Question 1

What is a kitchen respray?

Accepted Answer

A kitchen respray is a professional refinishing process where your existing kitchen doors, drawer fronts, and panels are cleaned, prepared, and recoated with a durable, factory-quality paint finish. Instead of replacing the entire kitchen, we transform the appearance of your current units — saving you thousands of pounds and keeping perfectly good cabinetry out of landfill.

Question 2

What's the difference between respraying and vinyl wrapping?

Accepted Answer

Respraying applies a professional-grade paint coating directly to the surface, creating a seamless, durable finish that becomes part of the door itself. Vinyl wrapping applies a thin adhesive film over the surface. While wrapping can be cheaper initially, it is prone to peeling, bubbling, and lifting over time — especially around edges and in kitchens where heat and moisture are present. A professional respray lasts significantly longer and delivers a far superior finish.

Question 3

Do you respray bedrooms and wardrobes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. We offer full bedroom and wardrobe respray services — Standard from £1,350 and Premium from £1,750. This includes fitted wardrobes, freestanding furniture, bedside tables, chest of drawers, and any other bedroom cabinetry. The same meticulous preparation and premium coatings we use on kitchens are applied to every bedroom project.

Question 4

What areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We serve homeowners across Greater Manchester and Cheshire, including Altrincham & Hale, Knutsford, Didsbury, Wilmslow, Prestwich, Worsley, Stockport, Bolton, and Tameside. Our workshop is based in Denton, Manchester, centrally located for collections and deliveries throughout the region.

Question 5

How long have you been in business?

Accepted Answer

Revitalize Resprays is a family run business with over 25 years of experience in professional wood finishing. We started restoring fine furniture before expanding into kitchen and bedroom resprays. The business has since transformed hundreds of kitchens across Manchester and Cheshire and has been featured in The Times for the quality of our craftsmanship.

Question 6

How much does a kitchen respray cost?

Accepted Answer

Our Standard kitchen respray starts from £1,350, which includes in-home spraying with professional-grade coatings. Our Premium service starts from £1,750 and includes door removal, workshop spraying in controlled conditions, and a superior polyurethane finish. The final price depends on the size of your kitchen, the number of doors, and any additional elements such as panels, plinths, or colour matching.

Question 7

What's the difference between Standard and Premium?

Accepted Answer

Our Standard service (from £1,350) involves professional spraying in your home in a single day. It uses high-quality coatings and delivers an excellent result. Our Premium service (from £1,750) takes things further: doors are removed and transported to our Denton workshop where they are sprayed in a controlled, dust-free environment using polyurethane coatings. Premium offers a factory-level finish, greater durability (10+ years), and is ideal for high-use kitchens.

Question 8

Are there any hidden costs?

Accepted Answer

No. We provide a fully detailed, itemised quote before any work begins. The price we quote is the price you pay. There are no hidden fees for materials, travel, preparation, or masking. If anything changes during the project, we discuss it with you first and agree any adjustments before proceeding.

Question 9

Do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

We understand that home improvements are an investment. We can discuss flexible payment options to suit your budget. Typically, we take a deposit to secure your booking with the balance due on completion. Please get in touch to discuss what works best for you.

Question 10

How does a respray compare to a new kitchen cost?

Accepted Answer

A professional respray costs between £1,350 and £3,500 depending on the size and service tier — compared to £8,000 to £20,000+ for a brand new kitchen including fitting, worktops, and appliances. A respray delivers a stunning transformation at a fraction of the cost, with far less disruption to your home. Most of our clients are amazed that they can achieve a completely new look without the upheaval of a full kitchen refit.

Question 11

How long does a kitchen respray take?

Accepted Answer

Our Standard service is typically completed in a single day. Our Premium service, which involves removing doors and spraying in our workshop, takes 3 to 5 working days from collection to reinstallation. We always provide a clear timeline during the quoting process so you know exactly what to expect.

Question 12

Do you remove the doors?

Accepted Answer

For our Premium service, yes — we carefully remove all doors, drawer fronts, and panels, label them, and transport them to our workshop in Denton. Once sprayed and cured, we return and reinstall everything. For our Standard service, doors remain in place and we spray in-situ in your home.

Question 13

What preparation is involved?

Accepted Answer

Preparation is the most critical stage. We thoroughly degrease every surface to remove built-up cooking oils and residue, then sand to create a key for the new coating. All surrounding areas — worktops, appliances, flooring, walls — are carefully masked and protected. This meticulous prep work is what separates a professional respray from a DIY paint job.

Question 14

Can you match any colour?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can match any colour from any range including RAL colours, Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, and all major paint brands. If you have a specific shade in mind — whether from a swatch, a fabric sample, or even a photo — we can colour match it precisely. We also carry a curated selection of trending kitchen colours if you need inspiration.

Question 15

What type of paint do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use professional-grade polyurethane coatings that are specifically formulated for kitchen and furniture surfaces. These coatings are far more durable than standard household paint — they resist heat, moisture, scratching, and the daily wear and tear of a busy kitchen. The result is a smooth, even finish that looks and feels factory-applied.

Question 16

What happens while the doors are away?

Accepted Answer

During our Premium service, your kitchen remains fully functional while the doors are in our workshop. The cabinet carcasses, worktops, appliances, and plumbing are all untouched. Most clients simply carry on using their kitchen as normal — just without the doors for a few days. We typically collect on a Monday and reinstall by Friday.

Question 17

Do you spray in the home or in a workshop?

Accepted Answer

Both, depending on the service you choose. Our Standard service involves spraying in your home — we set up a contained work area and spray on-site. Our Premium service takes place in our purpose-built workshop in Denton, Manchester, where we have controlled temperature, humidity, and a dust-free environment for the best possible finish.

Question 18

How do I care for my resprayed kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Caring for a resprayed kitchen is simple. Use a soft cloth with warm soapy water for everyday cleaning. Avoid abrasive sponges or scourers. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive cream cleaner works perfectly. We recommend allowing the coating to fully cure for 2 to 3 weeks before using any cleaning products, during which time a gentle wipe with a damp cloth is all that is needed.

Question 19

How long does a kitchen respray last?

Accepted Answer

Our Standard respray typically lasts 5 to 7 years with normal use and proper care. Our Premium polyurethane finish is significantly more durable and lasts 10 years or more. Many of our earliest Premium clients still have kitchens that look as fresh as the day they were sprayed. Longevity depends on usage, care, and the environment, but with reasonable maintenance, your respray will stand the test of time.

Question 20

Do you offer a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we stand behind every project we deliver. Our Standard service comes with a workmanship warranty, and our Premium service includes an extended warranty covering both workmanship and finish durability. Full warranty details are provided with your quote. We are always available for aftercare advice or any concerns after the work is completed.

Question 21

Can I use regular cleaning products?

Accepted Answer

Yes, once the coating has fully cured (approximately 2 to 3 weeks), you can use regular household cleaning products. We recommend avoiding anything highly abrasive or solvent-based. Standard kitchen sprays, antibacterial wipes, and cream cleaners are all perfectly safe. If in doubt, test on a small, hidden area first.

Question 22

What if the paint chips?

Accepted Answer

Minor chips or scratches can happen in any kitchen over time. We offer a touch-up service for all our clients. For small areas, we can provide a colour-matched touch-up kit so you can handle minor repairs yourself. For anything more significant, we will come out and repair the affected area to restore the finish to its original condition.
