term choice, so colour matters more than speed; with only 10% renting privately and 6% renting from a council or housing association, owners are most of the households here.

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
Dunnington is about 40 minutes (28 miles) from Sheepscar, close enough for us to collect the doors, come back to spray the frames and refit within the 3 to 5 days set out in our day-by-day respray timeline.
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 90 properties here (6%) 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
Only 11% of homes here are flats or terraces (4% and 7%), so most kitchens are a reasonable size and cure evenly with a window open; in a small or windowless kitchen we run extraction as well.
- 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 Dunnington: Questions
How much does kitchen respraying cost in Dunnington?
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. Detached homes are 60% of the housing here, about 950 households, and their larger kitchens with islands or tall units tend to sit towards the top of that range; 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. Smaller kitchens, typical of the 11% of homes here that are flats or terraces (about 165 households), are usually at the shorter end, and larger kitchens with islands take nearer five days.
Can a gloss, laminate or vinyl-wrapped kitchen be resprayed?
Yes, if the surface is sound: 38% of the 1,620 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 Dunnington from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Dunnington is about 28 miles by road, roughly 40 minutes away, to the north-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 Dunnington?
All kinds. Around Dunnington centre, the most common home is a detached house (60% of households, Census 2021), and 45% of properties were built between 1945 and 1972 (VOA, 2025); a kitchen respray works in any of them, and what changes is access, room size and the materials we find.
