What a Kitchen Respray in Hawes Costs and Involves
Kitchen respraying in Hawes 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 62 road miles and about 1 hour 35 minutes from Leeds, Hawes 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 65% of homes here, about 380 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 Hawes) and whole-room changes (see a full kitchen makeover in Hawes).

With 57% of the 740 properties here built before 1919, Hawes has more of the older properties where solid timber and in-frame kitchens turn up than most of the towns we cover, so the first row of the table is worth reading closely (more in our cabinet materials guide).

Type of home
When the homes were built
These figures describe the 579 households in the neighbourhood 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 32% of homes here (average 37%), about 185 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 33%, roughly 190 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 (25%) and flats (10%) account for most of the remaining 200 households, and those kitchens are usually smaller.
The age of the homes
57% of the 740 properties in the VOA count were built before 1919, well above the 21% average. Next come homes built between 1973 and 1999 at 20% and between 1945 and 1972 at 12%. Those roughly 420 older properties often lack square walls and level floors, and where a kitchen has been scribed to uneven walls or built around a chimney breast, we respray that joinery in place rather than disturb it. Solid timber panel doors move a little with the seasons, so a hairline line can appear across a joint in time; we point out where that is likely before you choose a dark colour, which shows it more.
Owners, landlords and tenants
74% of the 579 households own their home and 19% rent privately, against averages of 63% and 19%. We respray for both, roughly 430 owner households and 110 privately rented ones: owners mostly for a colour change, landlords mostly to bring worn doors back without a refit. A further 6% (about 35 households) rent from a council or housing association, where painting kitchen units normally needs the landlord's written permission first.
Hawes is inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park. A kitchen respray is internal work and needs no planning permission; the exception is a listed building, where altering historic fitted joinery can need listed building consent from the National Park Authority.

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 35 minutes each way from Sheepscar, the visits to Hawes 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
Heritage ranges such as Farrow and Ball and Little Greene tend to suit the in-frame and shaker kitchens of older properties, while the 27% of properties here built after 1973 (about 200) more often have slab or handleless fronts, which suit RAL greys and off-blacks.
- 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 35% of homes here are flats or terraces (10% and 25%), 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 Hawes: Questions
How much does kitchen respraying cost in Hawes?
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 32% of homes here semi-detached and 33% 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 35% of homes here that are flats or terraces (about 200 households), are usually at the shorter end, and larger kitchens with islands take nearer five days.
Can you respray an older in-frame or solid timber kitchen in Hawes?
Yes: 57% of the 740 properties here were built before 1919, and solid timber and in-frame kitchens turn up more often in older properties; we degrease, key and prime the timber, using a stain-blocking primer on oak, spray the doors at our workshop and the frames in place.
How far is Hawes from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Hawes is about 62 miles by road, roughly 1 hour 35 minutes away, to the north-west. 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 Hawes?
All kinds. Around Hawes centre, the most common home is a detached house (33% of households, Census 2021), and 57% 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.
