Your local kitchen cabinet painting team in Bloomsbury
We paint kitchen cabinets and cupboards across Bloomsbury (WC1), refreshing the units in everything from Georgian terraced townhouses around the garden squares, period conversions and flats, with some institutional and academic premises. Rather than rip out a sound kitchen, we degrease, key and prime your existing doors, then finish them in a hard-wearing cabinet paint, all for a fixed price agreed before we lift a brush.
Bloomsbury is historic and academic, defined by leafy garden squares, university buildings and a steady mix of residents, institutions and long-term tenants. The local housing stock, Georgian terraced townhouses around the garden squares, period conversions and flats, with some institutional and academic premises, typically has tall sash windows, original shutters and panelling, run cornicing and ceiling roses, deep skirting and lath-and-plaster reception rooms, brick and stucco facades inside the conservation area. We work on properties right across the area, including streets near The British Museum.
What kitchen cabinet painting in Bloomsbury usually involves
Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Bloomsbury covers doors, drawer fronts and frames, melamine, laminate and lacquered surfaces and hand-painted and sprayed finishes, matched to the georgian terraced townhouses around the garden squares found across WC1 and the way these homes are built.
The jobs we are asked for most here, like full townhouse and apartment repaints and reception room and staircase redecoration, all start with proper prep and a fixed written price, so a georgian terraced townhouses around the garden squares gets a finish that lasts rather than a quick once-over.
Why Bloomsbury homeowners choose us for kitchen cabinet painting
Homeowners across Bloomsbury choose us because the price is fixed in writing before we start. We use trade-grade paint suited to georgian terraced townhouses around the garden squares, period conversions and flats, with some institutional and academic premises, work tidily room by room (typically 2 to 3 days), protect your floors and furniture, and clear our waste away before we sign the job off with you.
How we do kitchen cabinet painting in Bloomsbury
-
Free site visit and fixed quote
We look over your units, count the doors and drawers, check the existing surface and the kitchen's day-to-day use, then put one fixed price in writing. No creep on the final invoice.
-
Degrease and strip back the grime
Kitchen units carry years of cooking grease. Paint simply will not grip it. Every door, frame and drawer front is thoroughly degreased and washed down so the new finish bonds properly instead of peeling at the edges.
-
Sand, fill and key every surface
We key the existing lacquer or melamine by sanding it back, fill any chips or dents and wipe down the dust. Handles are removed and hinges masked. That keeps the lines crisp.
-
Prime for adhesion
A specialist adhesion primer goes on first. This is the coat that lets paint stick to slick factory surfaces. Skip it and the finish lifts within months, which is why bargain jobs rarely last.
-
Hard-wearing cabinet topcoats
Two coats of durable cabinet and cupboard paint go on, by brush for a traditional hand-painted look or by spray for a glass-smooth factory finish. Farrow & Ball colours are a popular topcoat choice.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Bloomsbury, common questions
Can you paint over melamine or laminate cupboards?
Yes. Melamine, laminate and previously lacquered units all take paint well once they are degreased, keyed by sanding and sealed with the right adhesion primer. That prep is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that flakes. It is never skipped.
Should I have my cabinets brushed or sprayed?
Both give a tough, washable finish. Hand-painting suits Shaker and traditional kitchens and is easy to touch up later. Spraying lays down the smoothest, most uniform coat, ideal for flat modern doors. We will recommend the better option for your units at the quote.
Do I have to empty the kitchen while you work?
We ask you to clear the worktops and the lower cupboards we are painting. The kitchen stays usable in the evenings. Doors go back on as coats cure, so you are never left without a working kitchen for the whole job.
How much does kitchen cabinet painting cost in Camden?
Every kitchen is quoted as a fixed price after a visit. The final figure depends on the number of doors and drawer fronts, their condition, the colour chosen and whether you want a brushed or sprayed finish. We visit, count up and give you the price in writing before any work begins.
How much does kitchen cabinet painting cost in Bloomsbury?
Fixed written price after a free visit. In WC1 the figure follows the door count more than the address: the flats carved out of these Georgian townhouses often have compact kitchens, and their condition, the colour and a brushed or sprayed finish set the rest.
How long does kitchen cabinet painting take in a typical Bloomsbury flat?
Two to three days for most kitchens, and a compact conversion kitchen is usually at the quicker end. Doors go back on as each coat cures, so you keep a working kitchen in the evenings. We count the units and confirm the timeline at the free visit.
Can you paint the cabinets in a small Bloomsbury conversion kitchen?
Yes, and small kitchens are some of the most rewarding to do. We work around the space you have, clearing and painting in sections so the room stays usable, and a lighter colour on the units opens up a narrow galley considerably. We agree the shade and the fixed price at the free visit.
