What a Kitchen Respray in Filey Costs and Involves
Kitchen respraying in Filey 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.
At 67 road miles and about 1 hour 33 minutes from Leeds, Filey is towards the far side of our area, so we fix the consultation and spraying dates in advance, 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 62% of homes here, about 2,030 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 Filey) and whole-room changes (see a full kitchen makeover in Filey).

With homes here spread across every period (27% before 1919, 36% 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 3,270 households in the 4 neighbourhoods nearest the centre, so read them as the general picture; we judge your own kitchen on the day.
Kitchen size and layout
Semi-detached houses are 37% of homes here (average 37%), about 1,200 households, and in a semi the kitchen has often been extended or opened into the old dining room, giving one long L or U-shaped run. Detached houses add another 26%, roughly 840 households, and their kitchens, like extended semis, usually have more drawer fronts and end panels than people expect, so we count every sprayed face before pricing. Terraces (18%) and flats (20%) account for most of the remaining 1,240 households, and those kitchens are usually smaller.
The age of the homes
Homes built before 1919 are 27% of the 4,350 properties here, against 21% on average. Next come homes built between 1945 and 1972 at 26% and between 1973 and 1999 at 19%. With 36% built after 1973 as well (about 1,570 properties), we see in-frame timber kitchens in some of the older properties and MDF or foil-wrapped doors in later ones, and the door material, more than the age of the house, decides the primer.
Owners, landlords and tenants
66% of the 3,270 households own their home and 19% rent privately, against averages of 63% and 19%. We respray for both, roughly 2,170 owner households and 610 privately rented ones: owners mostly for a colour change, landlords mostly to bring worn doors back without a refit. A further 13% (about 420 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
At about 1 hour 33 minutes each way from Sheepscar, the visits to Filey are for collecting the doors and drawer fronts, spraying the frames and panels in place, and refitting, so we fix those dates in advance and keep them to as few trips as the job allows (see the 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 730 properties here (17%) 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 38% of homes here are flats or terraces (20% and 18%), 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 Filey: Questions
How much does kitchen respraying cost in Filey?
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. With 37% of homes here semi-detached and 26% detached, the typical extended semi kitchen usually falls in the middle 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 38% of homes here that are flats or terraces (about 1,240 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: 36% of the 4,350 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 Filey from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Filey is about 67 miles by road, roughly 1 hour 33 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 Filey?
All kinds. Around Filey centre, the most common home is a semi-detached house (37% of households, Census 2021), and 27% of properties were built before 1919 (VOA, 2025); a kitchen respray works in any of them, and what changes is access, room size and the materials we find.
