Thinking about a new kitchen but not ready for the cost of a full refit? Replacement kitchen doors could be the answer. Instead of ripping out your entire kitchen, you simply change the doors, drawer fronts and visible panels keeping your existing carcasses in place. It's one of the most cost-effective ways to completely transform how your kitchen looks and feels.
Whether you call them replacement kitchen unit doors, new kitchen cabinet doors or just new kitchen cupboard doors, the idea is the same: swap out what you see and keep what works. The result is a fresh, updated kitchen at a fraction of the price of starting from scratch.
We specialise in made-to-measure panels and doors cut to your exact size, so whether you need to change kitchen doors on a standard unit or a completely custom setup, we can help. Take a look at our made-to-measure Shaker doors as a great starting point, or browse our sheet materials if you want to build something entirely bespoke.
Order doors raw and paint them yourself, primed and ready for a top coat or fully spray painted to any colour in matt or satin.
For a truly finished look, replace your drawer fronts at the same time as your doors.
When people replace kitchen cabinet doors, they often forget about the drawer fronts and then wonder why the finished result doesn't look quite right. For a truly cohesive, finished look, it's best to replace your kitchen doors and drawers at the same time.
Replacement kitchen drawer fronts are the visible faces that sit on the front of each drawer box. They're separate from the drawer box itself, which means they can be swapped out independently. Updating them alongside your new kitchen doors and drawer fronts means everything matches perfectly in colour, texture and style.
Our made-to-measure doors and panels are cut from the same materials, so your replacement kitchen cupboard doors and drawer fronts will always be a consistent match. Whether you're after kitchen doors and drawer fronts in a shaker style, solid colour or wood effect finish, we cut every piece to your exact measurements.
If you also need new drawer boxes, take a look at our furniture fittings range, which includes Blum drawer systems that pair perfectly with our door fronts.
When ordering, it helps to measure carefully. Note the height and width of each door and drawer front separately, as they're rarely the same size. If you're unsure, our team is happy to help — just give us a call.
Most kitchens aren't perfectly standard. Every door and drawer front we make is cut to your exact measurements, down to the millimetre.
One of the biggest challenges people face when they want to change kitchen cabinet doors is finding the right size. Most kitchens aren't perfectly standard. Units from brands like Howdens, Wren, Wickes and B&Q often have their own sizing and older kitchens can vary even more.
This is where made to measure replacement kitchen doors make a real difference. Rather than trying to find the nearest standard size and hoping it fits, you order each door to the exact millimetre. There are no gaps, no awkward overlaps and no compromises on the finish.
Every door and panel we produce is cut to your specification. Our boards cut to size service means you simply give us your measurements and we do the rest. Our Shaker doors can be made up to 2.7m tall and 0.9m wide, perfectly squared and built to last.
Bespoke replacement kitchen doors are also the best option when you have unusual gaps to fill, such as corner cabinets, tall larder units or custom-height wall units. For replacement kitchen doors made to measure, you don't need to worry about discontinued ranges or trying to match a style that's no longer sold.
If you want to order replacement kitchen cupboard doors made to measure but aren't sure how to measure correctly, take a look at our How to guides for step-by-step help.
We make doors to your measurements, so discontinued or hard-to-match ranges from Howdens, Wren, Wickes, IKEA and others are never a problem.
One of the most common questions we hear is: "Can I get replacement doors for my existing kitchen?" The answer is almost always yes even if the brand has discontinued the range you originally bought.
Howdens replacement kitchen doors are in high demand, particularly for discontinued ranges like the Burford. Wren replacement kitchen doors, Wickes replacement kitchen doors and B&Q replacement kitchen doors are similarly popular, because even relatively new kitchens can suffer damaged doors that are no longer available to buy directly from the retailer.
IKEA replacement kitchen doors are another common request. IKEA cabinets use standard sizing, which means replacement doors for IKEA kitchen units including older Faktum and Akurum ranges can often be made to match the original dimensions.
The good news is that because Cworkshop makes every door from scratch to your measurements, we're not limited by what's in stock at any particular retailer. Whether you need Magnet replacement kitchen doors to match an existing design, or symphony kitchen door replacements for discontinued units, we can cut new doors in a finish that closely matches your existing style.
If you need to match a specific colour, our spray painting service can colour-match to virtually any shade including Farrow & Ball, Dulux and RAL colours so your new doors blend seamlessly with any remaining originals.

