What a Kitchen Respray in Settle Costs and Involves
Kitchen respraying in Settle 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 43 road miles and about 1 hour 11 minutes from Leeds, Settle 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 57% of homes here, about 1,530 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 Settle) and whole-room changes (see a full kitchen makeover in Settle).
Kitchen Door Materials We Respray
| Door material | Resprayable | What we do |

| Solid timber, in-frame | Yes | Stain-block primer on oak |
| Painted MDF | Yes, the simplest | Fill, key, adhesion primer |
| Laminate or melamine | Yes, if sound | Key back, specialist primer |
| Vinyl wrap or foil | Yes | Peeling wrap removed first |
| High-gloss acrylic | Yes | Flat back the sheen |
| Water-swollen or delaminated | No | Compare a new kitchen |
With 39% of the 2,930 properties here built before 1919, Settle 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 2,694 households in the 3 neighbourhoods nearest the centre, so read them as the general picture; we judge your own kitchen on the day.
Kitchen size and layout
30% of homes here are terraced, against 27% across the towns we cover, which is about 800 households. Terraced kitchens tend to be galley runs or rear-extension kitchens with fewer units, so for those 800 homes our £1,500 starting price for up to 10 fronts is often close to the final figure. Semi-detached (27%) and detached (29%) 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
39% of the 2,930 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 since 2000 at 19%. Those roughly 1,130 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
71% of the 2,694 households own their home and 19% rent privately, against averages of 63% and 19%. We respray for both, roughly 1,900 owner households and 500 privately rented ones: owners mostly for a colour change, landlords mostly to bring worn doors back without a refit. A further 10% (about 260 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 11 minutes each way from Sheepscar, the visits to Settle 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 39% of properties here built after 1973 (about 1,150) 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 42% of homes here are flats or terraces (12% and 30%), 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 Settle: Questions
How much does kitchen respraying cost in Settle?
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 27% of homes here semi-detached and 29% 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 42% of homes here that are flats or terraces (about 1,140 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 Settle?
Yes: 39% of the 2,930 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 Settle from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Settle is about 43 miles by road, roughly 1 hour 11 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 Settle?
All kinds. Around Settle centre, the most common home is a terraced house (30% of households, Census 2021), and 39% 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.
