Recreate Kitchens: kitchen renovation through respray and repainting

Recreate Kitchens is a British company dedicated to transforming already installed kitchens without the need to replace them completely. Its method is based on respraying, refurbishing, repainting and recoating the existing elements, an alternative that the firm itself presents as cheaper and faster than installing a new kitchen or changing the doors.

The company states it has been applying this system of respraying, repairing, repainting and recoating kitchens for over ten years, and offers coverage throughout the UK, with the exception of Ireland, from its facility in Greater Manchester.

What can be renovated and what the process involves

The service starts with the reuse of the existing units. According to the company, in most kitchens it is possible to make use of the current modules and apply the respray to doors, end panels, plinths and cooker hoods, among other elements. The customer can choose the colour and finish.

The procedure described by Recreate Kitchens begins with the removal and collection of doors, drawer fronts and trim parts. The materials are taken to their factory, where the previous coating is stripped and degreased, damaged areas or holes are repaired and filled, and paint is applied by spraying. The company states that it uses lead-free acid catalyst cellulose paint formulated for kitchen use. The finish can be matt or silk, in the colour chosen by the customer.

In addition, the firm manufactures replacement parts, such as matching end panels, and a qualified fitter is responsible for reassembling the repainted kitchen.

Economic and environmental approach

Recreate Kitchens presents its proposal as a lower-cost alternative to buying a new kitchen. It argues that reusing the existing panels and doors is cheaper and requires less time than replacing them, and also points out that this reuse is better for the environment.
