What a Kitchen Respray in Rothwell Costs and Involves

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 70% of homes here, about 5,600 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 Rothwell) and whole-room changes (see a full kitchen makeover in Rothwell).

Type of home
When the homes were built
These figures describe the 8,072 households in the 12 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 45% of homes here (average 37%), about 3,620 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 25%, roughly 2,020 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 (20%) and flats (10%) account for most of the remaining 2,410 households, and those kitchens are usually smaller.
The age of the homes
The largest group of the 8,340 properties here was built between 1945 and 1972, 40% of the total, against 26% on average. Next come homes built between 1973 and 1999 at 22% and between the wars at 14%. Few houses keep their original kitchen, and only 12% here pre-date 1919 while 12% were built since 2000, so what we respray is usually a later fitted kitchen in MDF, timber, laminate or wrap.
Owners, landlords and tenants
69% of the 8,072 households own their home and 12% rent privately, against averages of 63% and 19%. We respray for both, roughly 5,600 owner households and 970 privately rented ones: owners mostly for a colour change, landlords mostly to bring worn doors back without a refit. A further 18% (about 1,460 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
Rothwell is about 14 minutes (6 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 1,010 properties here (12%) 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 30% of homes here are flats or terraces (10% and 20%), 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 Rothwell: Questions
How much does kitchen respraying cost in Rothwell?
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 45% of homes here semi-detached and 25% 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 30% of homes here that are flats or terraces (about 2,410 households), are usually at the shorter end, and larger kitchens with islands take nearer five days.
Do I need permission to respray a rented kitchen?
If you rent from a council or housing association, as 18% of households here do (about 1,460), painting kitchen units normally needs the landlord's written permission. Private tenants (12% here) should ask their landlord too, and owners (69%) can go ahead directly.
Can a gloss, laminate or vinyl-wrapped kitchen be resprayed?
Yes, if the surface is sound: 34% of the 8,340 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 Rothwell from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Rothwell is about 6 miles by road, roughly 14 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 Rothwell?
All kinds. Around Rothwell centre, the most common home is a semi-detached house (45% of households, Census 2021), and 40% 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.
