Overview

The finish that pulls the whole scheme together

Refinishing is often the last piece of a refurbishment brief and the first thing people notice. A tired chair frame with a new sprayed lacquer looks like a different piece. A kitchen with resprayed units is a fraction of the cost of a full replacement and often looks better.

We spray in our Norwich workshop, controlled environment, correct primers, colour matched to your scheme. Frames come off our own manufacturing line, our reupholstery line, or in from customers as a standalone job.

This is an in-house capability we use to complete our own projects. It isn't our headline service, but it's a genuine reason to choose one supplier rather than juggling a manufacturer, an upholsterer and a sprayer.

Why it matters

Why finishing decides how the piece reads

An uneven finish on a chair frame or a run of dining tables shows up hard under restaurant lighting. Brush marks, orange peel, patchy colour and thin build all tell the guest 'value engineered'. Poor finish undoes good joinery and good upholstery.

The other trap is skipping proper prep, filling, sanding and priming. Sprayed lacquer on badly prepped substrate looks fine for a week, then telegraphs every defect underneath.

Our process

Simple to start. Precise to finish.

01

Assessment

Send photos or bring the piece in. We assess substrate, existing finish and required colour.

02

Colour Match & Sample

Colour matched to your reference, RAL, Farrow & Ball, existing scheme or bespoke, and sampled for approval.

03

Strip & Prep

Existing finish stripped or sanded, fills and repairs done, primed for the topcoat.

04

Spray & Cure

Sprayed in booth with the correct lacquer for the use, contract-grade for hospitality, domestic-grade for residential.

05

Delivery & Reassembly

Reassembled with upholstery if needed and delivered UK-wide.

UK-Wide Collection

In detail

What we spray and how we spray it

Spraying is a controlled process (booth, primer, topcoat, cure) applied to different substrates with different lacquers. Here's how we approach each.

Timber frames & legs

Chair frames, table legs, banquette bases and joinery frames. Stripped or sanded, filled, primed and sprayed in the specified colour or a clear satin/matt lacquer.

Kitchens & side units

Kitchen door respraying and refinishing of side cabinets, dressers and freestanding units, a fraction of replacement cost and completed in a fraction of the disruption.

Metal frames

Bar stools, banquette legs and metal underframes powder-coat-alternative sprayed for colour flexibility.

Finishes & sheens

Matt, satin and gloss lacquers; solid colour, wash, or clear-over-stain. Sample first, commit second.

Commercial vs domestic

Commercial furniture spraying uses harder-wearing lacquers designed for hospitality abrasion. Domestic furniture uses a finer-finish domestic lacquer for hand-feel and appearance.

FAQ

Straight answers, before you enquire.

Can you match a specific colour?+

Yes, RAL, brand palettes, paint chips, or existing pieces. We sample and get sign-off before committing.

Do you spray kitchens?+

Yes, kitchen unit respraying is a common job. It's a fraction of a replacement cost and finishes in a fraction of the time.

Do you collect and deliver?+

Yes, UK-wide collection and delivery, or we combine spraying with a manufacture or reupholstery job.

How much does spraying cost?+

It depends on volume, prep required and finish spec. Every quote is free and itemised.

Is the finish guaranteed?+

Yes. Terms specific to the piece and use are confirmed at time of order.

Can you spray on-site?+

Most spraying is done in the controlled booth environment at our workshop. Some large fixed pieces can be finished on site, assessed case by case.

How long does the finish last?+

In commercial use, contract-grade lacquer typically holds up for several years of daily service before a refresh. Domestic life is longer.

Do you spray metal as well as timber?+

Yes, both, with the correct primer and topcoat for the substrate.
