Fed up with your kitchen but don't want to rip the whole thing out? You're not alone. Loads of Nottingham homeowners are saving thousands by changing just their kitchen doors.

We've been helping families in Nottingham and the surrounding areas update their kitchens for over 15 years. Our team knows how to transform tired kitchens into spaces you'll love spending time in again - without the mess, cost, or hassle of a full kitchen refit.

You might be surprised at what a difference new doors can make. A kitchen that looks brand new, at about a third of the cost of starting from scratch. And you can be back using your kitchen in a few days, not weeks.

Replacement Door Options

Whether you've got a modern flat-panel kitchen or something more traditional, we've got the right kitchen doors to match. Some of our most popular styles with Nottingham homeowners include:

Shaker style doors - timeless and work in almost any home
High-gloss doors - great for smaller kitchens in terrace houses near the city centre
Wood-grain effect - popular in the larger homes in West Bridgford and Beeston
Handleless doors - the top choice for modern flats and apartments
Glass-fronted doors - perfect for feature cabinets

We do standard sizes that fit most kitchens, or we can make doors exactly to measure for those awkward spaces.

Don't forget the drawer fronts too! We can match them perfectly to your new doors for a complete transformation.

Every kitchen in Nottingham is different, and we've seen (and solved) pretty much every kitchen door problem you can think of over the years.

Material and Quality Considerations

Cheap doors look... well, cheap. And they don't last. We only use proper materials that stand up to daily use.

Our doors are made from:

18mm MDF core for stability (no warping or bending)
Solid wood for traditional styles
Vinyl-wrapped MDF for modern designs
Proper sealing on all edges (even the bits you can't see)

The hinges make a big difference too. We use soft-close hinges as standard - they're a bit more expensive but so worth it. No more slamming doors!

Different parts of Nottingham have different styles of homes, and we've worked in them all. Victorian terraces in The Park need different solutions than modern homes in Ruddington, and we get that.

"The quality of the doors is amazing - they actually feel better made than our original kitchen that cost three times as much." - Samantha C., Mansfield

Measuring Process

Getting the measurements right is dead important. Even being a few millimeters off can mean doors that don't fit right.

That's why we offer a free measuring service throughout Nottingham and nearby areas like West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, and Ruddington.

Our Michael will come to your home, measure everything properly, and help you choose the best options for your space and budget. No obligation, no pressure.

If you're the DIY type, here's how to measure:

Measure the existing doors (not the cabinets)
Always measure in millimeters for accuracy
Check if doors are inset or overlay style
Note where the hinges are positioned
Check for any obstructions (walls, pipes, appliances)

Common mistakes include forgetting about corner cabinets (they need special attention) and not accounting for appliances that might get in the way of doors opening.

Installation Service

We can supply doors only if you want to fit them yourself, but most of our Nottingham customers choose our installation service. It's not expensive and means everything's done right.

"The young lad who fitted our doors was so tidy and careful. Honestly couldn't tell he'd been except for the gorgeous new kitchen!" - The Khan Family, Arnold

Our local installers understand the cabinet systems in Nottinghamshire homes - from 1980s council houses to brand new builds and everything in between.

Installation includes:

Removing old doors and hardware
Fitting new doors with soft-close hinges
Adjusting everything so it lines up perfectly
Adding new handles
Taking away all packaging and old doors
Final clean and check

For a standard Nottingham kitchen with 20 doors and drawer fronts, installation usually takes just one day. You can use your kitchen the same evening!

Cost Benefits

The numbers speak for themselves. A typical kitchen renovation in Nottingham costs £8,000-£15,000 or more. Replacing just the doors? Usually £1,500-£3,000 depending on size and materials.

That's a saving of up to 80%!

Plus, you save on:

Skip hire (no cabinets to throw away)
Worktop replacement (keep your existing ones)
Replastering and retiling (no damaged walls)
Takeaways (your kitchen is only out of action for a day or two)

We've helped hundreds of Nottingham homeowners get a kitchen they love without remortgaging their house.

A kitchen door replacement offers amazing value. It's not just cheaper - it's less wasteful too. Why rip out perfectly good cabinets if they're still solid?

