Show kitchen respray customers the colour change before they say yes
Turn a customer’s existing kitchen photo into a visual respray proposal, then send a professional quote they can review and approve online — all without printing a single sample door.
The problem usually isn’t price — it’s whether they can picture the new colour
Most kitchen respray customers like the idea of refreshing their existing units. The hesitation comes later: “Will light grey actually suit my worktop? Will cream wash out next to those tiles? Will the room still feel like our kitchen, or completely different?”
A small painted door sample on a worktop only tells half the story. The customer is trying to imagine the entire room repainted, with their existing flooring, lighting, splashback and worktops — all from a colour swatch about the size of their hand.
A visual mock-up uses their own kitchen photo with the new colour applied. It doesn’t replace samples, but it gives the customer something they can actually look at, share with their partner, and come back to before agreeing.
Three example colour-change mock-ups from your customer’s perspective
Each visual is built from a single “before” photo of the existing kitchen. The respray quote sits inside the same PDF, so the customer reviews the colour, the scope and the price together.
These are illustrative AI sales mock-ups, not measured surveys, technical drawings or guaranteed colour matches. Always confirm exact paint codes from a sample on the actual unit before order — the mock-up is there to help the customer make a decision, not to specify the finish.
Example 1 — curved oak doors in a softer cream
Use this kind of example to show that the existing door profile stays the same — only the colour changes. Helpful when the customer assumes a respray means rebuilding the kitchen.

Try yourself — create your own mock-up in 60 secondsAdd an image and get a design back. No registration needed.
Demonstrates a high-contrast colour change for traditional oak units. Lets the customer compare the old kitchen and the proposed finish side by side, on the same room.

Example 3 — slab-door wood kitchen resprayed in light grey
Useful for handle-less / slab-door kitchens — shows the customer the door profile is preserved exactly, only the colour changes. Strong reassurance for owners of relatively modern kitchens who want a refresh without a refit.

Why visual quotes help kitchen respray companies win confidence faster
Resprays are a colour-led decision. Customers who can’t picture the result will keep stalling, asking for more samples or going quiet for weeks while they think about it. A visual mock-up turns that “I’m not sure” into a real conversation.
It also shifts the conversation away from price. When the quote PDF includes a clear before-and-after of their kitchen, the customer is comparing the proposal to a brand-new kitchen costing five times more — not to your number on its own.
And when the customer is ready, the quote includes everything they need to say yes: scope, prep detail, colour reference, total price, and an online button to approve. No printing, no posting, no delay.
How TailoredQuote works for a kitchen respray company
Add the respray details
Type or speak rough notes — door count, drawer fronts, prep, primer, top coats, finish (matt, satin, eggshell), spray vs hand-finish.
Upload the customer’s kitchen photo
A standard mobile photo from the survey is enough. The clearer the lighting, the cleaner the mock-up.
Generate the colour mock-up
The AI produces a visual of the same kitchen in the proposed colour. You can request up to 3 amendments to refine the look.
Send the quote for approval
Branded PDF with the visual built in, plus an online accept-and-sign button. Customer reviews, approves and you’ve got a clearer acceptance record before ordering paint.
Online quote acceptance
Once they can see the colour, make it easy for them to say yes
The visual sells the idea. The acceptance step closes it. TailoredQuote keeps the quote, the colour mock-up and the customer’s approval together in one record — clearer than scattered WhatsApp messages, verbal go-aheads or unsigned email confirmations.
Designed to support standard UK trade quote acceptance under the Electronic Communications Act 2000. Not intended for deeds, wills, land transfers or other documents requiring witnessed or notarised execution.

