What You Really Pay For With Kitchen Spraying Swansea Prices
When homeowners ask us about kitchen spraying Swansea prices, they’re usually after a simple figure. But the truth is, the numbers only tell half the story. What you’re really paying for is skill, preparation, and the right materials – all of which make the difference between a flawless finish and one that starts chipping in a few months.
Here’s a clear breakdown of what to expect in Swansea, plus insider advice on getting the best value for your money.
The price range for Swansea kitchens
Based on our work across the area, here’s a typical guide:
Small (8–12 doors) | £650–£950
Medium (13–20 doors) | £950–£1,350
Large (21+ doors) | £1,350–£2,000+
These figures include all prep, the kitchen spraying, and clean-up – but not extras like new handles, hinges, or major repairs.
Why prices vary
1. Size & number of doors
More doors mean more time spent cleaning, sanding, masking, and spraying.
2. Condition of units
Grease-heavy or damaged surfaces take extra prep time.
3. Material type
Vinyl wrap, MDF, and solid wood – each needs a tailored approach.
4. Finish & colour choice
Gloss often takes more coats; dark-to-light colour changes may need extra primer layers.
5. Access & layout
Tight galley kitchens can take longer to work in than open-plan layouts.

What’s included in a proper kitchen spraying price
If you’re comparing kitchen spraying Swansea prices, check for these inclusions:
- Deep degreasing and sanding of all surfaces
- Complete masking of worktops, floors, walls, and appliances
- Specialist adhesion primers designed for kitchens
- Multiple coats of hard-wearing, heat- and moisture-resistant paint
- Curing time between coats for maximum durability
- Removal of masking and full clean-up
- A written guarantee on the finish
If any of these steps are missing, the price might look attractive – but you’ll likely pay for it later with peeling, chipping, or uneven coverage.
How spraying compares to replacement
- Replacement: £6,000–£10,000 for a mid-range kitchen (plus fitting, tiling, and potential plumbing work).
- Spraying: £650–£2,000 for the same units, with the finish looking like they just came from the showroom.
That’s a saving of thousands, and with the right preparation, the sprayed finish can last just as long as new doors.
Ways to get the best value
- Book during quieter periods – Autumn and winter can mean better availability and rates.
- Stick to one colour – Two-tone kitchens look great, but take longer and cost more.
- Do small prep yourself – Clearing cupboards and removing personal items saves the sprayer time.
- Upgrade hardware yourself – If you’re handy, fitting your own new handles can reduce labour costs.
The hidden cost of going too cheap
We’ve been called out to fix low-cost spray jobs where:
- Doors weren’t sanded, so the paint peeled in months.
- Overspray ended up on walls, floors, and even ceilings.
- The “guarantee” disappeared when the company stopped answering calls.
In the end, the customer paid twice – once for the bad job, then again for us to fix it properly.
The takeaway
Kitchen spraying Swansea prices typically fall between £650 and £2,000, depending on size, condition, and finish. But the cheapest option isn’t always the best value. Look for a team that includes full prep, quality materials, and a guarantee in their price. That way, your kitchen won’t just look amazing on day one – it’ll stay that way for years.
