Why replace cabinet doors?

A kitchen refurb doesn’t always need a full renovation. Rather than gutting the whole room, simply swapping out your cabinet doors can bring about a big change while saving both time and money.

Cost-effective solution

One of the biggest advantages of replacing only the cabinet fronts is financial. A complete kitchen overhaul in the UK often costs £8,000 to £30,000 or more, depending on size, finishes and labour. Replacing cabinet doors is much cheaper, as you keep the existing carcasses and structure.

Quick and easy installation

Changing cabinet doors is a relatively simple and efficient job. The new doors are designed to fit onto your current frames, so no major carpentry is needed and many homeowners can manage to complete the swap-over themselves. For those looking for a kitchen refurb, there are firms that supply a wide selection of cabinet door products and styles.

Style and finish choices

Replacing doors opens up a lot of design flexibility. You can choose different materials, textures, colours, hardware or styles – whether you like sleek, modern doors, classic shaker styles, or something more rustic.

Reduced waste and faster update

The cabinet carcasses stay in place so there is less waste to dispose of. Also, the work is faster so you can enjoy your refreshed kitchen much sooner than with a full renovation.

Preserve your kitchen layout

If the placement of your cabinets, plumbing, electrics and workflow already suit you, there’s no need to redesign everything. Replacing the doors gives your kitchen a brand new look while keeping the functional layout that works well.
