Spray Masters help Mickleover homeowners choose the smartest route: spray the existing kitchen doors, replace damaged doors, or combine both for a luxury kitchen makeover without a full refit.
If your kitchen layout and doors are sound, spraying may give you the luxury result for far less disruption. If doors are swollen, delaminating or damaged beyond repair, replacement doors may be the better call.
The best option depends on the condition of your existing cabinet doors. A solid timber or MDF kitchen can often be transformed beautifully by spraying. A badly swollen, peeling, cracked or delaminating door may be better replaced. The advantage with Spray Masters is simple: we can talk about both options honestly.
Your current doors and drawers are removed, prepared, primed, sprayed and finished in a premium colour of your choice.
Damaged, swollen or unsuitable doors can be replaced with new made-to-measure doors and finished to suit the kitchen.
Where only a few doors are beyond saving, we can replace those sections and spray the rest for a consistent final finish.
The cheapest option is not always the best option. The right option is the one that gives you the best finish, longest useful life and least wasted spend.
| Option | Best For | Typical Price Direction | What To Watch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spray Existing Kitchen Doors | Solid doors, stable MDF, timber, oak, pine, painted kitchens that can be prepared correctly. | Often the best-value route when the doors and layout are sound. Kitchen spraying guide prices can start from around £1,500 promotional pricing depending on size and condition. | Grain may still show unless filled. Previously painted kitchens need inspection because failed coatings underneath can compromise the result. |
| Replacement Kitchen Doors | Swollen doors, peeling vinyl, cracked fronts, poor previous work, layout refreshes or style changes that need new profiles. | Usually costs more than spraying because new doors, drawers, hardware, fitting and possible panel changes are involved. Final cost depends on door quantity, finish, style and specification. | Replacing only doors does not automatically fix tired carcasses, plinths, end panels, cornices, worktops or poor colour balance. |
| Hybrid Spray And Replace | Kitchens where most doors are good but a few are damaged, mismatched or not worth saving. | Often the smartest commercial option because you avoid replacing everything while still removing the weak links. | The new and existing parts must be planned properly so the final kitchen looks intentional, not patched together. |
| Full Kitchen Replacement | Failed layout, damaged units, water damage, structural issues or when the entire kitchen design no longer works. | Usually the highest-cost, highest-disruption route once fitting, trades, worktops, tiling, electrics and finishing are included. | Often unnecessary when the existing carcasses and layout are still good. This is where people overspend. |
All prices are guide information only. Accurate quotes require photos, door counts, measurements, condition checks, material type, colour choice and whether you want spraying, replacement doors or a blended approach.
We have built this page for real local search intent, not vague “near me” fluff. If you are in Mickleover, Littleover, Etwall Road end or the wider DE3 area, send your kitchen photos and we can guide you through spraying, replacement doors or both.
Use the map link below to see the Mickleover DE3 area context. For a quote, the fastest route is still simple: send photos of the full kitchen, door count, postcode, and whether you are thinking of spraying, replacement doors, or both.
This is where experience matters. Anyone can sell you new doors. Anyone can say “spray it”. The win is knowing which option will still look right once the kitchen is back in daily use.
Send wide kitchen photos, close-ups of doors, damaged areas, door edges, drawer fronts, panels and your Mickleover postcode. We give an honest first opinion.
We look for swelling, lifting vinyl, cracked edges, failed previous coatings, heavy grain, water damage, hinge issues and whether the existing doors are worth saving.
If the doors are suitable, we remove them, prepare them, prime them, spray them and bake removable parts for improved handling strength and long-term performance.
If doors are beyond saving, we can discuss replacement door options, new drawer fronts, panels, handles, hinge requirements and colour matching.
When only part of the kitchen is unsuitable, we can replace damaged sections and spray the remaining doors and carcasses so the final kitchen looks consistent.
You receive a practical quote that explains the route, finish, timescale, preparation, optional extras and what is not included. No fairy dust. Just the proper route.
A kitchen makeover usually fails when people only think about the doors. The eye sees the whole room: panels, plinths, worktops, tiles, handles, end sections, lighting and colour balance.
Spray existing doors or replace damaged fronts depending on condition and budget.
Match drawers to the door finish, including replacement fronts where needed.
Refresh fixed panels so the kitchen does not look like new doors on tired furniture.
Update handles for a sharper finish, from modern bars to knobs and traditional hardware.
Create a two-tone kitchen with a darker island and softer surrounding cabinets.
Ask about worktop spraying and repair options if the tops are letting the room down.
Selected tiles, splashbacks and glass areas can be discussed as part of a full refresh.
Chips, dents and damaged surfaces can often be repaired before finishing.
Previously painted kitchens and vinyl-wrapped doors can still be transformed, but the condition underneath decides the route. If a coating is soft, peeling, contaminated or badly applied, we cannot guarantee a new system over someone else’s failed base. If vinyl is lifting or shrinking, replacement or full removal may be the right move.
Spraying is often cheaper when the existing doors are sound and the kitchen layout works. Replacement doors usually cost more because you are paying for new doors, drawer fronts, hardware, fitting and any matching panels. The right choice depends on condition, not just price.
Yes. Spray Masters can discuss replacement kitchen doors where existing doors are damaged, swollen, delaminating, missing, mismatched or not worth spraying. We can also combine replacement doors with spraying for a smarter hybrid makeover.
Yes, where suitable. New doors can be finished in a chosen colour and fitted as part of the kitchen makeover. This can be useful when you want a specific colour, sheen or finish rather than a standard off-the-shelf look.
Yes. If most of the kitchen is good but a few doors are damaged, a hybrid approach can work well. The damaged doors can be replaced and the remaining sections sprayed so the whole kitchen looks balanced.
Not always. New doors can look wrong if the carcasses, end panels, plinths, cornices and visible frames are still tired. That is why the full visual package needs to be considered before ordering doors.
Usually, no. For spraying, doors and drawer fronts are removed and visible fixed sections are masked carefully. Cupboard contents can normally stay inside unless specific repairs, fitting or access work is required.
Spray Masters cover Mickleover and nearby DE3 areas including Station Road, Uttoxeter Road, Ladybank Road, Western Road, Devonshire Drive, Etwall Road, Park Road, Sandpiper Lane, Swan Hill and surrounding roads.
Send clear photos of your kitchen, close-ups of damaged doors, the number of doors and drawers, your postcode and whether you want spraying, replacement doors or both. WhatsApp is usually the fastest route.
Yes. Two-tone kitchens are popular, especially darker islands with softer surrounding cabinets. This can be achieved through spraying, replacement doors or a combined approach depending on the kitchen.
Sprayed doors can last for many years when the correct preparation, primer, coating system and aftercare are used. Spray Masters provide a 10-year adhesion guarantee on suitable kitchens when used and maintained correctly.
Yes, but the grain will usually remain visible unless a grain-filling process is added. Some homeowners like the natural texture, while others prefer a flatter modern finish that requires additional preparation.
Warm whites, cashmere, taupe, French grey, sage green, olive, navy, anthracite, mushroom and soft stone shades are popular for luxury kitchen makeovers. We can help balance the colour against worktops, flooring and natural light.
These are the questions that help homeowners avoid overspending on new doors when spraying might be the better move.
