Slough Decorators cover spray-painted doors, solid wood and MDF preparation, thermofoil surfaces, colour changes, and full carcass programmes across the Slough catchment.
Spray-Painted Cabinet Doors
Spraying in situ produces a more even, factory-quality finish than brush and roller on cabinet doors. It also means no disruption from having the kitchen removed. The kitchen stays in place throughout.
Full masking of worktops, splash tiles, integrated appliances, and adjacent walls is essential. Any overspray on natural stone or glass is difficult to remove cleanly. On Wexham executive detached kitchens with natural stone worktops, the masking programme takes as long as the door preparation itself.
Solid Wood and MDF Cabinet Surfaces
Fitted kitchens in 1980s and 1990s executive detached homes in Wexham on Templewood Lane commonly have solid wood or MDF cabinet doors that have yellowed under ageing factory lacquer. The lacquer surface must be thoroughly abraded with fine-grit paper and primed with a cross-linking adhesion primer before any new topcoat will hold.
Spraying a new colour directly over a degreased but unprimed lacquer surface produces a finish that scratches off within months. Every door and drawer face is sanded and primed correctly, with two topcoats applied in the new colour for a hard, durable surface.
Thermofoil and Vinyl-Wrapped Cabinets
Kitchens in post-war detached homes in Upton and family semis in Langley often have thermofoil or vinyl-wrapped cabinet doors. Where the wrap is lifting at the edges or corners, your decorator stabilises it before painting.
Where the wrap is peeling significantly, your decorator advises on whether cabinet painting is the right approach or whether door replacement would produce a better long-term result. When thermofoil is in good condition, the right adhesion primer produces a durable finish that holds for several years without peeling.
Colour Selection and Finish Options
Moving from a 1990s factory wood finish to a contemporary colour involves selecting both the colour and the sheen level. Satin is the most common finish for kitchen cabinet painting. It produces a surface that is easy to wipe clean without the high glare of full gloss.
In Burnham and Wexham properties where the kitchen is adjacent to an open-plan living or dining area, the cabinet colour needs to read well in context, not just in isolation. For a wider kitchen and utility room repaint, see our interior painting page. Where the project is a full refit with units coming in or out, see our kitchen renovation page for the wider scope.
Cabinet Painting Versus Full Replacement
A full kitchen refit for an executive detached kitchen in Wexham or Burnham runs into tens of thousands of pounds. Cabinet painting on the same kitchen typically costs between GBP 1,500 and GBP 2,500. The carcasses on most fitted kitchens installed in the 1980s and 1990s are structurally sound. It is the surface finish that has aged, not the underlying structure.
Your decorator advises honestly at the site visit on whether the carcasses are sound enough to justify a repaint or whether replacement is the better spend. Pair this with a feature wall or wallpapering programme on the same visit.

Here’s How It Works
1. Site Visit and Cabinet Assessment
Your decorator inspects every door and drawer face, confirms the surface material, checks for lifting thermofoil or edge damage, and agrees the colour and finishes. Your decorator advises on masking requirements for natural stone and glass surfaces.
2. Masking Programme
Worktops, splash tiles, appliances, and adjacent walls are fully masked before any work begins. On kitchens with natural stone worktops or glass splashbacks, the masking programme is carried out with full care. Any overspray on stone is difficult to remove.
3. Surface Preparation
All doors and drawer fronts are removed from the carcasses where practical or masked in position where spraying in situ is the agreed approach. Each surface is sanded with fine-grit paper, degreased, and inspected for the correct primer system.
4. Priming
A cross-linking adhesion primer is applied to all surfaces. This is the step that determines whether the new topcoat holds long-term. Your decorator allows the primer to cure fully before applying topcoats.
5. Spray Application and Inspection
Two topcoats in the new colour are applied in controlled conditions. Each coat is allowed to cure between applications. All doors are inspected in good light before refitting. Any imperfections are addressed before the masking is removed.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting Costs in Slough
Prices below are estimates only. Every kitchen is different. Call 01753 303456 for a precise quote.
Door and Drawer Count
A larger executive kitchen in Wexham with 20 or more doors and drawer fronts takes more time to prepare and spray than a compact kitchen in a Langley semi with 12. The count is the primary cost driver and is confirmed in the written quote.
Surface Condition and Primer
Solid wood doors in good condition with intact factory lacquer need standard preparation. Yellowed or heavily abraded lacquer, lifting thermofoil, or previous amateur paint applications need more preparation before any primer goes on.
Masking Complexity
Kitchens with natural stone worktops, glass splash panels, and integrated appliances require a more time-intensive masking programme than a kitchen with standard laminate worktops. 1980s and 1990s open-plan Wexham kitchens carry the most masking time.
Typical ranges: compact fitted kitchen in a 1930s or post-war semi in Langley or Upton (10 to 14 doors and drawer fronts, MDF or thermofoil, sprayed in situ) GBP 1,200 to GBP 1,800; standard executive kitchen in a Cippenham or Upton detached (16 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, solid wood or MDF) GBP 1,700 to GBP 2,400 including priming, two topcoats, and masking programme; large executive kitchen in a Wexham detached (18 to 24 doors and drawer fronts, natural stone worktops, sprayed in situ) GBP 1,900 to GBP 2,800 including extended masking programme.
