Professional Assessment and Consultation
Evaluation of Cabinet Condition
Good touch-up work starts with really understanding the problem. Our team goes over your cabinets inch by inch. We look for every scratch, chip, dent, and dull spot. It’s not a quick glance from across the room. We inspect the whole thing up close. We figure out what caused the damage and make a plan. This step verifies that nothing gets missed. And so the repair blends in and stays looking good for years.
Tailored Recommendations
Once we’ve checked everything, we give you straight advice. We think about what your cabinets are made of, what kind of finish they have, and how your household actually uses the kitchen. A lot of painted surfaces look best with a semi-gloss finish—it just works in kitchens. We’ll tell you what approach fits your situation, whether that’s a precise color match or a clear coat to protect things.
Semi-Gloss: The Right Finish Matters
Here’s something people don’t think about much. The sheen level has to match, or the repair will stand out. It’s that simple. Most kitchen cabinets are done in semi-gloss. It handles moisture well, wipes down easy, and doesn’t show every fingerprint like high-gloss does.
Matching sheen is crucial when applying touch-up products. Put a flat paint on a semi-gloss door and you’ll notice that spot every time you walk by. That’s exactly why we test color and sheen on a hidden area of the cabinet first. You get to see how it looks before we touch anything visible. Peace of mind, no surprises.
Small Scratches: What We Do About Them
Small scratches happen to every kitchen. Rings catch on handles, pets get excited, kids do kid things. These little marks pile up, and suddenly your cabinets look beat up. The bright side? They’re usually simple to put right. Here’s how it goes when we show up.
For Deeper Dents and Gouges
Sometimes a scratch isn’t really a scratch. If you’ve got a dent or gouge in stained wood cabinets, paint alone won’t cut it. We use wax fill sticks for these. The wax fills up the hole, and we can texture it to match the grain around it. You’ll have a hard time finding where the damage was.

Our Process for Small Scratch Repair
We start by getting things clean. A degreaser takes off all the grease and food residue that builds up on cabinets. The surface has to be clean and dry, or nothing will stick right.
Then we do a little light sanding on the damaged spot. We’re not stripping anything down to bare wood. Just roughing up the area a touch so the new product grabs on and blends in.
For small scratches, a 50ml touch-up paint is usually all we need. We apply it with a fine brush—that’s the trick to making things blend instead of looking like a patch job.
Once the color looks right, a thin clear coat goes on top. This step protects the surface and brings back the shine.
The paint we use dries quick. You won’t be stuck out of your kitchen waiting. Things get back to normal fast.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you actually match the color on my cabinets?
Yes. We test everything on a spot you can’t see before we work on visible areas. That way we know the color and sheen are right.
How do you prep cabinets before touching them up?
Clean and dry, always. Degreaser gets the grime off. On painted surfaces, we do a light sanding so the new product sticks. Nothing crazy.
What if there's a deep gouge, not just a scratch?
For stained wood, wax fill sticks do the job. We fill the dent, then texture the wax so it looks like the wood around it. Works really well.
Will the spot be protected after you're done?
Yeah. After the color goes on, we add a thin clear coat. That locks everything in and brings back an even shine across the whole door.
Is it really cheaper than repainting everything?
Way cheaper. You’re only fixing the spots that need it. A 50ml touch-up paint handles small repairs just fine. Less material, less time, less waiting.
