How long does kitchen spraying last?
This is the most important question you can ask before booking kitchen spraying. Not colour. Not price. Not Instagram photos. How long does kitchen spraying actually last?
The honest answer is this: kitchen spraying can last for many years — or fail within months. The difference is not luck. It comes down to the coating system and the skill of the people applying it.
When done correctly, professional kitchen spraying is designed to last many years under normal household use. When done badly, it can chip, peel, or mark within weeks or months.
Not all “paint” is suitable for kitchens. In fact, most failures happen because the wrong coating system was used on the wrong surface.
Proper kitchen spraying relies on coatings designed for: adhesion, durability, cleaning resistance, and daily wear. These are not DIY or decorator paints.
Budget systems often look fine initially but lack chemical resistance. Grease, heat and cleaning products quickly break them down.
Even the best coating in the world will fail if applied badly. This is where experience separates professionals from “sprayers”.
Degreasing, abrasion, edge work, and surface conditioning are what lock adhesion in. Miss this stage and failure is guaranteed.
Correct film build, flash times, and controlled spraying ensure durability. Rushing creates weak coatings.
| Aspect | Poor spraying | Professional spraying |
|---|---|---|
| Coating type | General paint | Engineered coating systems |
| Preparation | Minimal / rushed | Thorough, methodical |
| Edge durability | First to fail | Designed to last |
| Expected lifespan | Months to short term | Years with correct care |
Even professional finishes need sensible care. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, and impact damage. Treated correctly, sprayed kitchens maintain their appearance long term.
Peeling occurs when preparation or coating choice is wrong — not because spraying itself is flawed.
When done professionally, sprayed kitchens are designed to last for many years with proper care.
