Kitchen & Worktop Refinishing in Northampton

We refinish wooden kitchen units, dressers and work surfaces. We can make a kitchen look like new, often for far less than the cost of replacing it.

Work includes refurbishing oak and other solid wood kitchen units, cupboard doors and dressers, repairing veneers and surface damage, colour matching replacement doors and panels, and refinishing wooden worktops and island tops with a finish suited to everyday kitchen use.

Every kitchen starts with an assessment of the wood and the existing finish, so we can recommend a finish that will cope with heat, water and daily wear, whether that is a lacquer for units or an oil or hard-wearing finish for worktops.

How we refinish a kitchen

1. Assessment and advice. We look at the units, doors and worktops, the existing finish and how the kitchen is used, and talk through the colour and sheen you want. Most of the work is done on site, and doors and drawer fronts are sometimes taken to our workshop to be refinished.
2. Protection. Appliances, floors, walls and surrounding surfaces are masked and protected before work starts.
3. Cleaning and preparation. Kitchen units build up grease and grime over the years, so surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and the old, worn finish is cut back or stripped so the new finish bonds properly.
4. Repairs and colour matching. Veneer and surface damage is repaired, and new or replacement doors and panels are colour matched to the rest of the kitchen.
5. Refinishing. Units and doors are resprayed with a hard-wearing lacquer, and worktops with an oil, hardwax oil or lacquer suited to heat, water and daily use, in a gloss, satin or matt sheen.

Kitchen units and wooden worktops

Solid wood and veneered kitchens in oak, pine, cherry, walnut and other woods often only need their finish renewed to look like new again. Wooden worktops and island tops in oak, iroko, walnut and other hardwoods can be sanded back, have water marks and stains removed, and be re-oiled or sealed so they are protected for years of use.

If you want a new look, we can also change the colour of your kitchen by staining the wood darker or lighter, then respraying it with a clear lacquer, keeping the natural grain on show.

Getting a quote

Every kitchen is different. The time and cost depend on the number of units and doors, the size of the worktops, their condition and the finish you choose, so we price each job individually. For a quote, send us a few photos of the kitchen using our contact form or WhatsApp.
