Your kitchen might not need replacing at all.

If the boxes behind the doors are sound, you are looking at a refurbishment, not a refit. Same layout, same plumbing, a kitchen that looks brand new.

  • Replacement doors, drawer fronts and end panels
  • New worktops templated and fitted
  • Hinges, runners and soft-close mechanisms
  • Professional door resprays in any colour

What We Fix

The boxes are usually fine. It is the doors you are sick of.

A kitchen carcass is a box. If it is square, dry and solid, it has decades left. What dates a kitchen is the doors, the worktop and the handles, and all three can be changed without ripping anything out.

Kitchen refurbished by replacing only the doors and worktop, with the original cabinet carcasses, layout and plumbing left in place
Keep the boxes, change everything you seeDoors, worktop, handles and hinges are all replaceable. The plumbing and electrics stay where they are, which is where most of the cost and disruption of a full refit sits.

Replacement Doors And Fronts

Made to your existing cabinet sizes in any style and colour. The single biggest visual change available.

Made to measure

New Worktops

Templated on site in quartz, laminate or solid timber, fitted to the cabinets you already have.

Templated on site

Water-Damaged Worktops

Swelling around the sink cut-out is the most common kitchen failure we see. Usually a worktop job, not a kitchen job.

Common fix

Hinges And Soft-Close

Doors that hang crooked or bang shut. Blum and Hettich hinges are a straight swap on standard cup holes.

Straight swap

Drawer Runners

Drawers that stick, drop or will not close. Full-extension soft-close runners replace worn ones.

Full extension

Professional Resprays

Existing doors sprayed in any colour to a factory finish. The cheapest way to change a kitchen completely.

The Honest Answer

Refurbish or replace? The carcass decides.

We survey the carcasses first and tell you straight. If a refurbishment will not last, we will say so rather than sell you one.

Common Questions

Kitchen repair questions we get asked

Can I just replace the doors and keep the rest?

Yes, provided the carcasses are sound. We measure every door and drawer front, order to your exact sizes, and fit new hinges at the same time. It is the single biggest change you can make for the money.

Will new doors fit my existing cabinets?

In most cases yes. Standard cabinet widths have been consistent for years. We measure at the assessment and confirm before ordering. Occasionally an older kitchen uses a non-standard size, and we will tell you if that is the case.

My worktop has swollen around the sink. Does the whole kitchen need doing?

Almost never. Water getting into an unsealed cut-out is the most common kitchen failure we see, and it is a worktop replacement rather than a kitchen replacement. We seal the new cut-out on all faces so it does not happen again.

Is spraying the doors as good as new ones?

A professional spray gives a factory-quality finish and is the cheapest way to change the colour completely. New doors make sense if you also want to change the style, the profile or the size.

How long does a kitchen refurbishment take?

Most door and worktop jobs are two to four days on site. A full refit is typically two to three weeks, which is why refurbishing is worth considering if the boxes are sound.

Do you charge for the assessment?

No. A designer visits, opens the cupboards, checks the carcasses and gives you a clear quote. No obligation.
