What Happens During a 5-Day Kitchen Respray? A Step-by-Step Look Inside Our Process
When your kitchen starts looking tired, outdated, or worn, it’s tempting to think that a complete renovation is your only option. But what if you could completely transform your kitchen in just five days — with minimal disruption, maximum savings, and stunning, factory-quality results?
Welcome to the world of professional kitchen respraying — and in this post, we’ll take you through the entire 5-day process as performed by Kitchen Respray Dublin, Ireland’s leading experts in breathing new life into kitchens.
Get ready for a detailed, step-by-step, story-based journey into how we turn the heart of your home into something you’ll love again.
The Problem: An Outdated Kitchen and a Big Decision
Imagine this:
Claire and John had lived in their Ballyfermot home for over 12 years. Their kitchen, once bright and modern, had faded with time — scratched cabinet doors, peeling finishes, and a general look of "well-loved" wear.
They faced a tough choice:
Spend tens of thousands on a full kitchen replacement?
Or take a chance on a kitchen respray they had heard whispers about?
One call to Kitchen Respray Dublin changed everything.
Day 1: Consultation and Preparation – Setting the Foundation
“The biggest difference is in the preparation.” At Kitchen Respray Dublin, we know that perfect results come from perfect preparation.
Our team schedules a detailed in-home consultation.
We inspect all surfaces: cabinets, doors, drawers, and worktops.
Minor repairs (like scratches or chips on formica) are noted for fixing.
We offer colour and finish consultations — from timeless whites to trending shades like Hague Blue.
Homeowners receive a clear project timeline and a transparent quote.
✅ Tip for Readers: Always ask about the preparation process when hiring a respray company. Great preparation = factory-finish results.
Day 2: Disassembly and Protection – Respecting Your Home
We treat your home like it’s our own. That’s why day two is all about careful disassembly and protection.
Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are removed and transported to our spray workshop.
Remaining surfaces in the kitchen are masked off meticulously with protective sheeting.
Floors, appliances, and worktops are shielded from any overspray or dust.
Claire and John were amazed at how clean and respectful the setup was. They could still use parts of their kitchen during the process!
✅ Practical Tip: Ask if your company offers off-site spraying for a smoother, cleaner finish. (We do!)
Day 3: Surface Preparation and Repairs – The Secret Sauce
Here’s the secret most DIY resprayers miss:
Proper surface prep = stunning, long-lasting results.
All kitchen surfaces are degreased, cleaned, and lightly sanded for adhesion.
Minor damage to surfaces (like worn formica or scratches) is repaired.
Specialized primers are applied depending on the original surface material (wood, PVC, MDF).
Our team’s attention to detail here is what separates a “painted look” from a true factory-smooth finish.
✅ Did You Know? Many cheaper services skip these steps — resulting in peeling or bubbling after just months.
Day 4: Spraying the Magic – Transforming Your Kitchen
This is where the magic truly happens.
In our professional workshop, your cabinet doors are sprayed in a controlled environment, using commercial-grade HVLP sprayers.
In your home, the fixed kitchen structures (like cabinet frames) are sprayed carefully and evenly.
Multiple coats are applied for durability and richness of colour.
John remembers walking into the kitchen after this day:
“It didn’t even look like it had been sprayed — it looked like brand-new factory-built cabinetry!”
✅ Pro Tip: Choose a respray company that uses specialist spray guns and professional-grade coatings — not just a brush or roller!
Day 5: Reassembly and Finishing Touches – The Big Reveal
Finally, we reach day five — the moment Claire and John had been dreaming of.
Sprayed doors and drawers are reinstalled with precision.
Any necessary adjustments are made for perfect alignment.
A final inspection ensures that every edge, hinge, and handle is flawless.
Homeowners are walked through their “new” kitchen and given care instructions to ensure longevity.
The entire kitchen looked brand-new, at a fraction of the cost of replacement — all within just five days and minimal disruption to their daily lives.
✅ Bonus Tip: Always get post-project care guidelines to keep your resprayed kitchen looking amazing for years.
