| Medium Kitchens | €1250 to €1400 |
| Large Kitchens | €1400 to €2000 |

What a kitchen respray costs elsewhere in Ireland
The price bands above are the same wherever we work. We spray kitchens across Dublin, Meath, Kildare, Wicklow and Louth, and the quote is built from the number of doors, drawer fronts and panels rather than the county you live in.
| Kitchen size | Ireland wide price band | Time on site |
|---|---|---|
| Small kitchen, up to 10 doors | €700 to €1000 | 1 day |
| Medium kitchen, 10 to 15 doors | €1250 to €1400 | 1 to 2 days |
| Large kitchen, 15 to 20 doors | €1400 to €2000 | 2 days |
| Very large kitchen with island | €2000 to €3000 | 2 to 3 days |
Travel outside Dublin is built into the fixed quote, never added afterwards. For Wicklow, Kildare, Meath and Louth we usually group nearby jobs into the same week, which keeps the price in the same bands as a Dublin kitchen. You can see the full list on our areas we cover page.
What changes the price
Number of doors and drawers
We price on the pieces we spray, not the room. Two kitchens of the same size can differ by several hundred euro if one has twice the drawer fronts.
Condition of the surfaces
Sound doors need a degrease, sand and prime. Chipped, peeling or water swollen doors need filling and extra preparation, which adds time.
Type of door
Timber, MDF and painted doors are straightforward. Vinyl wrapped, thermofoil and high gloss doors need a bonding primer, which adds a little to the cost.
Finish you choose
Matt, satin and gloss are all available. Gloss needs more coats and a more careful environment, so it sits at the upper end.
Extras in the same visit
Wardrobes, utility presses, island units and a spray granite worktop finish can all be added while we are set up, which is cheaper than a separate booking.
Respray or replace: the real comparison
A fitted replacement kitchen in Dublin usually starts around €8000 and runs well past €15000 once worktops, appliances and fitting are added, and the room is out of action for weeks. A respray keeps the carcasses, worktops and appliances you already have, costs a fraction of that and is finished in 1 to 3 days.
| Comparison | Professional respray | Full replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Typical cost in Dublin | €700 to €3000 | €8000 to €15000 and up |
| How long it takes | 1 to 3 days | Weeks out of the kitchen |
| What you keep | Your existing units, worktops and appliances | Nothing, everything is replaced |
| Typical saving | Around 70 percent | None |
| Best when | Units are sound and only the look is dated | Units are failing or you want a new layout |
If the units themselves are failing, with soft hinges, broken runners or swollen board, replacement is the honest answer and we will say so. If the units are sound and only the look is dated, a respray is the better value by a distance.
