Your local kitchen cabinet painting team in Camden Town
We paint kitchen cabinets and cupboards across Camden Town (NW1), refreshing the units in everything from Victorian terraces, flats above shops and period conversions, much of it rented. 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.
Camden Town is busy and lively, with high-turnover rented flats sitting above a packed mix of shops, bars and market traders. The local housing stock, Victorian terraces, flats above shops and period conversions, much of it rented, typically has high ceilings in older rooms, original mouldings and cornicing, narrow stairwells, shared entrances and timber sash windows. We work on properties right across the area, including streets near Camden Market.
Reviving rental kitchens in the flats above Camden Market
Most kitchens we repaint around Camden Town sit in the let flats and period conversions above the shops near Camden Market. Compact galley layouts, one and two-bed lets. Ripping out a sound kitchen makes no sense in a flat like that, so we degrease the years of cooking grease that paint will not grip, key the slick lacquer back by sanding and prime before a hard-wearing cabinet coat goes on.
Tenant turnover here is high. A repaint in a clean, neutral colour photographs well for the next listing and wipes down between lets, so landlords get years more out of the existing carcasses, and the kitchen stays usable in the evenings as the coats cure. Price fixed in writing after a free visit.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting for Camden Town landlords and letting agents
Landlords and letting agents use cabinet painting to lift a tired rental kitchen. No refit cost, no void time. A repaint in a clean, neutral colour photographs well for listings and wipes down between tenancies, so the units keep looking sharp for years.
How we do kitchen cabinet painting in Camden Town
-
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 Camden Town, 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 Camden Town?
Every kitchen is a fixed price after a free visit. In NW1 the figure follows the door count more than the flat: compact kitchens in these conversions above the shops have fewer doors and drawer fronts, and the condition of the units, the colour and a brushed or sprayed finish set the rest.
How long does kitchen cabinet painting take in a typical Camden Town flat?
Most kitchens are done in two to three days, depending on the number of doors and drawer fronts. The kitchen stays usable in the evenings, since doors go back on as the coats cure. We count the units at the free visit and give you the timeline with the fixed price.
Can you repaint a rental kitchen in a Camden Town flat between tenants?
Yes. A repaint is the quickest way to lift a tired let kitchen without a refit or a long void. We degrease, prime and finish the existing units in a clean, wipeable colour, working to a fixed written price agreed after a free visit.
