Kitchen Refurbishments
Not every tired kitchen needs a full replacement. A kitchen makeover keeps your existing, structurally sound cabinet carcasses in place and upgrades the elements that make the biggest visible difference -- doors, worktops, handles and fixtures -- at a significantly lower cost and with far less disruption.
Why Choose a Makeover Over Full Replacement
Replacing only what needs changing reduces both cost and waste compared with gutting a kitchen entirely. Most makeovers complete in just a few days rather than weeks, with far less disruption to your daily routine, while still delivering a genuinely transformed look.
What's Included
- Door and drawer front replacement: Made-to-measure doors and drawer fronts in contemporary, shaker or wood-finish styles
- Worktop upgrades: New solid wood, quartz, granite or laminate worktops -- or a budget-friendly overlay on your existing worktop
- Kitchen spray painting: Repaint and refinish existing wooden cabinet doors, drawers, panels and plinths in any colour
- Storage improvements: Pull-out larders, corner optimisers and bespoke cabinet interiors
- Comprehensive upgrades: New sinks, taps, lighting, handles and backsplashes to coordinate with your refreshed cabinetry

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Makeovers
How long does a kitchen makeover typically take?
Most makeovers complete within 3-5 working days -- simple door replacements can take as little as 1-2 days, while more comprehensive refurbishments including worktops may take 5-7 days.
Can I still use my kitchen during the makeover process?
In most cases yes -- we work in phases so you retain access to essential facilities wherever possible, unlike a full renovation which can leave a kitchen out of action for weeks.
Are kitchen makeovers worth it compared to full replacements?
Yes, if your existing layout works well and the cabinets are structurally sound -- a makeover typically costs significantly less than a full replacement while delivering a comparable visual transformation.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical work during refurbishments?
Yes -- our team includes qualified professionals for plumbing (new sinks and taps) and electrical work (lighting and appliances), all compliant with current regulations.
