Replacing kitchen doors

Just wondering if anyone's replaced just their kitchen cupboards? Mine are on their last legs but the cupboards and worktops are ok. How much did it cost and what company did you use? Just want a slab or shaker style neutral door, no thing fancy.

In the process of doing mine.

Been quoted £650 for the doors (12), drawers (5) with holes for hinges and some extra panels/kickboard replacements.

Worktops, sink and tap replacement more expensive at about £2500, but they are a bit fancy (quartz).

@GasPanic
Did this include fitting?

We have just viewed a house with a great kitchen but the doors aren't to our taste. No point in scrapping the kitchen so this sounds like an ideal solution. Did you use a national company?

@Fancysauce have you gone further with this?

Thanks

No this was fitting by yourself. It's realtively easy though.

Replacing the doors is largely trivial. Just undo a few screws and then screw the new ones in.

The difficult bit is finding a way to deal with all the other stuff, trims etc. Most businesses will offer solutions for this, but not sure how easy it is to make the final result look perfect.

My kitchen for example it is not really the doors that are the problem. It's the internal surfaces around things like the dishwasher and the sink, actually behind the doors. These absorb water and swell over time, so you need to figure out some way of repairing, replacing, or covering over these. I am going to use a combination of new wood/trim and waterproof tape.

I’m considering this too. I can’t face a whole new kitchen and the layout storage etc is fine but the doors are past their best. I can’t work out what’d happen with side panels, kickboards etc. we would also want to keep our worktops and appliances.

have any if you investigated further and if so who are you using?
