Can your kitchen be saved?

Most kitchens that look tired are sound underneath. This is how re:love Home decides whether a kitchen should be sprayed or replaced, and how you can check yours before you send a single photo.

The short answer

If the cabinets are solid and the layout still works for you, a kitchen can usually be sprayed. Spraying changes the colour and finish of the doors, drawer fronts and panels. It does not change the shape of the room, so the first question is whether you still like how the kitchen works, not how it looks.

Signs your kitchen is a good candidate

Peeling wrap on its own is not a reason to replace. re:love Home removes it and sprays the MDF underneath.

Problems a new colour cannot fix

A sprayed finish is only as good as what sits under it. If your kitchen is past saving, re:love Home will tell you so plainly rather than quote for work that will not last.

What stays where it is

Spraying leaves the cabinets, worktops, sink, plumbing and appliances exactly where they are. Only the doors, drawer fronts and loose panels go to the re:love Home workshop, so you do not need to empty your cupboards and the kitchen keeps working while the doors are away.

Check yours in ten minutes

  1. Open every door and drawer, and note any that catch or drop.
  2. Look under the sink with a torch for swollen or crumbling edges.
  3. Press down on a few shelves.
  4. Photograph the whole room, one door close up, and anything damaged.

Send those photos on WhatsApp and you get an honest view of what can be saved, and a quote.
