Looking for a Smallbone kitchen painter? JS Decor specialises in luxury smallbone kitchen refinishing across Lancashire, Cheshire, Manchester & Yorkshire. Over 800 kitchens transformed and that number keeps growing.
Smallbone kitchens are renowned for their traditional cabinet-making, detailed joinery and beautifully proportioned in-frame cabinetry. However, even the finest kitchens can eventually benefit from a fresh colour scheme or a professionally renewed finish.
At JS Decor Kitchen & Furniture Painters, we specialise in transforming luxury kitchens, including bespoke Smallbone cabinetry. With over 33 years of experience and more than 800 kitchens transformed, we understand the preparation, technical knowledge and attention to detail required to achieve an outstanding finish.
We provide a specialist Smallbone kitchen painting and refinishing service across Lancashire, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Yorkshire.
Why Choose a Specialist Smallbone Kitchen Painter?
A bespoke Smallbone kitchen deserves more than an ordinary decorating service.
The intricate detailing, in-frame construction and carefully fitted doors require an experienced kitchen painting specialist who understands how to work with high-quality cabinetry.
Poor preparation, excessive paint build-up or unsuitable application methods can affect the appearance and operation of doors and drawers.
At JS Decor, we approach every kitchen individually, taking particular care with:
- Detailed preparation: Thorough cleaning and degreasing using professional preparation products, followed by careful sanding and surface preparation.
- Attention to detail: Protecting the character of the original cabinetry, including mouldings, panel details and the precise gaps around doors and drawers.
- Professional workshop spraying: Removing doors and drawer fronts and transporting them to our workshop, where they are prepared and professionally spray finished in a controlled environment.
- Careful hand painting: Fixed cabinetry, including end panels, frames and plinths, is meticulously hand painted at the property to achieve a consistent, refined appearance.
Our hybrid approach allows us to combine the benefits of professional workshop spraying with the precision of traditional hand painting.
Our Specialist Kitchen Painting Process
The finish is only as good as the preparation and products used to achieve it.
We use a carefully developed system designed to deliver a durable, attractive finish suitable for the demands of everyday kitchen use.
Our process includes professional cleaning and degreasing using Maalipesu, followed by appropriate sanding and preparation.
For our fixed cabinetry, we use two coats of Tikkurila Otex oil-based adhesion primer, followed by two coats of Tikkurila Akvi Top DS 25.
Doors and drawer fronts are removed and professionally spray finished in our workshop.
We pay particular attention to achieving a consistent finish across the entire kitchen, ensuring the sprayed doors and hand-painted fixed cabinetry complement one another.
The result is a beautifully refreshed kitchen without the expense and disruption of replacing the original cabinetry.
Smallbone Kitchen Transformations Across the North West & Yorkshire
Over the years, we have had the opportunity to work on some exceptional Smallbone kitchens, helping homeowners update their interiors while retaining the quality and character of their original cabinetry.

Some of our projects include:
Prestwich, Greater Manchester
An expansive Smallbone kitchen accompanied by a statement freestanding dresser and dining furniture. The kitchen was transformed using Coat Paints’ The Good China, with the dresser finished in the dramatic shade 2AM.



Wiswell and Chipping, Ribble Valley
Beautiful rural Smallbone kitchens where dated timber finishes were given a new lease of life through carefully selected heritage-inspired colours, complementing the character and architectural detailing of the original furniture.



Liverpool, Merseyside
A substantial Smallbone kitchen showing signs of everyday wear. The project involved refreshing the cabinetry and restoring a clean, beautifully finished appearance.

Barnsley and Thurlstone, South Yorkshire
Traditional Smallbone kitchens transformed through carefully considered colour changes, giving the original bespoke cabinetry a completely refreshed appearance while retaining its distinctive character.


Each project is approached individually, with careful consideration given to the original kitchen, its surroundings and the homeowner’s chosen colour scheme.
