Repainting rather than replacing
In 2021, 449 Haddenham households were paying off a mortgage and 633 owned outright. For either, a new kitchen means ripping out worktops, plumbing and tiling as well as doors. Painting deals with the doors, side panels and plinths, and everything else stays as it is.
Before quoting, Graham looks closely at the doors. Vinyl-wrapped fronts can peel under new paint, so if yours are wrapped he'll say so rather than price a finish that won't hold. Timber and MDF respond well to proper priming.
Spraying units in a Haddenham kitchen
With four in five homes in the parish detached or semi-detached, many kitchens have long runs of units. Slab doors are well suited to spraying with our Graco Ultra cordless airless handheld, while shaker-style frames are often better brushed.
Timber worktops and beams can be sanded and oiled with Osmo during the same visit. Our kitchen respray page goes through each stage, and the walls and ceiling can be done at the same time under kitchen decorating.

How we approach kitchen cabinet painting
We remove handles and hinges, label every door, and degrease thoroughly around the hob and sink. Surfaces are sanded with a Mirka dust-free sander and chips filled, then primed with a Zinsser primer suited to the door. Two coats of hard-wearing woodwork paint follow, and the doors go back on only once fully dry. The full method, products and FAQs are on our kitchen cabinet painting page.
