What moves the price up or down
Number of doors
This is the primary cost driver. Each door needs removing, degreasing, sanding, priming, and 2+ coats of paint.
Cabinet material
Solid wood, MDF, and laminate all need different preparation. Laminate needs specialist primers.
Colour choice
Darker colours and bold shades may need additional coats for even coverage, adding to time and cost.
Paint brand
Standard cabinet paint costs less than premium brands. Farrow & Ball kitchen paint starts at £70/2.5L.
On-site vs off-site
Removing doors to paint off-site gives the best finish but adds to logistics. On-site spraying is also an option.
