PAINTTEC specialist service
Professional kitchen respraying for suitable doors, drawer fronts and fixed cabinetry in Edinburgh and the Lothians, supported by real PAINTTEC before-and-after projects.

Professional from preparation to completion
PAINTTEC resprays suitable kitchens, fitted furniture and bespoke joinery across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Every project is assessed individually because construction, substrate, existing coatings and wear determine the preparation, products and working sequence.
Doors, drawer fronts and other removable components are labelled, taken down and sprayed away from the property. This allows them to be prepared and coated in an organised sequence without trying to finish every component inside the kitchen.
Fixed frames, end panels, plinths and suitable built-in elements are prepared and sprayed on site. Worktops, appliances, floors, walls, openings and adjoining finishes are carefully masked before application.
Not every swollen, damaged or delaminating component is suitable for coating. We inspect the condition first and explain where repair or replacement may be the better option.
The coating specification
We do not treat ordinary primer as sufficient for kitchen cabinetry. A suitable adhesion primer is selected to create a secure base between the prepared substrate and the finish coats.
The primed surface then receives two coats of a suitable hard-wearing enamel topcoat. Renner, Tikkurila and Johnstone’s are among the principal manufacturers we use, with the product selected according to the material, existing coating, required finish and conditions of the project.
Practical durability: this system is designed to provide a solid, hard-wearing finish for normal use. No paint can prevent chips or damage caused by impacts, sharp objects or other mechanical abuse.
Real kitchen transformations
Separate before and after photographs make the change clear without misleading composites or duplicate watermarks.

Local knowledge
Kitchen spraying is a practical option for many Edinburgh homes when the existing layout and cabinetry still work but the colour or surface looks dated. It can refresh the room without the waste and disruption of replacing every unit. Each kitchen is assessed individually because materials, previous coatings and wear vary.
Our working process
Timescales depend on the kitchen size, construction, substrate, existing finish, repairs and number of components. We assess these before confirming the working sequence.
We inspect materials, existing coatings, condition and the components to be included.
Doors and drawer fronts are labelled and taken away for controlled preparation and spraying.
Fixed cabinetry and the surrounding kitchen are carefully masked before on-site spraying.
Adhesion primer and two enamel topcoats are applied before curing, checking and refitting.
Frequently asked questions
No. Each kitchen is assessed individually. The substrate, existing finish, condition and construction all affect whether respraying is suitable and which preparation and coating system should be used.
We use a suitable adhesion primer to create a secure base, followed by two coats of a hard-wearing enamel finish. Products are selected for the substrate and project, with Renner, Tikkurila and Johnstone’s among the principal manufacturers we use.
Yes. Removable doors and drawer fronts are labelled, taken down and sprayed away from the property. Fixed frames, end panels and other suitable elements are carefully protected and sprayed in place.
There is no single standard timescale. The size and construction of the kitchen, substrate, existing finish, repairs and number of components all affect the programme. We assess each project individually and explain the expected sequence before work starts.
The adhesion primer and hard-wearing enamel topcoats are selected to create a durable finish for normal use. No paint system can prevent damage from impacts, sharp objects or other mechanical abuse.
