What Is Kitchen Door Replacement & Refacing?
Kitchen refacing is the replacement of doors, drawer fronts, end panels, plinths and cornices while retaining the existing unit carcasses. It changes everything you see and touch, leaving the boxes that hold it all up in place.
Whether it is worth doing comes down to one thing: the condition of the carcasses. If the bases are dry, the shelves are flat and the units are still true, refacing is excellent value. If the sink base has swollen or the hinges have pulled out of soft chipboard, refacing puts new doors on a failing frame.
Is Kitchen Door Replacement & Refacing Right for You?
- Kitchens under about 20 years old with sound units and a dated look
- Anyone whose layout works and who does not want to lose it
- Landlords refreshing a rental without a full refit
- Households wanting the kitchen changed in days rather than weeks
A refacing project typically takes 2 to 5 working days, and the kitchen stays usable for most of it.

What Actually Decides Whether This Works
The carcass test is not negotiable
We open every unit, check the base under the sink, and test the hinge fixings. If the boxes will not take another decade, we will tell you to replace rather than reface — even though refacing is the easier sale.
Bespoke doors fit older kitchens
Kitchens more than fifteen years old often use sizes no catalogue offers any more. With joinery in-house we can make fronts to any size, which is what makes refacing possible on older kitchens at all.
Change the worktop at the same time
New doors against a worn worktop only draws attention to the worktop. Doing both together costs far less than doing them a year apart.
What Does Kitchen Door Replacement & Refacing Cost?
Prices depend on the room, the specification and how much of the existing layout changes. Every quote we give is fixed and in writing after a home visit — we do not price from photographs, because that is where surprise costs come from.

Guides Worth Reading Before You Start
Kitchen Worktop Materials Compared: Which Should You Choose?
There is no best worktop material, only the right one for how a household actually cooks. Quartz is the most practical all-rounder and resists almost everything except direct heat. Granite handles heat but needs sealing. Porcelain resists everything but chips at the edges. Solid wood is the warmest and the highest maintenance. Laminate is far better than its reputation and is the only material with no lead time.
Read the guideQuestions to Ask a Kitchen Fitter Before You Book
Ask a kitchen fitter four things above all: will you survey the room before I order, is fitting quoted separately from supply, who does the electrics and plumbing, and how are the worktops jointed. Most kitchen disasters trace back to one of those four.
