Understanding the Kitchen Spraying Process: Pura Coat’s Meticulous Approach
Achieving that pristine, “brand-new kitchen” look isn’t just about applying paint. It’s a precise art and science that relies on meticulous preparation, skilled application, and the highest quality materials. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the Pura Coat kitchen spraying process:
Step 1: Initial Consultation & Colour Selection
Your journey begins with a free, no-obligation consultation. We’ll visit your home across West Yorkshire, including Huddersfield and its surrounding areas (or you can send us photos for an initial estimate) to assess your current kitchen, discuss your vision, and answer any questions you have.
This is where the magic of colour choice truly comes alive! We’ll guide you through our extensive range of colour charts, or if you have a specific shade in mind, we can expertly colour-match it. We also discuss the ideal finish – from modern matt to elegant satin or classic gloss – to ensure the final result perfectly complements your home’s aesthetic.

Step 2: Thorough Preparation – The Foundation of a Flawless Finish
This is arguably the most crucial stage, accounting for a significant portion of the overall time and effort. Proper preparation ensures optimal adhesion and a long-lasting, smooth finish.
- Removal of Components: All removable items such as cabinet doors, drawer fronts, kickboards, and decorative panels are carefully detached. Handles and hinges are also removed and often numbered to ensure correct reinstallation.
- Off-Site Spraying (Where Possible): For the highest quality finish and minimal disruption to your home, we prefer to take cabinet doors and drawer fronts back to our dedicated spray booth in Elland. This controlled environment, free from dust and contaminants, allows for the perfect application of coatings.
- On-Site Protection (For Fixed Elements): For any fixed elements like cabinet frames, end panels, cornices, and plinths that remain in your kitchen, our team undertakes extensive masking. This involves meticulously covering all surrounding areas – worktops, walls, floors, appliances, and splashbacks – with high-quality masking film, paper, and tape. This ensures there’s absolutely no overspray and keeps your home spotless.
- Deep Cleaning & Degreasing: All surfaces to be sprayed are thoroughly cleaned and degreased using specialist solutions. This removes any accumulated grime, oils, or residues that could compromise paint adhesion.
- Sanding & Repair: Each surface is meticulously sanded to create a perfectly smooth profile and a key for the primer to adhere to. Any imperfections such as dents, scratches, or chips are expertly filled and repaired at this stage, ensuring an impeccable starting point for the new coating.
Step 3: Priming – The Bonding Layer
Once prepared, a high-quality primer is applied. This isn’t just any primer; it’s specifically chosen for its exceptional adhesion properties, creating a robust bond between your existing kitchen surface and the new topcoats. Priming also helps to block out any previous colours or stains, ensuring the final colour appears vibrant and true. We apply this with precision, often in multiple thin coats for optimal coverage and smoothness.
Step 4: The Art of Spray Application – High-End Italian Wood Coatings
This is where Pura Coat truly stands apart. Once the primer has cured, we begin the spraying process using our advanced HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) and airless spray equipment. Unlike brush painting, which can leave brush marks and an uneven finish, spraying delivers a seamless, uniform coat.
Crucially, we utilise high-end Italian wood coatings. These aren’t just paints; they are advanced lacquers and finishes renowned globally for their:
- Exceptional Durability: Designed to withstand the daily wear and tear of a kitchen, including resistance to moisture, heat, and impact.
- Superior Adhesion: They bond incredibly well to various substrates, from MDF and laminate to solid wood.
- Beautiful Finish: They provide a luxurious, factory-smooth appearance that feels premium to the touch and looks truly stunning.
- Colour Fastness & Anti-Yellowing: These coatings are formulated to maintain their vibrant colour over time, resisting the yellowing often seen with lower-quality paints.
- Low VOCs: Many Italian coatings are developed with environmental considerations in mind, often having lower volatile organic compounds, making them safer for your home.
Multiple thin coats are applied, with adequate drying time and light sanding between layers to build up depth and ensure an incredibly durable and flawless finish.
Step 5: Curing, Reassembly & Final Inspection
Once the final topcoats are applied, the items are allowed to cure. While the paint is touch-dry quickly, the curing process takes a little longer to reach its maximum hardness.
- Reassembly: Once fully cured, usually within a few days for off-site sprayed items, your transformed doors and drawers are carefully transported back to your home. Our team meticulously reattaches them, along with the original or new hardware.
- Final Touches: Any on-site sprayed elements are de-masked, and the entire area is thoroughly cleaned.
- Quality Check: A comprehensive final inspection is conducted to ensure every detail meets our exacting standards and, more importantly, your complete satisfaction. Your kitchen is then ready for you to enjoy!
How Much Does Kitchen Spraying Cost in West Yorkshire?
This is a common question, and while providing an exact figure without seeing your kitchen is difficult, we can give you a strong indication. The cost of kitchen spraying is significantly lower than a full replacement – typically saving you up to 70-80%.
Factors influencing the price include:
- Size of Your Kitchen: More cabinets and drawers naturally mean more materials and labour.
- Number of Items to Spray: Whether it’s just doors, or fixed frames, kickboards, and plinths too.
- Condition of Existing Units: While we repair minor imperfections, significant damage might require more extensive preparation.
- Choice of Finish: Specialised finishes or colours can sometimes influence the cost.
For a mid-sized kitchen, you could expect a professional respray to be in the region of £1,000 to £3,000, while a full replacement could easily run into five figures. The best way to get an accurate quote tailored to your specific kitchen is to contact us directly.
