Kitchen Door Replacement Cost by Type

If the carcasses are sound, replacing just the doors and drawer fronts gives a fresh look for far less than a new kitchen. Cost depends on the number of doors, the style and finish, and whether hinges, handles and fitting are included. Here is the 2026 ladder.

JobCost 2026What it covers
Doors supplied onlyยฃ500โ€“ยฃ2,000All doors and drawer fronts for a typical 15โ€“20 door kitchen
Supplied and fittedยฃ1,000โ€“ยฃ3,000Doors, drawer fronts, hinges and handles, keeping the existing carcasses
Bespoke, in-frame or hand-paintedยฃ2,000โ€“ยฃ5,000Made-to-measure sizes and painted finishes — transforms an older kitchen

Per door

£10-£40 standard, £40-£120+ bespoke or painted. Off-the-shelf doors are cheapest; made-to-measure and hand-painted cost more.

Whole kitchen, doors only (supply)

£500-£2,000. Replacing all doors and drawer fronts in a typical 15-20 door kitchen, supplied only.

Whole kitchen, supplied and fitted

£1,000-£3,000. Doors, drawer fronts, hinges and handles supplied and fitted, keeping the existing carcasses.

Made-to-measure or painted

£2,000-£5,000. Bespoke sizes, in-frame styles and hand-painted finishes cost more but transform an older kitchen.

Handles, hinges and worktops

Extras. New handles (£2-£20 each) and soft-close hinges add up. A new worktop or splashback is a separate upgrade.

Why replace doors not the kitchen

If the carcasses are sound, new doors give a fresh look for a fraction of a full kitchen, with far less disruption.

What each door costs, and the extras

Replacing doors rather than the whole kitchen works because the carcasses stay put. Per-door pricing is the quickest way to sanity-check a quote for a kitchen of an unusual size.

Priced per itemCost
Standard off-the-shelf doorยฃ10โ€“ยฃ40 each
Bespoke or hand-painted doorยฃ40โ€“ยฃ120+ each
Handlesยฃ2โ€“ยฃ20 each

Soft-close hinges and new handles add up quickly across 15–20 doors, so ask for them as a separate line. A new worktop or splashback is a separate upgrade again — see our worktop replacement cost guide.
