This hand-painted kitchen in Hale, Cheshire, became a legendary “kitchen rescue” for JS Decor, the trusted kitchen painters for Cheshire homeowners. The project presented an immense challenge: turning a kitchen with a previous, shoddy paint job into a beautiful, durable masterpiece. The existing paint was so poorly applied that it could be scratched off with a fingernail—a true test of our skills and commitment to quality craftsmanship.
The Hale Kitchens’ Second Chance
The homeowners had grown frustrated with their kitchen’s appearance, and for good reason. The paint, which had been applied multiple times over the years, was in a deplorable state, a clear sign that no proper preparation had been done. At JS Decor, we believe that a superior finish starts with meticulous prep work. To meet our high standards, we knew this project would require stripping the existing layers down to a sound, clean base. This was a significant undertaking, but as specialist kitchen painters in Cheshire, we were ready for the challenge. After a thorough assessment, we provided a detailed quote and agreed on a plan to restore the heart of this Hale home.
Stripping Away the Past in Hale
Our process began on the agreed-upon date. We tackled the wall cupboards first, using our powerful stripping agent, Tough Task Remover Krud Kutter, along with Mirka Mirlon pads. This combination was incredibly effective at cutting through the multiple layers of old, failing paint. The process was painstaking, involving repeated cleaning, rinsing, and sanding with our Mirka dustless system to ensure every surface was perfectly smooth and ready for priming. After two full days of dedicated preparation, the kitchen was finally ready for the high-quality finish it deserved. This intensive prep work is what sets a professional hand painted kitchen in Hale apart from an amateur job.
The Transformation: Hand Painted Kitchen in Hale Cheshire
With the preparation complete, it was time for the transformation. We applied a coat of Otex primer, known for its exceptional adhesion, to create the perfect foundation. This was followed by two coats of Furniture Feelings paint in a beautiful “New White.” The paint was expertly mixed by our reliable supplier, Valtti, ensuring a flawless and consistent finish. Seeing the high-quality primer and topcoats applied to the now-pristine surfaces was incredibly satisfying. The result was a kitchen that was not only stunning but also durable, a testament to our commitment to using the best materials and techniques for every hand painted kitchen project in Cheshire.
Beyond the Kitchen: A Cohesive Look
The project in Hale expanded beyond the kitchen units themselves. We noticed a fireplace hearth and surround that didn’t quite complement the room’s new aesthetic. We suggested a makeover, painting the frame to match the tiles and adding a gold cream wax to the ornament relief, instantly elevating the space. The mirror in the room also received a similar treatment, being painted in the same New White as the units and finished with gold wax. This attention to detail is a hallmark of our service, ensuring that every element in the room contributes to a cohesive and elegant design.
A Complete Room Redesign
In a last-minute request, we were asked to redecorate the entire room. We happily obliged, painting the walls with Manor Coatings Vinyl Matt emulsion in “New White” and “String.” The coverage of this paint was excellent and its low-odour formula was a bonus for the homeowners. The delivery of the paint from our supplier, Holmans, was swift, allowing us to complete the project efficiently.
The entire kitchen repaint and room decoration took a lot of hard work, but the final result was a complete success. The kitchen has been given a new lease on life, receiving the proper treatment it should have had from the start. We thoroughly enjoyed our time working in Hale and want to thank Theresa & Peter for entrusting us with their home and their playful dog, Bell, for the company. As specialist kitchen and furniture painters since 1993, we are proud to serve homeowners across Cheshire.