Replacement Door Case Studies

1990s Kitchen Updated in West Bridgford

The Tibbins family had a typical 1990s kitchen - dark wood doors, brass handles, and a tired look. But the cabinets themselves were well-built and in good condition.

We replaced their doors with modern light grey shaker-style doors, added sleek brushed steel handles, and even managed to reuse their existing hinges to save money.

The whole job cost £2,300 including installation, compared to the £12,000 quote they'd received for a full kitchen replacement. And it only took two days from start to finish.

"It's like having a completely different kitchen. Friends ask if we've had a new kitchen and can't believe it when we say it's just the doors!" - Tibbins family, West Bridgford

Victorian Home Transformation in The Park, Nottingham

Period homes need special attention. This beautiful Victorian house in The Park had an outdated kitchen that didn't match the character of the home.

We fitted solid wood doors in a heritage style, with period-appropriate cup handles in antique brass. We also added glass-fronted doors to display the owner's collection of vintage china.

The transformation respected the age and style of the property while making the kitchen functional for modern living.

Compact Kitchen Renovation in Carlton

Small kitchens are tricky - you need to make the most of every inch. This Carlton flat had a tiny kitchen that felt cramped and dark.

We fitted gloss white handleless doors to bounce light around and make the space feel bigger. We also added some clever internal storage solutions to maximise the usable space.

The whole job cost just £1,700 but made the kitchen feel twice the size.

Complementary Services

While you're updating your doors, it's a good time to think about other quick upgrades that can make a big difference:

New handles - a simple change that has a big impact
Cabinet interiors - add drawers or organizers inside your cupboards
Worktop replacement - keep the cabinets but get a new worktop
Appliance integration - hide appliances behind matching doors
Cabinet resprays - for when you want to keep your existing doors but change the colour

We can handle any of these extras as part of your door replacement project. Just ask when we come to measure up.

How Much Does It Cost To Replace Kitchen Doors?

The million-dollar question! Or rather, the few-thousand-pound question. Every kitchen is different, but here's a rough guide:

Small kitchen (8-10 doors): £1,200-£1,800
Medium kitchen (15-20 doors): £1,800-£2,500
Large kitchen (25+ doors): £2,500-£3,500

What affects the price?

Door material and style (high gloss costs more than matte)
Size of your kitchen (more doors = more money)
Complexity (unusual shapes cost more)
Handleless designs (more complicated to fit)

Compared to the £10,000+ you might spend on a new kitchen, it's a bargain. And your kitchen will look just as good.

Can Replacement Kitchen Doors Fit Any Cabinet?

Usually, yes! Most kitchen cabinets in the Nottingham area are pretty standard sizes. We've worked with:

Howdens kitchens (very common in Nottingham)
B&Q kitchens
Wickes kitchens
IKEA kitchens
Magnet kitchens
And lots of others including custom-built ones

If you've got a really unusual cabinet system, we might need to make custom doors, but we can always find a solution.

Older properties in areas like the Lace Market or The Park sometimes have non-standard cabinets. No problem - we've got years of experience working with period properties.

How Do I Measure For Replacement Kitchen Doors?

If you're doing your own measuring:

Remove an existing door
Measure the height in mm (top to bottom)
Measure the width in mm (side to side)
Note if the door sits inside the cabinet frame or overlaps it
Mark where the hinges are attached
Repeat for every door (they might not all be the same size!)

Common mistakes:

Measuring the opening, not the door
Forgetting about overlap
Not accounting for corner cabinets
Rounding to nearest cm (always use mm)

If this sounds complicated, it can be! That's why our free measuring service is so popular with Nottingham homeowners. Let us handle the tricky bits.

How Long Does Kitchen Door Replacement Take?

Speed is one of the big advantages of door replacement vs a full kitchen refit.

Measuring: 1-2 hours
Door manufacturing: 2-3 weeks (we make them to order)
Installation: Usually 1 day, 2 at most for large kitchens

Factors that might extend the timeline:

Unusual door sizes or styles
Very large kitchens
Additional services like worktop replacement

Most of our Nottingham customers are amazed at how quick and painless the process is. Your kitchen stays functional throughout, except for the installation day.

The whole process is much faster than a full kitchen renovation, which typically takes 3-6 weeks when you factor in ripping out the old kitchen, plastering, electrical work, plumbing, and fitting the new one.
