Our Spray Finishing Process
1. Initial Assessment
Contact us to discuss your spray finishing requirements comprehensively and explore possibilities. We assess items or surfaces requiring spraying, discuss your colour preferences and desired finish types in detail, explain the complete spray finishing process thoroughly and answer questions, and provide detailed, transparent quotations with absolutely no hidden costs or surprises.
2. Preparation Phase
Thorough preparation is absolutely crucial for perfect spray finishes and long-term durability. We remove doors, drawers, or furniture items where appropriate for optimal access and conditions, strip existing finishes if necessary or unsuitable for overcoating, fill any damage, chips, or imperfections thoroughly and carefully, sand all surfaces completely smooth eliminating all texture and imperfections, clean thoroughly to remove all grease, dust, wax, and contaminants, and apply appropriate primers or undercoats for optimal adhesion and coverage. Preparation determines finish quality and longevity absolutely.
3. Professional Spraying
New build surfaces require specific preparation procedures and techniques for optimal results. We seal new plasterwork correctly using appropriate products and methods following manufacturer specifications, sand any rough or imperfect areas smooth, fill minor imperfections and gaps thoroughly, prime all surfaces appropriately for optimal paint adhesion and longevity, and protect floors and fixtures throughout the process. Proper preparation of new plaster is absolutely crucial—rushing this fundamental stage causes serious problems within months.
4. Quality Control
Before completion and handover to clients, we meticulously inspect all sprayed surfaces in various lighting conditions thoroughly, apply additional coats if needed for perfect coverage and colour depth, check all edges, corners, and details thoroughly ensuring completeness, ensure consistent finish throughout every surface without any variation, and allow proper curing time before handling, reinstallation, or use preventing damage.
5. Careful Reinstallation
For items removed for spraying in our facility, we carefully reinstall doors and all hardware correctly ensuring proper function, refit furniture components and fittings precisely to original positions, adjust and align everything perfectly ensuring proper operation and appearance, clean all surfaces removing any protective coverings or marks, and ensure everything functions correctly and smoothly without issues.

Spray Finish Applications & Benefits
Kitchen Cabinet Spraying – The most popular and transformative spray finishing application available. Kitchen spraying dramatically transforms dated units into contemporary showpieces instantly, provides durable, easily wipeable surfaces perfect for demanding kitchen environments, offers unlimited colour choices and finish options including matt, satin, and gloss, and saves thousands of pounds compared to complete replacement whilst looking equally impressive, professional, and new.
Door Refinishing – Internal doors show wear from constant daily use, handling, and impacts. Spray finishing provides smooth, durable, professional finishes that last significantly longer, even coverage on panels, mouldings, and intricate architectural details, long-lasting protection against marks, scuffs, scratches, and daily damage, and refreshed, coordinated appearance throughout your entire home creating visual cohesion and flow.
Furniture Transformation – Don't discard quality furniture with dated or damaged finishes unnecessarily and wastefully. Spray finishing updates colour and style completely and affordably, provides smooth, professional results absolutely impossible to achieve with brushes or rollers, and costs substantially less than purchasing replacement furniture whilst looking better, more professional, and completely refreshed.
Radiator Painting – Radiators are notoriously difficult to paint well with traditional brushes reaching all surfaces. Spray finishing provides smooth coverage without any brush marks, streaks, or texture, excellent access to intricate fins and recessed details impossible to reach otherwise, heat-resistant finishes maintaining appearance and durability under temperature cycling, and transforms unsightly, dated radiators into neat, attractive features that blend seamlessly with décor.
Why Professional Spray Finishing Beats DIY
Equipment Quality – Professional spray systems deliver consistent, fine atomisation for smooth finishes impossible otherwise, adjustable pressure and flow controls for precision and different applications, even coverage impossible to achieve with aerosol cans or basic equipment, and significantly faster application saving considerable time. DIY spray cans produce inferior results with visible texture, uneven coverage, runs, drips, and poor durability requiring frequent repainting.
Preparation Standards – Professionals thoroughly understand preparation requirements specific to spray finishing applications and materials. Inadequate preparation causes paint adhesion failures and peeling, visible surface imperfections showing through finished coats, and premature wear and damage—extremely common problems with DIY spray attempts by inexperienced decorators without proper knowledge or training.
Environment Control – Spray painting requires proper ventilation systems for health and safety, completely dust-free environments preventing contamination and imperfections, appropriate temperature and humidity levels for proper curing, and comprehensive surrounding protection preventing overspray damage to property. DIY spraying rarely achieves these essential conditions, leading to contamination, poor adhesion, imperfections, and disappointing results requiring complete redoing.
Finish Quality – Professional spray finishing achieves genuine showroom-quality smoothness impossible to replicate otherwise, completely even colour and sheen throughout every surface without variation, absolutely no brush marks, roller texture, or visible imperfections anywhere, and exceptional long-lasting durability that looks professional and maintains appearance for years of service.
