Kitchen Respray Aftercare Guides # Kitchen Respray Aftercare: Keep Finish Perfect 5 September 2025 4 min read By Kenny Wyatt ![Kitchen Respray Aftercare: Keep Finish Perfect — resprayed kitchen cabinets photographed in London](/assets/kitchen-yellow-close-BxJkgvmi.jpg) Your kitchen has been professionally resprayed and looks stunning. Now here's how to keep it that way for years to come. ## The First 2 Weeks: Be Gentle Although your resprayed cabinets will feel dry and hard when we hand them over, the coating continues to cure for approximately 2 weeks. During this period: - Avoid heavy scrubbing or abrasive cleaners - Don't attach anything to the painted surfaces (magnets, sticky hooks) - Close doors gently — avoid slamming - If anything spills on the surface, wipe it off promptly with a soft cloth ## Ongoing Cleaning After the 2-week curing period, cleaning is simple: - **Daily:** Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Warm water is usually all you need. - **Weekly:** Use a mild washing-up liquid solution and a soft cloth. Rinse and dry. - **Avoid:** Bleach, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and acetone-based products. These can damage the finish. ## Handle With Care New [kitchen handles](/blog/how-to-choose-kitchen-handles) help protect your finish — they give you a grip point so you're not touching the painted surface directly with greasy or dirty fingers. ## Minor Touch-Ups If you notice a small chip or scratch, don't worry — it happens in busy kitchens. Contact us and we can provide a **free touch-up** during the guarantee period. Our **5-year written guarantee** covers defects in our workmanship. ## When to Call Us If you notice anything unusual — peeling, bubbling, or discolouration — contact us immediately.
