Kitchen Makeover or a New Kitchen? How to Choose

If your cabinets are still solid, you may not need a whole new kitchen. A makeover keeps your cabinets and replaces what you see: the doors, drawer fronts, worktops and sink. It can make a tired kitchen look brand new, for less money and less mess.

A makeover may suit you if…

• Your cabinets are sound, dry and not falling apart.
• You are happy with the layout.
• You want a fresh look without a full rip-out.
• You want the job done faster, with less disruption.

A new kitchen may suit you if…

• Your cabinets are damaged, swollen or worn out.
• You want to change the layout, or you have a new extension.
• You want more storage, like larder pullouts or Le Mans corner units.
• You want everything new, from the cabinets to the appliances.

How much does a kitchen makeover cost?

Most makeovers cost about £1,000 to £5,000, depending on how much you change. Here is a rough guide for new doors and fitting, with our cheapest door. The door price includes the end panels, cornice, pelmet and plinths needed to finish the kitchen.

New worktops, a sink, appliances or a dearer door style add to this. Most makeovers are fitted in just 1 to 3 days.
