WELCOME TO BORTHWICK DECORATORS

We are hand-painted kitchen specialists working across West and Central London. We repaint your existing cabinets in your home for a flawless, hard-wearing finish — from around £1,200 — rather than replacing a kitchen that is structurally sound.

Revitalise good cabinets — don't replace them

Many of London's finest kitchens are built around quality cabinets that are simply the wrong colour or looking tired. You don't need to replace them. We turn dated timber or MDF units into a fresh, contemporary feature of the room.

Unlike factory spraying, our hand-painted finish has a depth and character that suits London's period and high-end homes — a classic Farrow & Ball scheme or a clean modern look, finished without the disruption of a full renovation.

ABOUT BORTHWICK

The art of the hand-painted kitchen

A hand-painted kitchen is preparation first and paint second. We degrease, sand, fill and prime before a single finish coat goes on — the same discipline we bring to period joinery across the capital.

The result fits a London home in a way a sprayed, off-site finish rarely does: a tough, even surface with genuine depth, and one we can touch up years from now rather than redo.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does a hand-painted kitchen cost in London?

Most kitchens start from around £1,200, depending on the number of doors and drawers and the condition of the units. We give a fixed quote after a free survey.

Do you work in occupied homes?

Yes — almost all of our London work is in occupied homes. We mask and sheet thoroughly and keep the kitchen usable for as much of the job as possible.

Can you match a Farrow & Ball colour?

Yes — any Farrow & Ball, Little Greene or Dulux colour, or matched to a sample you provide.
