Replacement kitchen doors

Recommended Posts

We are looking to buy a house and the kitchen has rather dark wood doors and if we are successful we would like to replace them with something lighter. The worktops are good, solid marble so we would like to keep them hence replacement rather than rip out and replace.

Is it a DIY job or better to use a joiner or specialist firm? Any other information or things I have not thought about?

Muchas gracias!

There does seem to be a trend of painting the existing doors. I don't know if that's an option?

It was and may be the first thing we do, along with other decorating, as Covid has sent prices and availability all to 🐓 but just as an interim measure and something to occupy us with during wet days

If theyre fairly modern units the doors will just unclip from the hinges. Many are of a standard size if this is the case, and come in a variety of colours and mouldings, and easily replaced. 

you can remove doors   blender panels   plinths etc  and have them resprayed to any colour  or limed  to lighten   you will need someone who sprays furniture / timber  as methods and paint  is different than bodywork     there are companies who do this kind of work

There's a company in Sheffield that will make doors to your exact specifications, including hinge holes etc. Then it's a simple swap over. There's probably similar local to you. We were looking at online places a few years ago, the prices weren't too bad at £20-30 a door, probably more these days though

You could just paint doors but do prep properly.Replacing doors and handles/hinges is an easy job if you're kitchen is modern current sizing.

 

One of our friends did this and did a great job, she also did the work tops.

Again thank you for all the advice, we appreciate all your input.
