My bloody kitchen laminate cupboards!!

[Tiptoptum]

So,

When I moved in there was a really nice Howdens kitchen, but the two cupboard doors that face the sun have lifted and split. This is a reasonably new kitchen (I think 4 years)

Howden have discontinued the colour, so my plan to buy two new doors is gone.

I thought of rewrapping, but most companies won’t do two doors, they want to do the whole kitchen (which I would love to do but I can’t afford it) and again, I’m not sure that they would match the colour exactly.

A couple of places have said they can take the doors, strip the laminate off, sand them and paint them to the exact colour/sheen/look of the other cabinets.

Has anyone had this done?? I can’t see how they can, with paint, recreate the vinyl/laminate look (they are Matt not high gloss) and I’m worried I will spend @£300 for two painted doors that frankly look shit!

Really I’d like the whole kitchen rewrapped but I really don’t think I can afford it, but these two doors are an issue as soon they are going to start to peel I think.

They assure me that a computer will match it exactly

How many doors in total have you got? It might work out cheaper just to buy new doors rather than mess about wrapping/painting the existing ones.

Swap 2 for blue and add blue accessories /paint....

Can you get one with frosted glass so they’re different but deliberately different?

This is what I was going to suggest.

Have a look on eBay. You might find a direct replacement

Unfortunately the door colour has been discontinued, which is a bugger.

I had thought about glass, there ia glass door, these two doors and then a wine fridge, so I’m a bit concerned that it will look unbalanced if you get me?

It’s really frustrating that they don’t do it anymore, as at first glance it seemed really easy to fix, but now it’s not
