Benefits of Paintable Kitchen Doors

Paintable MDF kitchen doors offer a versatile and cost-effective solution for transforming your kitchen. Whether you’re refreshing an existing space or designing a brand-new kitchen, these doors provide flexibility, durability, and endless customisation options.

Unlimited Colour & Finish Options

Unlike pre-finished doors, paintable MDF doors allow you to choose any colour or finish to match your style. Whether you prefer a bold modern look, a soft pastel for a classic feel, or a sleek matt or high-gloss finish, the choice is entirely yours.

Cost-Effective & Budget-Friendly

MDF doors offer the premium look of custom cabinetry at a fraction of the price. By painting them yourself or choosing a professional finish, you can achieve a high-end aesthetic without the high-end cost.

Easy to Update & Refresh

Trends change, and so do personal preferences. With paintable MDF kitchen doors, you’re never stuck with one style. A fresh coat of paint can completely transform your kitchen without the need for a full renovation.

Smooth & Seamless Finish

MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) has a smooth, uniform surface that ensures a flawless painted finish. Unlike natural wood, it has no grain or knots, making it the ideal choice for achieving a sleek, professional look.

Strong & Durable Material

Our high-quality MDF is designed to withstand daily kitchen use. It resists warping, cracking, and splitting, ensuring that your doors remain in great condition for years to come.

Works with Any Kitchen Style

Whether you have a modern, traditional, or shaker-style kitchen, paintable MDF doors can be customised to suit any aesthetic. Choose from a range of styles and apply the perfect colour to match your vision.

Environmentally Friendly Choice

By repainting and reusing your kitchen doors instead of replacing them entirely, you’re making a more sustainable choice, reducing waste and extending the lifespan of your kitchen cabinets.

Really easy process and our doors look great.

How to Paint MDF Kitchen Doors

Painting MDF kitchen doors is a straightforward process that allows you to achieve a professional-looking finish. Whether you’re updating your kitchen on a budget or looking for a bespoke colour, following the right steps will ensure a smooth, durable result.

What You'll Need

  • MDF primer (water-based or solvent-based)
  • High-quality paint (satin, eggshell, or gloss)
  • Fine sandpaper (120–240 grit)
  • Tack cloth or damp microfibre cloth
  • Paintbrush, roller, or spray gun
  • Dust sheet or newspaper
  • Masking tape

Step by Step Guide to Painting MDF Kitchen Doors

1

Prepare the Surface

Remove any dust, grease, or dirt from the doors using a damp cloth with mild detergent.

Lightly sand the surface with fine sandpaper (120–180 grit) to smooth out any imperfections.

Wipe away sanding dust using a tack cloth or a damp microfibre cloth.

2

Apply Primer

We've sealed the MDF with a layer of primer for you but two coats of primer are recommended.

Use a specialist MDF primer or a general-purpose wood primer. Apply a thin, even coat with a roller or brush.

Allow the primer to dry fully, following the manufacturer’s recommended drying time.

3

Apply Paint

Use a high-quality paint suitable for wood and cabinetry, such as satin, eggshell, or gloss.

Apply thin, even layers using a brush, roller, or spray gun for a professional finish.

Allow each coat to dry fully before applying the next layer, lightly sanding between coats for a super-smooth result.

4

Finish & Install

Once the final coat is completely dry, check for any imperfections and do any necessary touch-ups.

If desired, apply a clear protective topcoat for extra durability.

Reattach handles and hinges before reinstalling the doors.

Top Tips

For a Professional Finish

Use a spray gun for an ultra-smooth, factory-like finish.

Avoid overloading the brush or roller to prevent drips.

Allow sufficient drying time between coats for a long-lasting result.

Use a dust-free environment to avoid imperfections in the paint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to prime MDF before painting?

Yes, priming is essential. MDF is highly absorbent, and a good primer helps seal the surface, preventing uneven paint absorption. It also improves adhesion, ensuring a smooth and long-lasting finish.

What type of paint should I use on MDF kitchen doors?

Use a high-quality wood paint such as satin, eggshell, or gloss. Water-based paints are easier to clean up and dry quickly, while oil-based paints provide extra durability but take longer to dry.

How do I get a smooth finish on MDF?

  • Sand between coats using fine-grit sandpaper (180–240 grit).
  • Apply thin, even layers of paint.
  • Use a foam roller or spray gun instead of a brush to minimise brush marks.
  • Work in a dust-free environment to avoid imperfections.

How many coats of paint do I need?

Typically, you’ll need:

  • 2 coats of primer to seal the MDF properly.
  • 2–3 coats of paint for full coverage and a durable finish.

Can I use your paintable kitchen doors in a high-moisture environment?

Yes, you can! Our paintable kitchen doors are made from Moisture resistant MDF but you’ll still need to ensure they’re properly sealed with primer and paint to prevent swelling or warping.

How do I clean painted MDF kitchen doors?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the paint. For tough stains, a diluted vinegar solution can help.

Can I repaint my MDF doors in the future?

Yes! One of the biggest advantages of paintable MDF doors is that they can be easily repainted whenever you want a new look. Simply sand lightly, apply a fresh primer if needed, and repaint.

How do I measure my kitchen cabinet door size?

Measure the height of the door followed by the width, in millimetres. Make sure you are only measuring the cupboard door and drawer fronts themselves, not the cabinets. We recommend measuring against the back of the doors rather than the front, as these are usually the squarest parts. If you are ordering multiple doors we suggest you measure these individually as some doors may look the same size but have slightly different dimensions.

What is your cutting accuracy?

We offer precision cutting techniques ensuring excellent levels of accuracy at +/- 1mm

How many hinges do I need per door?

Two door hinges are the most common configuration for standard-sized kitchen cupboard doors. For larger cabinet door sizes, between 1500mm and 2200mm, we'd suggest using 3 hinges.

How do I measure for hinge holes?

Please take a look at our handy guide on how to measure your existing cabinet hinge holes.

Is it easy to install new kitchen doors?

Yes, taking down your old doors and installing new doors is an easy DIY project. We've created a simple guide to installing kitchen doors to help you and you'll receive a printed guide with your order.

What are the doors made of?

They are made of high-quality MDF with a primer and top coat of paint. They are durable, easy to clean and resistant to moisture and heat.

How long will it take to receive my kitchen doors?

We aim to deliver your kitchen doors within 14 working days from the date of order. We will send you an email confirmation once your order is dispatched.

How do I order?

You can order online through our website. Simply choose your size, add hinge holes if required and click "add to cart" to checkout.
