Made to Measure Replacement Doors & Kitchen Refresh
New Shaker doors on the existing carcasses, in Corsham.
If your kitchen's carcasses are sound and the layout works, you may not need to replace it. New doors and drawer fronts can transform its appearance while keeping what already works.
I supply and fit standard and made-to-measure replacement doors in Shaker, slab and J-pull styles. You can easily add new worktops, a sink, tap and better storage, without the disruption of replacing the whole kitchen.
What’s included
- Replacement kitchen doors and drawer fronts
- Factory-painted, or professionally sprayed, Shaker, slab and J-pull doors
- New worktops in quartz, granite or timber
- New sink, tap, handles and improved lighting
- Better storage: pan drawers, pull-outs & swing-outs
- Repairs to existing carcasses where needed
Who it suits
- Kitchens roughly 10-25 years old with a layout you're happy with
- Homes where a long, disruptive rebuild simply isn't welcome
- Budgets that need to go further without looking like a compromise
Timescales
Most refreshes are surveyed, made and fitted within a few weeks, with usually only a few days of work in your home. This is a guide only and depends on availability, materials and the scope of the work.
New replacement doors
New Shaker doors, same sound kitchen
A worn kitchen in Corsham with sound carcasses. 24 new Shaker-style doors and matching panels, in standard and custom sizes, two new units to fill the gaps, and quartz worktops brought it up to date. See the Corsham project.
Respray the doors you have
EXISTING SHAKER DOORS, SPRAYED
Alternatively, keep the doors you have and have them professionally sprayed. These Shaker doors in Highworth were sprayed in Farrow & Ball Vert de Terre, with new worktops, sink and tap. See the Highworth project.
Solid oak doors
NEW OAK SHAKER DOORS, SAME CARCASSES
Twenty new solid oak Shaker doors in Devizes, most in standard sizes with some made to measure, on the existing cabinets, with new quartz worktops, sink and tap. See the Devizes project.

J-pull doors in Brinkworth
New green J-pull doors, Dekton worktops and LED lighting on the existing carcasses. See the Brinkworth project.
From the first visit to fitting
One person, from design to installation
A free home design visit
I look at your carcasses, doors and worktops and tell you plainly what can be kept and what needs repairing first.
Measured, made and quoted
Doors and drawer fronts are measured on site, in standard sizes or made to measure, and you get a written, itemised price before anything is ordered.
Fitted by the same person
I hang the doors, project manage the worktops and make the adjustments myself, usually over a few days, so the kitchen you agreed is the kitchen you get.
WAYS TO REFRESH A KITCHEN
- Replacement cupboard doors and drawer fronts. Measured to your existing cabinets, in the style and colour you choose - standard sizes or made to measure. From £6,000 to £10,000 fitted for a typical 15-door kitchen.
- Kitchen spraying. Keep the doors you have and have them professionally sprayed in any colour. From £120 to £150 per removable item. See kitchen spraying and respraying.
- Worktops, sinks and taps. Quartz, granite or timber. Laser templated and professionally installed, from £5,000 to £8,000.
- Handles, hinges and lighting. New handles, soft-close hinges and LED lighting, from £300 to £600 fitted.
- Storage improvements. Pan drawers and pull-outs retrofitted into cabinets you already own.
- Added cabinetry. New units, an island or a dresser made in my Corsham workshop to match.
A complete refresh, with everything above, typically runs from £15,000 to £20,000. See the full kitchen cost guide.
Included in any refresh
BETTER STORAGE INSIDE THE CABINETS
A refresh is the natural moment to sort out what's inside the cabinets. Corners you never open, deep cupboards where things get lost, a larder you have to empty to reach the back of: none of it needs a new kitchen to fix.
- Pull-out larders that bring everything forward into view, so nothing hides at the back
- Swing-out and corner mechanisms that make awkward corner units genuinely usable
- Internal drawers and organisers that keep the worktops clear
- Integrated bin and recycling systems hidden neatly inside a cabinet
The mechanisms come from the world's leading German manufacturer of in-cabinet fittings, and everything is designed during your Home Design Visit around how you actually cook. Fitted as part of the refresh, it's often the change you notice most from day one.

Yes, and it is the most popular thing I do. If the carcasses are sound and the layout works, replacement doors and drawer fronts change the whole look of the room for from £6,000 to £10,000 fitted for a typical 15-door kitchen. That range runs from an introductory door style at the lower end to a premium finish at the top. A full refresh with new worktops, sink, tap and better storage typically runs from £15,000 to £20,000 fitted.
Doors are measured on site so they fit your existing cabinets properly, then hung with new soft-close hinges.
