1960s detacheds in Cobham, particularly along Oakdene Road and Stoke Road, commonly still have their original solid-timber kitchen cabinets. These are in good structural condition but carry decades of grease and a dated finish.
Original solid timber shaker cabinets in Cobham and Weybridge kitchens are ideal for respraying. We assess the cabinet construction before quoting and advise on which approach will hold longest.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting Services
Spray-Painted Doors and Drawer Fronts
Cabinet doors are removed and sprayed off-site in a controlled environment. Spray finishing delivers a factory-quality, smooth finish that is superior to brush-applied paint.
Off-site spraying means your kitchen remains functional during the work. New doors hang once the spray finish has cured. See our interior painting page for complementary kitchen wall and ceiling finishing.
Solid Wood Cabinet Refinishing
Original solid-timber kitchen cabinets in 1960s properties are in good structural condition. They require proper degreasing and stripping before refinishing. Wire brushing and sanding remove decades of grease and old finish.
Once properly prepared, solid wood accepts a new finish that lasts. For comprehensive wood painting and timber finishing guidance, see our dedicated service page.
MDF Cabinet Refinishing
MDF cabinet doors require careful surface preparation to accept paint evenly. Specialist primers designed for MDF provide adhesion and prevent finish failure.
MDF is sealed with primer before paint application to ensure consistent coverage.
Colour Selection and Finish Options
Cabinet colour options are nearly limitless. We advise on colours that work with your kitchen’s style and lighting. Matte, satin, and gloss finishes are all available.
Colour consultation is included in the quotation process.
Cabinet Painting Versus Full Replacement
Cabinet painting is typically 30 to 50 percent of the cost of full replacement. It is a practical option when cabinet structure is sound but finish is dated.
We advise honestly if structural damage or poor layout means replacement is a better investment than refinishing.

How Kitchen Cabinet Painting Works
1. Site Visit and Assessment
We visit, assess cabinet condition, check for structural damage, and discuss colour and finish options. We measure all doors and drawer fronts.
2. Door and Drawer Removal
Doors and drawer fronts are carefully removed and labelled. They are transported to our workshop for spraying.
3. Surface Preparation
In the workshop, doors are degreased, sanded, and cleaned. All old finish is removed or sanded back. Priming and filling occurs as needed.
4. Spray Finishing
Doors are sprayed with primer and topcoat in a controlled environment. Multiple coats build to a factory-quality finish. Each coat is fully cured before the next is applied.
5. Installation and Completion
Once cured, doors are returned and hung on the kitchen units. Drawer fronts are attached. Hardware is installed and the kitchen is restored to full function.

What Drives the Price
Kitchen cabinet painting typically costs between £1,200 and £2,800. Price depends on the number of doors, drawer fronts, and finish choice.
Three factors drive cost: quantity of doors and drawers, material and preparation requirements, and finish choice. Matte finishes are the most economical; satin and gloss may add to cost.
Typical Price Ranges
- Small kitchen (8 to 12 doors, basic refurbishment): £1,200 to £1,600.
- Standard kitchen (12 to 16 doors and drawer fronts, solid wood): £1,600 to £2,400.
- Large kitchen (18 to 24 doors and drawer fronts, solid timber, multiple paint coats): £2,200 to £2,800+.
Trade Insight: 1960s Cobham Cabinets
Original solid-timber kitchen cabinets in 1960s Cobham detacheds are in good structural condition. They require professional degreasing and primer systems designed for previously finished wood.
Solid timber holds primer and paint better than the vinyl-wrapped MDF found in many 2000s kitchens. We assess construction before quoting.
Material and Preparation
Solid wood requires more preparation time than MDF. Cabinets with significant grease or damage add cost. A typical kitchen has 12 to 20 doors and drawer fronts.
We advise honestly if structural damage or poor layout means full replacement is a better investment than refinishing.
