Can you paint my existing kitchen in Canterbury?

Yes, we can repaint existing kitchen cabinets. This is a cost-effective way to transform your Canterbury kitchen. We'll assess your current cabinets and advise on the best approach.

What paints do you use for kitchen cabinets?

We use premium paints from brands like Little Greene, Farrow & Ball, and Benjamin Moore. All are specifically chosen for durability in kitchen environments. We can match any colour you choose.

Is spray painting better than brush painting?

Spray application gives a flawless, factory-like finish, ideal for contemporary kitchens. Brush painting creates subtle texture that suits traditional Canterbury properties. We'll recommend the best approach for your style.

How durable is hand-painted kitchen furniture?

Very durable. Our multi-coat system using high-quality primers and topcoats creates a finish that withstands daily kitchen use. With proper care, your Canterbury kitchen will look beautiful for many years.

Can I change the colour later?

Absolutely. One advantage of painted cabinets is they can be repainted. When you fancy a change or want to update your Canterbury kitchen, we can refinish in a new colour.