What’s built in for respray work
Six things that matter for spray-finishing a kitchen, included in every quote.
🎨
Show colour changes on existing units
The AI keeps the door profile, layout and lighting — only the colour shifts. Customers see their kitchen, not a stock photo.
🔬
Compare light, dark and premium finishes
Generate up to three colour variations on the same room so the customer can pick the one that suits their floor and worktop.
📝
Add prep, primer and finish details
Sand, degrease, fill, prime, base coat, top coats, dry times — the AI drafts the wording from your notes, you control the price.
📄
Before-and-after visuals in the PDF
The mock-up sits inside your branded quote PDF, not in a separate email attachment the customer has to dig out later.
✅
Customer approval before you start
Online accept-and-sign button gives a clearer record of what colour, scope and price were agreed — before paint hits the unit.
💰
Easier to upsell premium finishes
When the customer sees the matt eggshell finish and the spray-grade top coat side by side, the higher-spec option becomes a real conversation, not a price comparison.
The maths is straightforward
If one mock-up helps a hesitant customer say yes to one extra respray a month, TailoredQuote pays for itself many times over.
Resprays are typically a few thousand pounds of work. The software is a small fixed monthly cost.

Common exclusions to put on every kitchen respray quote
Resprays sit between “just paint” and a full kitchen refit, so customer expectations vary. Listing these on every quote prevents the awkward call after the fact.
Replacement of damaged door or drawer fronts (priced separately if needed)
Repair of swollen, water-damaged or peeled veneer units
Heavy degreasing beyond standard prep on heavily soiled units
Removal and refit of integrated appliances (oven, hob, dishwasher)
Worktop replacement, repair or refinishing
Splashback tiling, replacement or removal
Plumbing isolation or reconnection where required for full removal
Electrical isolation or reconnection of integrated under-cabinet lights
New handles, knobs or hinges (priced as a separate option)
Painting of walls, ceilings, skirting or coving (separate decoration quote)
Replacement of MDF or wooden doors that aren’t suitable for spray finishing
Exact colour matching to a specific paint code without a confirmed sample
Removal of asbestos or hazardous materials discovered behind units
Damp, mould or rot remediation behind units (separate trade required)
Out-of-area travel, restricted parking or access surcharges
Out-of-hours, weekend or expedited completion (POA)
Edit this list to fit your exact service offering before sending the first quote. The point is to set expectations early, not to copy ours word-for-word.
Frequently asked questions
Can I create mock-ups in different colours from the same photo?
Yes. From one customer photo you can generate the initial colour mock-up plus up to three amendments. That’s usually enough to compare a light, a mid and a darker option without having to start over.
Will the mock-up colour exactly match the paint we’ll spray?
No — treat the mock-up as an illustrative sales visual, not a colour-accurate proof. Real paint behaves differently across substrates, lighting and finishes. Always confirm the exact code from a physical sample on an actual unit before ordering. Most respray companies note this clearly on the quote.
Can I use this for doors-only resprays where the carcasses stay?
Yes. The mock-up doesn’t care whether the work is doors-only, full units or a mix. Your scope wording in the quote tells the customer what’s actually being sprayed, which areas stay original and which are excluded.
Can the customer approve the chosen colour online?
Yes. The quote PDF and the colour mock-up are in the same record. The customer reviews, signs on screen and you receive an emailed PDF showing what was accepted, when and by whom. It’s a clearer record than a verbal go-ahead or a thumbs-up over WhatsApp, and it’s available on every plan.
Will I still control the price, or does the AI guess that?
You set every price. The AI drafts professional wording for the scope (prep, primer, base coat, top coats, drying, reassembly) but you review and edit every line before the quote goes out. There are no hidden margins or surprise pricing rules.
Is this overkill for a one-person spray business?
No — it’s built for sole traders and small teams. The whole point is to skip the office admin: take the photo on site, generate the visual on your phone or laptop, send the quote, get the signature. The mock-up is the bit you couldn’t do before; the rest replaces a Word doc and a printer.
Also relevant: if you offer broader decorating alongside respray work, see our Painters & Decorators page for full-room decoration scope language. If you fit new kitchens as well, the Kitchen Fitters page covers full refits.
