If your cabinets are still solid but the doors have gone dated, chipped or just aren't your taste any more, changing the doors is often all a kitchen needs. Our replacement door service is measured, made and fitted by the same joinery team behind Nottingham Kitchen Fitter's bespoke kitchens, so the same soft-close hinges, sealed edges and careful fit you'd get on a full kitchen apply whether you're changing five doors or fifty.
What's Included in a Door Replacement, and What Costs Extra
- A free home visit to measure every door in millimetres and talk through styles, colours and budget
- Made-to-measure or standard-size doors and matching drawer fronts, in shaker, high-gloss, wood-grain, handleless or glass-fronted styles
- Removal and disposal of old doors, hinges and packaging
- Fitting of new doors with soft-close hinges, adjusted so they hang square and close properly
- New handles fitted to match the new doors
- A final clean and check before the job is signed off
Not Included / Costed Separately
- Worktop replacement - available as a separate job if you want it, but not part of a standard door swap
- Cabinet interior organisers or drawer inserts, which are quoted separately
- Appliance integration behind matching doors, possible but priced as an extra
- A full cabinet respray, which is a different service for doors you want refinished rather than replaced
- Custom-made doors for unusual or older cabinet carcasses, which typically cost more than standard sizing
- Doors supplied without fitting, for customers who'd rather install them themselves - most choose to have us fit them
How a Door Replacement Actually Runs, Start to Finish
- Book a free home visit -- A member of the team comes to measure every door and drawer front in millimetres, checks how the hinges are set, and talks through styles, colours and budget with no obligation to book anything.
- Choose your doors and finish -- You pick from styles such as shaker, high-gloss, wood-grain or handleless, plus matching handles and drawer fronts, based on what suits the property and how the kitchen gets used.
- Doors are made to order -- Nothing comes off a shelf - doors are manufactured to the exact measurements taken on site, which usually takes 2-3 weeks before they're ready to fit.
- Fitting day -- Old doors, hinges and packaging are removed, new doors are hung with soft-close hinges and adjusted until they sit square, and new handles are fitted - a typical kitchen is done in a day, larger jobs in two.
- Final check and sign-off -- Every door and drawer is opened and closed to check the fit before the team leaves, with the site cleaned up and old doors taken away.
What a Door Replacement Costs
Expect to pay from around £1,200 for a small kitchen, rising to £2,500 or more for a medium-sized one, depending on how many doors and drawer fronts you need, the style you pick (handleless and high-gloss finishes generally cost more than a standard shaker) and whether any cabinets turn out to have non-standard carcasses that need made-to-measure rather than standard-size doors. These figures are a general guide - the free home visit is where the actual number gets confirmed, since it's the only way to measure every door accurately and spot anything that'll affect price before doors go into manufacture.
Door Replacement, Respray or Full Kitchen: How the Options Compare
| Door Replacement | Cabinet Respray | Full Kitchen Replacement | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | From around £1,200 for a small kitchen up to £2,500+ for a medium one | Usually the cheapest option, since the existing doors and cabinets are reused rather than replaced | £8,000-£15,000 or more for a full renovation |
| What happens on site | Old doors removed and new made-to-measure doors and drawer fronts fitted with soft-close hinges | Existing doors sprayed in situ with airless spraying technology and dust-free extraction, colour-matched to the finish you want | Cabinets, worktops and often the plumbing and electrics are stripped out and replaced |
| Time to complete | 2-3 weeks to make the doors, then a day or two to fit | No manufacturing wait, since it's a respray rather than new doors | 3-6 weeks once demolition, plastering and trades are factored in |
| Best suited to | Solid cabinets you're happy to keep, just wanting a new door style or colour | Structurally sound timber or laminate doors that only need a fresh factory-grade finish | Cabinets that are worn out, water-damaged, or a layout that needs to change |
Why Nottingham Homeowners Trust Us With Just the Doors
A lot of door-only jobs go wrong at the hinge line: old boring positions rarely line up exactly with a new door spec, so if whoever's fitting hasn't built cabinetry from scratch, doors end up sitting slightly proud, catching on the frame, or closing with a bang instead of pulling shut properly. We put the same City & Guilds trained joiners who build our made-to-measure kitchen cabinetry onto every door replacement, which is why hinges get reset properly rather than packed out to make do. Over 20 years of fitting kitchens across Nottingham and the wider East Midlands, on more than 800 projects, has meant measuring our way around most cabinet quirks already - flush inset styles, older carcasses that don't match today's standard sizing, drawer boxes that were never quite square to begin with.
Every job comes with a full written agreement before work starts, so there are no surprise costs once fitting day arrives, plus a 5-year guarantee on the labour and installation and a 2-year guarantee on the doors themselves. We're a family-run business, not a national chain, and members of the Construction Industry Training Board and the Federation of Small Businesses, so the people quoting your job are the same team turning up to fit it.
Where We Fit Replacement Kitchen Doors
Door replacement is where cabinet quirks show up fastest, and it's the older housing stock in Sneinton and the Lace Market that throws up the most non-standard carcasses we see on this job - units built before doors came in today's standard sizes, which is exactly why the free measuring visit matters more here than it does on a newer estate. It catches those sizing quirks before the doors get made, not after. We're just as regularly on site in West Bridgford, Wollaton, Beeston and Arnold, and the same measuring approach travels out further afield too: Nottinghamshire towns such as Mansfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Stapleford, and across into Derbyshire as far as Derby, Long Eaton, Alfreton and Heanor, roughly a 15-20 mile radius stretching towards Chesterfield.
