How To Prepare Kitchen For Respray Process # How to Prepare Your Kitchen for a Respray 28 December 2025 4 min read By Kenny Wyatt ![How to Prepare Your Kitchen for a Respray — resprayed kitchen cabinets photographed in London](/assets/before-oak-white-H360rzl7.jpg) Your kitchen respray is booked — exciting! Here's a simple guide to getting your kitchen ready, so the process runs as smoothly as possible. ## 1\. Clear Your Worktops Remove all appliances, utensils, and decorative items from your worktops. We'll mask everything, but clearing the surfaces gives us the best access and protects your belongings. ## 2\. Empty the Draining Board & Sink Area Keep the area around your sink clear. We need access to adjacent cabinets and will be masking worktops thoroughly. ## 3\. Remove Items from Inside Cabinets (Optional) We only spray external surfaces — your cabinet interiors stay untouched. However, if you have delicate items or food inside cabinets near the spray zone, consider covering or moving them. ## 4\. Think About Colour Haven't decided on a colour yet? Browse our [top 10 kitchen cabinet colours for 2026](/blog/best-kitchen-cabinet-colours-2026) or our [Farrow & Ball picks](/blog/farrow-and-ball-kitchen-colours). Considering a [two-tone design](/blog/two-tone-kitchen-ideas)? We can help with that too. ## 5\. Consider New Hardware A kitchen respray is the perfect time to upgrade your [kitchen handles](/blog/how-to-choose-kitchen-handles). New hardware can completely transform the look. See our [hardware replacement service](/services/hardware-replacement). ## 6\. Plan Your Meals Your kitchen will be partially accessible during the [4–6 day respray process](/blog/how-long-does-kitchen-respray-take), but you may want to plan simpler meals or use a microwave in another room for a couple of days. ## What We Take Care Of You don't need to worry about removing doors, masking surfaces, or any preparation — that's all part of our [full kitchen respray service](/services/full-kitchen-respray). We handle everything. Questions about preparation? [Get in touch](/contact) or call [07723 504885](tel:07723504885). ### Ready to Transform Your Kitchen?
