What a Kitchen Respray in Honley Costs and Involves
Kitchen respraying in Honley 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.
Honley is 23 miles from our Sheepscar workshop, about 39 minutes by road, so we fit consultations here around other visits to the south-west, 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 56% of homes here, about 2,550 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 Honley) and whole-room changes (see a full kitchen makeover in Honley).

With 32% of the 5,050 properties here built before 1919, Honley 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).
Honley Homes and What They Mean for a Respray

Type of home
When the homes were built
These figures describe the 4,603 households in the 6 neighbourhoods nearest the centre, so read them as the general picture; we judge your own kitchen on the day.
Kitchen size and layout
32% of homes here are terraced, against 27% across the towns we cover, which is about 1,480 households. Terraced kitchens tend to be galley runs or rear-extension kitchens with fewer units, so for those 1,480 homes our £1,500 starting price for up to 10 fronts is often close to the final figure. Semi-detached (28%) and detached (27%) 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
Homes built before 1919 are 32% of the 5,050 properties here, against 21% on average. Next come homes built between 1945 and 1972 at 28% and between 1973 and 1999 at 20%. With 32% built after 1973 as well (about 1,610 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
73% of the 4,603 households own their home and 15% rent privately, against averages of 63% and 19%. We respray for both, roughly 3,350 owner households and 680 privately rented ones: owners mostly for a colour change, landlords mostly to bring worn doors back without a refit. A further 12% (about 560 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
Honley is about 39 minutes (23 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
Heritage ranges such as Farrow and Ball and Little Greene tend to suit the in-frame and shaker kitchens of older properties, while the 32% of properties here built after 1973 (about 1,610) 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 44% of homes here are flats or terraces (12% and 32%), 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.

“We had tired high gloss units resprayed to a Farrow and Ball Pigeon colour match. The result is even better than we imagined - it looks like a completely new kitchen.”
“ColourHaus provided an exceptional service from start to finish. We had our kitchen cabinets sprayed plus a couple of uPVC windows. The cabinets look brand new.”

Kitchen Respraying in Honley: Questions
How much does kitchen respraying cost in Honley?
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 28% of homes here semi-detached and 27% 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 44% of homes here that are flats or terraces (about 2,030 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 Honley?
Yes: 32% of the 5,050 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 Honley from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Honley is about 23 miles by road, roughly 39 minutes away, to the south-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 Honley?
All kinds. Around Honley centre, the most common home is a terraced house (32% of households, Census 2021), and 32% 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.
