Kitchen Painting in Derby
The room where everything happens deserves to look like it.
Nobody replaces a kitchen because of the food. It is always the cupboard doors.
I have lost count of how many people in Derby have told me they want a new kitchen. Then I go round, have a look, and the units are absolutely fine. Solid as anything. Good hinges. Decent layout. The only thing wrong is the doors look knackered. Ten years of cooking and kids and life have done them in. But you do not need to rip it all out and spend fifteen grand. You just need someone to paint kitchen cupboards properly. That is it.
That is basically how I ended up doing kitchen painting in Derby as much as I do. People figured out you can transform the whole room for a fraction of what a new kitchen costs. Get the right kitchen cabinet painter in and those tired looking doors come up like new. Smooth finish, modern colour, looks like you have had the lot replaced. Except you kept the perfectly good carcasses behind them and saved yourself a fortune.
At Connolly Coatings kitchen painting is one of our favourite jobs across Derby. Spondon, Mickleover, Littleover, you name it. And every time the reaction is the same. People walk in and cannot believe it is the same room. That is the bit I love about it. Not the sanding and priming. It is that moment when someone sees their own kitchen and just goes wow.
Cabinets that look brand new (without buying brand new ones)
Most people think they need a whole new kitchen when what they actually need is a proper paint job on the cabinets they have already got. I have walked into kitchens in Spondon, Mickleover, Littleover and right across Derby where the units are perfectly solid. Good bones. They just look like they have been living with a family for ten years. Because they have.
We prep everything properly. Sand it down. Prime it. Coat it. Let it cure. None of this paint over grease and hope for the best business. When we finish your kitchen cabinets they look like something out of a showroom. Except you did not spend showroom money getting there.
Walls, ceilings, the lot
Kitchens are brutal environments for paint. Steam from the kettle. Grease from the hob. That weird sticky film that builds up near the extractor fan. A regular emulsion does not stand a chance in there. We use the right products for the job. Durable finishes that you can actually wipe down without watching the colour come off on the cloth.
And colour? I could talk about kitchen colours all day. The warm greys that make everything feel modern. The deep blues and greens that have been absolutely everywhere lately and for good reason. The classic whites that just make a space feel bigger and cleaner. We will help you figure out what works for your kitchen, your light, your style. No pressure, no hard sell. Just honest advice from someone who has painted hundreds of kitchens across Derby.

“Kade and his team recently painted my house and I honestly couldn't be happier with the result. From start to finish they were extremely professional, punctual, and clearly take a lot of pride in their work.”
