Kitchen respray quote

Hi we are looking to get our kitchen doors resprayed we’ve so far had one quote for 19 doors / drawers and the surrounds. It’s £2350 including everything. We are trying to arrange other quotes but wondered if anyone else has had this done and if this quote is fair.

    I don't think I spent that much on my new IKEA kitchen with wooden doors.
    I don't see how spraying 20 doors can take more than a day and cost even close to £2.3K.

    It may depend on what they are spraying on to. What material, what shape and what colour the original and the end result. If they have to take them away to workshops.
    It sounds a lot but that is 19 pieces to be removed, prepared, sprayed at least twice if not 3 times with the wait for them to dry and then refixing. And the paint and equipment isn't cheap then there's the labour and time.
    I'd definitely get some other quotes and see how it pans out but I'm thinking there won't be a massive difference. Perhaps some saving though

    How much would new doors be?
    But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,
    Had the whole of their cash in his care.

    Price is very high. https://www.cheshireupvccoatings.co.uk/how-much-does-it-cost-to-spray-paint-kitchens-cabinets/
    As you can see in the link how it is done they do not remove anything off site and only takes a day. £2350 for a days work, dam I'm in the wrong job.
