Replacement Kitchen Doors & Refacing in Worksop & North Derbyshire

If the carcasses are sound, replacing doors, drawer fronts and worktops gives you a new-looking kitchen for a fraction of the cost — and a fraction of the disruption.

What Is Replacement Kitchen Doors & 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.

Who it suits

Is Replacement Kitchen Doors & 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 Decides Whether Replacement Kitchen Doors & Refacing Works in Your Home?

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.

Which door styles and finishes can you choose?

Replacement kitchen doors come in every style a new kitchen does: shaker and in-frame looks, flat slab doors, handleless J-pull fronts, gloss or matt finishes, painted colours from white and cream to grey, blue and green, and oak or other wood veneers. Barbers Bathrooms & Kitchens fits them made to measure for your existing units, with matching drawer fronts, end panels, plinths and new handles so the finished kitchen looks complete rather than patched.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Replacement Kitchen Doors & Refacing

Is refacing a kitchen worth it?
Refacing is worth it when the carcasses are sound, the layout works and only the appearance is dated — it typically costs a fraction of a new kitchen and takes days rather than weeks. It is not worth it where units have water damage, dropped shelves or failing hinge fixings, because you are investing in a frame that is already going. We check the units before recommending either route.
Can you match doors for an older kitchen?
Yes. Kitchens over about fifteen years old often use unit sizes no current range matches, which is where in-house joinery matters — we can make fronts to any dimension and any profile. Where a standard range does fit, we will use it, because it is usually the cheaper option.
Can I keep my existing worktop?
Yes, though it is worth thinking hard about. New doors alongside a worn worktop tends to highlight the worktop rather than hide it, and doing both at the same visit costs considerably less than doing them separately. If the worktop is in good condition, keeping it is perfectly sensible.
Can you just replace kitchen doors?
Yes. Replacing only the doors and drawer fronts is exactly what refacing is, and it is the quickest way to change how a kitchen looks when the units behind are still sound. Most people also change the handles, end panels and plinths at the same time so every visible surface matches. We check the carcasses first, because new doors on units that are failing is money wasted.
Can you fit replacement doors I have bought from B&Q or another supplier?
Yes, provided they are the right sizes for your units. Doors from B&Q, Wickes, Howdens or an online made-to-measure supplier all fit the same way, but older kitchens often use sizes current ranges no longer make, so measure twice or let us measure before you order. Where a size is not available, our joiners can make the odd front to match.
How much does it cost to replace kitchen doors?
The cost depends on how many doors and drawer fronts there are, the style and finish you choose, and whether worktops, handles and end panels change at the same time. It is a fraction of the price of a new kitchen because the units, plumbing and electrics all stay. We measure up at a free home survey and give you a fixed written price, with the doors and the fitting shown separately.
How long is the kitchen out of use?
Very little. Doors and drawer fronts are swapped unit by unit, so the kitchen stays broadly usable throughout. If worktops are being changed at the same time, expect the sink to be disconnected for part of one day. Most customers cook normally through a refacing job.
