A full home spray painting makeover in Yorkshire costs anywhere from 1,500 pounds for a kitchen alone to 7,000 to 10,000 pounds for a comprehensive refresh covering cabinets, windows, doors, interior woodwork and more. This guide breaks down the cost of every surface area by area so you can plan your budget clearly, prioritise the right jobs and understand where the value is highest.
- Kitchen cabinet respraying is the highest-impact investment, typically costing 1,200 to 2,500 pounds for a standard kitchen.
- Front doors and garage doors are the most affordable individual jobs, starting from around 250 pounds each.
- 0% finance over 6 or 12 months is available from ColourHaus, making it possible to do everything in one go and spread the cost.
- Combining multiple jobs in one visit is more cost-effective than booking separate appointments.
- The number of door fronts, surface condition and colour choice are the main factors that move the price up or down.
What Drives the Price Up or Down
Before looking at individual costs by area, it is useful to understand the factors that affect price across all spray painting jobs. The main variables are: the total surface area to be covered, the condition of the existing surfaces, the paint system specified and the number of colours. These apply whether you are spraying a kitchen, front door or uPVC window frames.
Surface area and door count. More doors, larger frames or longer staircases mean more time on site and more paint. This is the single biggest factor in price for kitchen respraying.
Surface condition. Heavily worn, chipped or greasy surfaces require more preparation before spraying. A kitchen that has not been properly cleaned or has peeling existing paint will take longer to prepare than a clean, sound surface.
Paint system. A professional two-pack lacquer system is more durable than a single-pack alternative but costs more in materials. Two-pack finishes are what ColourHaus uses as standard because they produce a finish that lasts and can carry the 5-year written guarantee.
Colour count. A single-colour job is simpler than a two-tone job. If you want upper cabinets in cream and lower cabinets in anthracite, the masking and paint change time adds to the overall job cost.
Kitchen Cabinets: The Biggest Investment, the Biggest Return
Kitchen cabinet respraying is the highest-impact spray painting job in a home. It transforms the room most buyers and guests notice first, and it produces a finish that is genuinely indistinguishable from a new kitchen at a fraction of the cost.
Prices depend primarily on door and drawer front count. A small kitchen with 10 to 14 door fronts sits at the lower end. A large open-plan kitchen with 30 or more fronts sits at the higher end. For a detailed price breakdown, see our kitchen spray painting cost guide for 2026.
What is included in a standard kitchen respray: removal of doors and drawer fronts, degreasing and sanding preparation, priming, two top coats in your chosen colour and finish, reinstallation and hardware refit. Frame spraying (the carcasses that stay in place) is done with the kitchen masked off in situ.
Front Doors: High Curb Appeal at Low Cost
A front door respray is one of the most cost-effective spray jobs available. It takes a single day, transforms the first impression of the property and typically costs a fraction of what a new door would cost.
Standard front door spraying covers the door, frame and any sidelights in the same colour. The door is masked in place, cleaned and prepared, then sprayed in multiple coats. Colour options are unlimited. For Yorkshire stone houses in particular, a well-chosen front door colour can have a significant effect on curb appeal. Visit our front door spraying service page for more details.
Garage Doors: Often Overlooked, Significant Visual Impact
A garage door covers a large visual area, often more than a front door, and a faded, rusting or scruffy garage door has a disproportionate negative effect on curb appeal. Respraying rather than replacing is almost always the right choice unless the door is structurally compromised.
Up and over doors, sectional doors and side-hinged doors can all be sprayed. The main preparation consideration is any surface rust, which needs to be treated before spraying. For full details, see our guide on home spray painting costs in Yorkshire.
uPVC Windows and Frames: Transform the Exterior
uPVC spray painting changes the colour of white or cream window frames to any colour: anthracite grey, chartwell green, black, or a custom shade. It is a fraction of the cost of replacing windows and produces a clean, consistent finish that can last 10 years or more when done properly.
Price is driven by frame count and complexity. A standard three-bedroom semi with 8 to 12 window frames is in the mid-range. Bay windows, complex shapes and restricted access to upper floors add to the cost. For a detailed comparison, see our article on spray painting vs replacing.
Interior Woodwork: Radiators, Staircases and Skirting
Interior woodwork spraying covers staircases and banisters, skirting boards, architraves, radiators and internal doors. These jobs require careful masking to protect floors and walls, but the results are significantly cleaner and more durable than brush-painted alternatives.
Staircases and banisters are particularly popular because brush-painting them produces visible brush marks on spindles. A spray finish is smooth and even across every profile. Radiators that are yellowed or peeling can be restored to a clean white or painted in a contrasting colour to match interior design choices.

These are guide prices for Yorkshire. Your exact quote will depend on access, surface condition and the specific scope of work. All ColourHaus quotes are fixed price, confirmed in writing before work begins.
How 0% Finance Changes the Calculation
0% finance over 6 or 12 months means the cost of a comprehensive home makeover becomes comparable to a monthly household expense rather than a large upfront payment. A 6,000 pound makeover spread over 12 months is 500 pounds per month with no interest added.
This makes it practical to do everything in one go rather than phasing the work over several years. Doing it all at once also means one set of disruption, one set of masking and protection and often a better combined price. Ask about finance when you get your free site visit.
How to Get and Compare Quotes
Always get at least two quotes. Ask each contractor to specify: the paint system they will use, the number of coats, what preparation is included, the guarantee they offer and whether the price is fixed. A quote that does not include preparation or that quotes by the hour is a warning sign.
ColourHaus has been trading since 2015 and has completed over 252 five-star reviewed jobs across Yorkshire. Every quote is fixed price and put in writing. There are no surprises on completion day.
A single front door is typically the cheapest individual spray job, starting from around 250 to 400 pounds for a standard door in a single colour. Radiators are similarly affordable when done as part of a larger job. Kitchen cabinets cost more but deliver proportionally more visual impact given how central the kitchen is to a home's overall feel.
Yes. ColourHaus offers 0% finance over 6 or 12 months with no interest added. This makes a full home makeover much more accessible, as you can have all the work done in one visit and pay the balance over the following months from your normal income. Ask about finance when you request your free quote.
Compare on a like-for-like basis: the number of surfaces covered, the paint system used (two-pack lacquer vs single-pack), whether preparation and priming is included, the guarantee length and whether the price is fixed. The cheapest quote rarely represents the best value when durability and finish quality are factored in.
