A new lease of life for your kitchen...
It’s “THE” room of the house isn’t it! Here at Chests and Drawers, we offer a full refurbishment spraying service.
Whether you have just moved in, are bored of your current colour scheme or want to add value to sell, we can spray paint your kitchen units a colour of your choice.
We come in and take all removable items, such as doors, drawer fronts, kick-plates and covings. We mask all static fittings to paint the unit trims, while protecting your kitchen of over-spray at all times.
The removable items are sprayed in our spray booth and when finished, returned and fitted back to your kitchen. All doors and drawer fronts are aligned as they were and new handles fitted if supplied.
The paint we use is 2 pack paint, this is the most durable and easily wipeable and can also be mixed in eggshell (30% sheen) to any colour you wish.
Please contact us to arrange a quotation.
