Kitchen Spraying in York
Your kitchen cabinets are structurally fine but the colour is dated, the paint is chipping, or they just don't match the look you're going for anymore. Replacing an entire kitchen to fix a cosmetic problem doesn't make sense when cabinet spraying delivers a factory quality finish for a fraction of the cost.
McHandy Plastering and Decorating provides professional kitchen spraying across York and surrounding areas. We use airless spray equipment and high durability coatings to transform existing cabinets, doors and drawer fronts into something that looks and feels brand new.
How Kitchen Cabinet Spraying Works
Every kitchen spray job follows the same process, and the prep work is where most of the time goes. That's deliberate. A sprayed finish is only as good as the surface underneath it.
We start by removing all doors, drawer fronts and handles. Everything gets cleaned and degreased to strip away years of cooking residue. Then comes sanding, sometimes by hand on detailed profiles, sometimes with our dustless sanding system for flat panels. Any dents, chips or imperfections get filled and sanded smooth.
Once the prep is done, we apply a specialist primer designed to bond to the existing surface, whether that's solid wood, MDF, laminate or vinyl wrapped doors. The topcoat goes on using airless spray equipment, which atomises the paint into a fine mist and lays it down evenly without brush marks, roller stipple or drips.
The result is a smooth, consistent finish across every surface. It's the same technique used in furniture manufacturing, applied to your existing kitchen.
Why Spray Rather Than Replace?
A full kitchen replacement in York typically costs somewhere between £8,000 and £20,000 depending on size and spec. Cabinet spraying delivers a comparable visual transformation for roughly 20% to 30% of that cost. The carcasses, worktops and layout stay exactly as they are.
There's also the disruption factor. A kitchen replacement means weeks without a functioning kitchen while fitters, plumbers, electricians and tilers work through the install. A cabinet spray job is typically completed within two to four days, and you keep your worktops, appliances and plumbing in place throughout.
It's not the right choice for every kitchen. If your units are physically damaged, the hinges are failing, or the internal layout genuinely doesn't work for you, replacement makes more sense. But if the bones are good and it's the look that needs updating, spraying is the faster, cheaper, less disruptive option.
What Can Be Sprayed?
Most kitchen surfaces respond well to spray finishing. That includes solid wood doors, MDF doors (painted or wrapped), laminate fronts, vinyl wrapped doors, end panels, plinths, cornice and pelmet trims, and dresser units. We can also spray island units, larder cupboards and integrated appliance panels.
If you're unsure whether your specific cabinets are suitable, we'll assess them during the free site visit and give you an honest answer. Some vinyl wraps that are peeling or bubbling need stripping first, and we'll flag that upfront so there are no surprises on cost.
Colour & Finish Options
You're not limited to what's available off the shelf. We can match any RAL colour, any Farrow and Ball shade, or any colour reference you bring to us. Matt, satin and gloss finishes are all available.
A lot of the kitchens we spray in York go from dated oak or pine to a clean contemporary grey, white or navy. But we've done everything from heritage greens to bold statement colours. Your choice.

Cabinet doors and drawer fronts. End panels and filler panels. Kickboards and plinths. Cornice and pelmet. Island units. Freestanding dressers and larders. We handle the full kitchen, not just the doors.
