Your local kitchen cabinet painting team in Kentish Town
We paint kitchen cabinets and cupboards across Kentish Town (NW5), refreshing the units in everything from Victorian terraces, period conversions and converted flats above the shops along the high street. 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.
Kentish Town is busy, mixed and unpretentious, home to young families and renters with a strong local high street. The local housing stock — Victorian terraces, period conversions and converted flats above the shops along the high street — typically has lath-and-plaster ceilings, picture rails and cornicing, panelled doors and timber sash windows behind brick frontages. We work on properties right across the area, including streets near Kentish Town Forum.
Repainting family and rental kitchens off Kentish Town Road
The Victorian terraces and converted flats around the Forum and Kentish Town Road tend to hold older fitted kitchens — laminate and melamine doors, or units lacquered years ago. Those slick factory surfaces are exactly what cabinet painting is built for: once they are degreased, keyed by sanding and sealed with an adhesion primer, even shiny doors that look impossible to recolour take a tough, washable coat.
For the young families settled in the terraces here, a hand-painted Shaker finish suits the period units and is easy to touch up later; for flatter modern doors we can spray a glass-smooth coat instead. The letting agents managing flats nearby use the same work to turn a kitchen around between tenants in a neutral colour. Either way the price is fixed in writing after a free visit.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting for Kentish Town landlords and letting agents
Landlords and letting agents use cabinet painting to lift a tired rental kitchen without the cost or void time of a full refit. 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 Kentish 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 day rates and no creep on the final invoice.
-
Degrease and strip back the grime
Kitchen units carry years of cooking grease that paint simply will not grip. 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 so the lines stay 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 choice for the topcoat.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Kentish 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, never a day rate. 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.
Can you paint over the laminate kitchen units in my Kentish Town flat?
Yes — laminate, melamine and previously lacquered doors all take paint well once they are degreased, sanded to a key and sealed with the right adhesion primer. That prep is never skipped, because it is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that flakes. We quote a fixed price after a free visit.
