Cabinet Refacing & Kitchen Door Replacement

Keep your existing layout, transform the look. New doors and hardware installed in 3–5 days — at 50–60% of the cost of a full kitchen replacement.

If your kitchen carcasses are structurally sound but the doors and handles look dated, cabinet refacing is the most cost-effective transformation available. We replace every visible surface — doors, drawer fronts, handles, and end panels — while leaving the existing framework in place. The result is a kitchen that looks completely new, for a fraction of full replacement cost.

Our door range includes classic shaker, contemporary slab, handleless J-pull, and painted in-frame styles across a full palette of colours — from timeless Farrow & Ball-inspired shades to bold modern tones. All doors are fitted with Blum soft-close hinges as standard, which immediately upgrades the day-to-day feel of the kitchen. Vinyl-wrapped options are available for a hardwearing, wipe-clean finish; painted MDF doors offer a more traditional look. We also replace visible end panels, plinths, and cornice in matching material.

Cabinet refacing typically costs 50–60% less than a full kitchen replacement and is completed in 3–5 days with minimal disruption. Your kitchen remains broadly usable throughout the process. It is an ideal option for tenants upgrading a rental property, homeowners refreshing before sale, or anyone who simply wants a new look without the upheaval of a full renovation. Starting from £3,000 for a standard kitchen door replacement and handle upgrade.
