When it comes to selling your home, the kitchen often holds the key to first impressions—and property value. As the heart of the home, a well-presented kitchen can significantly sway buyer perception and even boost your sale price. One trend making waves in the property market is kitchen spraying. But is it really worth it?
Let’s explore how this cost-effective technique could elevate your kitchen—and your home’s value.
Kitchen spraying is the process of applying a specialised paint or finish to existing kitchen cabinets and surfaces. Unlike traditional methods that involve sanding or replacing cabinet doors, spraying delivers a smooth, durable, and modern finish in a fraction of the time.
With a wide range of colours and finishes available—from classic whites and greys to bold navies and forest greens—homeowners can easily update their kitchen to reflect current interior design trends.
A full kitchen renovation can cost upwards of £20,000. In contrast, kitchen spraying typically ranges from £1,000 to £3,500, depending on the size and materials. The entire job is often completed in just 2–4 days, allowing sellers to get their property on the market faster.
Outdated or worn cabinets can be a major turn-off for buyers. A fresh spray can instantly modernise your space, creating the “wow” factor that buyers remember. According to industry surveys, updated kitchens can increase home value by up to 10–15%. That’s potentially £30,000–£45,000 on a £300,000 home.
Professional-grade spray paints are formulated for kitchen use, meaning they resist scratches, stains, and everyday wear. This durability reassures potential buyers that your kitchen won’t need immediate maintenance.
In a competitive housing market, speed matters. Kitchen spraying allows you to prepare your home for viewings within days, giving you an edge over similar properties still undergoing costly renovations.
Want to maximise the impact of your freshly sprayed kitchen? Try these simple tips:
While kitchen spraying is a smart investment, it’s not right for every home.
If your cabinets are structurally damaged, warped, or beyond cosmetic repair, full replacement might be necessary. Always consult with a professional before making a decision.
Though DIY spraying kits exist, achieving a flawless, even coat requires skill and equipment. Uneven coverage, drips, and overspray are common mistakes—hiring a professional is strongly recommended.
Pro Tip: Professionally sprayed finishes can last 10+ years with proper care.
Yes—kitchen spraying can be a game-changer when it comes to boosting your home’s value.
