Factors impacting the costs of kitchen painting

Factor 1: Use of extra materials

During the renovation of your kitchen, it’s possible to use different colours, but also one or more extra materials! In this way, we make the difference between, for example, metals and copper. By using new colours and combining these with specific materials, it’s possible to give your kitchen a whole new look, relatively cheaply.

Factor 2: Type of paint to be used

The type of paint to be used will have a significant impact on the price tag. If you’re going to spray the kitchen cabinets, it’s important to use paint that won’t be repelled. The colour to be used is up to your personal taste, of course! You must also think of the primer to be used, since this needs to match the surface it is used on. Here’s a table giving you an idea of the different types of paint and different prices:

Type of paint Average price
Turpentine-soluble paint 13-30 GBP/litre
Polyurethane lacquer 13-39 GBP/litre
Primer 13-39 GBP/litre
Water-soluble paint 15-78 GBP/litre

Factor 3: Combining paint jobs

Sometimes, when you’ve had the kitchen cabinets painted, it becomes apparent that there’s a huge colour difference between the cabinets and the ceiling or walls. The kitchen looks much nicer once all parts are the same colour, of course – even though you must take into account that this will make the process more expensive!

Interesting savings tips

It doesn’t have to cost too much money to have your kitchen painted! We are here providing some useful savings tips for you to take into account! This will make the process a lot more affordable.

Volume discount. If your neighbours are also having their kitchen renovated, and also need someone to paint their kitchen for them, it may be a good idea to use the same painter. You will benefit from a so-called volume discount, which can save you up to 10 percent!

Choose a winter painter. What many people don’t know is that it’s always interesting to choose a winter painter, since there’s less work for painters in winter, so the rates they charge are lower. In this way, you can save up to 30 percent on your kitchen painting, which is a significant reduction!

Second hand products. Do you want to have a few parts replaced, along with the paint work on your kitchen? Do you want to have this done as cheaply as possible? Consider second-hand articles. This can save you a lot of money!
