Kitchen Transformation – Before & After
This kitchen in Portstewart had solid, well-built units that were still in good condition, but the original blue finish made the room feel darker and dated. Rather than replacing the entire kitchen, the homeowners chose to have their existing cupboards professionally hand painted, giving the space a completely new look while saving thousands of pounds compared to fitting a new kitchen.
Every project begins with thorough preparation. The cupboard doors, frames and panels were carefully cleaned to remove grease and everyday kitchen residues before being sanded and primed using specialist adhesion products. Proper preparation is the most important part of achieving a smooth, durable finish that stands up to everyday use.
The homeowners selected a contemporary light grey finish to brighten the room and create a cleaner, more modern appearance. Multiple coats of premium kitchen-grade paint were applied by hand, producing a hard-wearing finish designed to resist moisture, cooking fumes and daily wear.
The transformation was completed in just a few days with very little disruption to the household. By keeping the existing cabinets and updating the finish, the kitchen gained the appearance of a new installation at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hand-painted kitchen cupboard painting worth it compared to replacement?
Yes — if your units are structurally sound, hand-painting is one of the best-value ways to transform your kitchen. Many homeowners in Coleraine, Portstewart and across the Causeway Coast choose hand-painted kitchen cupboards because they deliver a bespoke, high-end finish for a fraction of the cost of a new kitchen, with far less disruption and waste.
How much does it cost to have kitchen cupboards painted in Coleraine or Portstewart?
Costs vary depending on kitchen size, unit condition, and the finish you choose (matt, eggshell, satin). The quickest way to get an accurate price is to text a photo of your kitchen for a fast estimate or book a free, no-obligation visit.
How long does it take to hand-paint a kitchen?
Most hand-painted kitchen projects take around 2–3 days, depending on preparation requirements and how many doors, panels, and trims are included.
How long will a hand-painted kitchen finish last?
With proper preparation and professional kitchen-grade coatings, a hand-painted kitchen can look beautiful for many years. We use durable paints designed for kitchen environments that resist moisture, everyday wear, cleaning and household marks. Correct preparation is the key to achieving a long-lasting finish.
Do you hand-paint or spray kitchen cupboards?
We specialise in hand-painted kitchen cupboards because they provide a bespoke finish with excellent attention to detail. Hand-painting is particularly popular in Coleraine, Portstewart and Portrush for homeowners who want a traditional, high-quality look. Where kitchen spraying or respraying may be more suitable, we will explain the options and recommend the best approach for your kitchen.
Do you paint kitchen cupboards on-site or take the doors away?
Most kitchens are painted on-site to minimise disruption. In some cases, doors can be removed for off-site finishing if that’s the best option for your kitchen.
Can older kitchen cupboards be painted?
Yes. Older kitchens in Coleraine, Portstewart and surrounding areas can be painted very successfully as long as the units are sound. All surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, repaired and primed to ensure a smooth, durable and long-lasting finish.
Can you change the colour of my kitchen cupboards?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of hand-painted kitchen cupboards is the ability to completely transform the appearance of your kitchen. Popular choices include white, cream, cashmere, sage green, navy blue and contemporary grey tones, but we can create almost any colour scheme to suit your home.
Can you paint kitchen cupboards if the plastic coating is peeling?
Yes — but it depends on the condition of the doors.
Many modern kitchen cupboards have a thin plastic or vinyl wrap. If this starts to peel or lift, it usually needs to be carefully removed and properly prepared before painting.
In some cases, the doors can be successfully restored and painted using specialist preparation and priming. In others, replacement doors may be the better option.
We always assess this during your quote and give honest advice on the best long-term solution.
Why choose hand-painted kitchen cupboards instead of replacing the kitchen?
Hand-painted kitchen cupboards can save thousands of pounds compared to replacing a kitchen. If your existing units are structurally sound, painting allows you to achieve a fresh, modern look with less disruption, less waste and significantly lower costs than a full kitchen replacement.