Replacing just the doors and drawer fronts is one of the most budget-friendly ways to transform a kitchen.
The cost of replacing kitchen doors and worktops is almost always significantly less than a full kitchen renovation and that's one of the main reasons so many people choose this route. The exact cost of kitchen door replacement varies depending on a few key factors.
Material: MDF and melamine-faced chipboard are the most affordable options. Painted finishes and solid wood or veneered doors cost more.
Size: Larger doors cost more than smaller ones. Tall larder doors or wide pan drawer fronts will be priced accordingly.
Quantity: The more doors you need, the more the total adds up. Replacing just the doors is still far cheaper than new carcasses.
Finish: A basic cut panel is the most budget-friendly option. Adding spray painting or edge banding increases the price, but gives a much more complete result.
It's possible to find very cheap replacement kitchen doors, but quality can vary. Doors that aren't square, that use low-grade MDF or that have poorly finished edges will look worse and won't last as long. At Cworkshop, we use quality materials from brands like Egger, Kronospan and Cleaf and every panel is precision-cut using professional machinery.
For budget replacement kitchen doors that still look great, our melamine-faced board options are an excellent choice — particularly in wood-effect decors or solid colours. If you want a painted finish, ordering MDF panels with our spray painting service adds a factory-quality coat that's hard to replicate by hand. And because every door is made to your measurements, there's no waste.

Many people choose to buy new kitchen cabinet doors and fit them at home. If you're reasonably handy, fitting replacement kitchen cupboard doors is a manageable DIY job.

Mix light doors with a dark worktop for contrast
If you want to completely refresh your kitchen without the cost of a full refit, combining new kitchen doors and worktops is the most effective approach. Changing just the doors makes a big difference, but pairing them with a new worktop takes the transformation to another level.
New kitchen fronts and worktops together change everything you see at eye level and at counter height — which is essentially the entire kitchen experience. Done well, it can make a kitchen look and feel completely new.
When planning replacement kitchen doors and worktops, think about how the materials and colours will work together. Light doors with a dark worktop create contrast and drama. Matching tones — such as a wood-effect door with a matching or complementary wood-effect worktop — give a more seamless, contemporary feel.
At Cworkshop, our sheet materials range includes decors from brands like Egger, Kronospan, Cleaf and Xylo Surfaces, many of which are available in coordinating door and worktop-thickness formats. Our boards cut to size service means you can order both doors and worktop panels cut to your exact dimensions in one place.
Take time to measure every door and drawer front individually — heights and widths often vary even within the same kitchen.
Fitting replacement kitchen cupboard doors yourself is well within reach for most DIYers. Here's what you need to know before you start.
Before anything else, measure every door and drawer front carefully. Measure the height and width of each opening, then subtract a small gap allowance (usually around 2mm on each side) to get your door size.
Most modern kitchen cabinets use concealed cup hinges, most commonly 35mm Blum hinges. These clip into the hinge cup already drilled into the carcass. When fitting new kitchen doors, you'll need doors with hinge holes drilled in the right positions — or you can drill them yourself using a hinge jig. Our furniture fittings range stocks Blum hinges and other hardware.
When ordering your diy replacement kitchen doors from Cworkshop, use our online cutting list system to input each door size individually. You can add edge banding to all visible edges and opt for spray painting if you want a factory-finished painted door. Alternatively, order primed doors that you can hand-paint at home.
Once your new doors arrive, fitting is usually straightforward. Remove the old doors by unclipping or unscrewing the hinges, then attach the new doors using the same hinge cups. Most Blum hinges allow easy adjustment for height, depth and side-to-side alignment, so you can get every door perfectly straight.
Replacing doors means fitting new fronts onto your existing carcasses — the quickest and most cost-effective option.
If you've been researching how to update your kitchen on a budget, you've probably come across both "cabinet door replacement" and "cabinet refacing" as options. They sound similar but they're different approaches.

While most people think of replacement kitchen doors first, the same approach works beautifully in other rooms around the home. If you're already updating your kitchen, it's worth considering whether other furniture could benefit from the same treatment.
Replacement bathroom cupboard doors and replacement vanity doors and drawer fronts are a popular choice for refreshing a dated bathroom without full renovation. The same made-to-measure approach applies — measure your existing doors and we'll cut new ones to match.
Replacement wardrobe doors and drawer fronts can transform a bedroom just as dramatically as a kitchen update. Whether you want to refresh a built-in wardrobe or update a freestanding unit, Cworkshop can cut new door fronts to your exact size. Our sliding wardrobe doors are also worth a look if you're considering a change in layout at the same time.
Storage cupboards in a home office, utility room or garage can all benefit from new door fronts. If the carcasses are sound, there's no need to replace everything — just the doors.
