Thinking about changing kitchen unit doors etc instead of full refurb.

We need to do this
My work tops are solid wood and the cabinets and planning are great, just the doors need changing. I keep debating doing this myself if we carefully measure

My word of warning is to measure every single cupboard before going to an off the peg version. A friend missed one ... and you guessed it, it didnt fit!

Lucky you, I'd love all my doors etc changed but the dog would be better at DYI than my DH

Yes, we went to the showroom in Wigan a couple of times. I think there are others around the country.

could you have your existing doors etc painted? Done professionally this looks as good as a new kitchen.

I painted my cupboard doors and changed the handles which made such a difference.

Thanks both re the painting suggestion.

Following! We are looking to do similar early next year!

Painted ours, first a duck egg blue about 3 years ago. Then have just changed to a light grey. Anyone that has seen it asks when did you get the new doors. Total cost about £20 each time and a day of my time.

Did you have to rub the doors down etc & did you need special paint?
