Do painted kitchens chip easily?

Lisa Lumsden

I am keen to replace my kitchen and love the soft look and tactile feel of painted kitchens but I am worried about chips. Are any particular finishes more durable? Do manufacturers guarantee against this? All advice appreciated. Lisa

    A painted kitchen painted well will take a great deal of wear. Bear in mind that the high street typically spray paints and only a couple of coats which not enough.

    Really you need two under coats, cut back in between applications and then two or three top coats, cut back in between. You also need to ensure that the final coat is applied on site once the kitchen is fitted and caulked. It should look like cast sugar when it's finished, and done properly it cannot be beaten. We add gesso into our top coats too to thicken it up.

    Your other option is spray pigmented lacquer but it doesn't look good on classical mouldings, cockbeads etc.

    Poorly painted and prepared coats will chip more easily, and all painted surfaces will chip, in the same way that doors and architraves do.

      I have had a painted vanity unit made for the bathroom in Farrow & Ball dark grey & very worried about chips have to be very careful.

      I agree with jonathandb1972, we have a two tone kitchen and the wall units are light coloured with the island painted a dark blue. After one years use the wall units look like new, the island unit has about 5 chip marks (we aren't very precious about using it though). They are easily touched up having said that.

      Much like painted surfaces around the home, for example skirting, doors, banisters etc, paint can chip if subject to impact or scratching. There are different kinds of painted surfaces, for example hand painted and spray painted. Damage can occur on either but both can be touched up and made good by a professional if required. All ALNO kitchens are spray painted in the factory in Germany and provide a perfect finish which is available smooth or textured and in any colour of your choice!

      There are so many ways kitchens are painted. Here at Chapel Kitchens we use Beech as our under lying material for frames and rails. It is noticeably harder than the usual tulip wood which is quite a soft material. It therefore wears a great deal better. The darker shades look amazing but require a bit more cleaning. A fantastic trip for any hand painted kitchens is to use magic erasers for the day to day grime. They use no chemicals and lift most marks from kids/dogs etc

      The beauty of painted kitchens is that they can be touched up and cleaned upon scratching provided you have the original paint to match. Other types of material when scratched tend to be troublesome to repair and just need to be replaced. I wouldn't really go with a painted kitchen in a busy family home with small children, but as mentioned above they can be cleaned and touched up easily enough. A lot depends on the type of door your showroom is selling. Stay well away from the big sheds.

      Not so much an issue with what type of kitchen paint. It's the primer which will guarantee or not from chipping. I use Otex high adhesion primer which can be applied to non prepared tile or glass and will not chip. I just went to a clients house yesterday that had been painted in F and B and was chipping. The F and B was not the issue, just a poor quality primer.
