Coatings & colour change
Where damage or wear is spread across a whole face rather than confined to one spot, a localised repair is not the right answer. Respraying refinishes the whole element, so a tired door, panel or run of cabinetry can look consistent again without being replaced.
Respraying only works when four things line up: the surface can be properly prepared, the coating will adhere to it, the coating suits how the surface is used, and the colour or sheen can be achieved. We assess all four before recommending respraying, and we will say when a repair or replacement is the better route.
Scope
Damage
How it works
Photographs and details of the surface, its finish and how it is used are reviewed. We check whether preparation, adhesion, coating choice and colour are all achievable before recommending respraying.
The area is masked, protected and ventilated appropriately, ironmongery is removed or protected, and the surface is cleaned, degreased and keyed so the coating can adhere.
Chips, dents and damaged edges are made good first, because a coating follows the shape of whatever is beneath it.
The coating is applied in controlled layers to the agreed colour and sheen, aiming for an even, consistent finish across the whole element.
The finished work is reviewed with you in daylight, the area is left clean, and we explain curing time and aftercare before the surface returns to normal use.
Where we work
Honest advice
Every surface is assessed before work is agreed. Where a repair is not the right long-term answer, we will say so.
Questions
Where the surface is suitable and can be properly prepared, a colour change by respraying is often possible. Suitability, adhesion and the target colour are all assessed before we recommend it.
Four things: whether it can be prepared properly, whether the coating will adhere, whether the coating suits how the surface is used, and whether the colour and sheen can be achieved.
It depends on the damage. Isolated chips and scratches usually suit a localised repair, while wear spread across a whole door or panel is better refinished so the result looks consistent.
Curing time depends on the coating, the surface and conditions on site. We confirm it during the work and explain aftercare rather than quoting a figure in advance.
