Kitchen cupboards peeling - how to fix?

6 replies

Hi

Looking for advice please - we are wanting to put our place on the market but before we can do so we need to do something about our kitchen cupboards. The laminate has started peeling off the cupboards (made from particle board). I don’t think we can reglue it and due to the pattern, I am not sure we can just relaminate ourselves.
It’s only 2 cupboards affected, the rest of the kitchen cupboards are fine, we’re thinking they could just do with a repaint.
Really don’t want to have to replace all the kitchen cupboards.

Any suggestions?

See if you can get replacement doors.

When I was looking at kitchens I found that you can just get replacement doors.

Depending on whether you can get an exact match, where the cupboards are and their position you may have to replace more than just those doors. So you may have to replace all top cupboard doors or all bottom unless the cupboard is in a corner or more standalone.

You already have the handles so you would just put those on the new doors.

Just Google "replacement kitchen doors" and then post a thread asking people's experiences of particular companies.

I peeled the laminate off the ones in my utility (weren't like that though, just came a bit loose - have they been under a kettle/toaster?) and the bloke I'm seeing spray painted them - he said "British racing green or TVR purple?", I pulled a face and we settled on something cream.
They looked REALLY good, but he used car spraying equipment and paint and got a really good finish.
There were only 2 doors in there so not too much hassle to do.

It is unlikely you will find an exact Match for the doors, but would it work if you got glass doors and turn the cabinet into a display cupboard?

Or just leave the doors off and have open shelving.

It looks like the vinyl wrap coming off your MDF. Some of the replacement door companies have loads of routered panel doors like this and will make you them to measure.
