    Hi Peppa, I totally understand ur frustration. This laminate issue needs to be reviewed. I am intending to go to case to see what can they do to help me recover my additional cost incurred from the laminate company.

    Mine kitchen cabinets has ard 15 doors. mine is horizontal n a few panels is longer. I have pm u the contractor no. Do read up the earlier few post on the feedback of the cabinets for the quality. All da best.

    Hi Berrycherry,

    I want to relaminate cupboards and shelves in one of my bedrooms too. The current laminate is pink and it's going to be my son's bedroom so my hubby says have to change!

    Did you manage to relaminate your kitchen cabinets? Is the result good? If so, how much was the damage and which company did you use?

    Thanks!

    Hi Tamcamwan,

    I have relaminate my kitchen cabinets to a colour I like. The jointing part has obvious black lines when view close up. According to carpenter, he says it's bcoz he paste the laminate over so it's thicker and thus result in a black gap. If u choose dark laminates, I suppose the black gaps would not even be noticeable. My kitchen laminate is white and I will paint over the black lines once I settle down so I am ok with it. If u can't accept the black lines, then have to do a new cabinet.

    My previous contractor did mentioned that the pasting of laminate will not last in the long run... But in my point of view, I will b happy looking at laminate I like everyday then to sulk at the ugly laminate everyday. Just gotto be extra gente n careful when handling the cabinets hopefully can prolong their life span. I try to see if I can upload pics here for ur reference. Damage is $900.

    All da best!

    Okay, here is another idea.... this company called Ministry of Door make very nice aluminium cabinet doors. Maybe give them a call and as the price. I've used them for other doors, and the quality is very good, and they are professional and quick. Have a look www.ministryofdoor.com.sg. ‎

    Otherwise, there are plenty of decal places in Singapore. You just need to work out what type of decals you want :) For example, if you want something small, try a company called Art Decal Singapore. Or if you want a full size mural across the whole cupboard, try Creative Wall Decal. Both are in SIngspore, and have good websites to browse. I have bought successfully from each of them.

    Be creative and I am sure you'll end up with a dream kitchen. Good luck.

    EdensMom u r good! Got loads of good tips from u. I just check out the decal company u recommend and I am happy I have solutions for my biofold door and kitchen walls now. Was cracking my head every night for weeks.

    I now have a few good suggestions and also found 2 "good priced" contractors ( standby them already). Must finalise already n hopefully my dream kitchen will be up in another week.

    I agree with u.. Even we were abt to do the same mistake..but luckily i read some forum abt requesting for bigger laminate piece..Infact it did help us to change on eof our wardrobe laminate..

    U are lucky. I didn't read renotalk on advise for this ... Thus didn't know my rights. Hope this info will help newbies doing Reno. You can and must request for bigger samples to view.

    Hi Berrycherry, sorry to hear that. sorry to tell you, you need to replace all the cabinet doors. est. $120-$150 per pcs

    Best rdgs

    Thank u Ganglong. At this price of $120-$150 per door, it is the same price as doing up a whole new cabinet. Think this will be my last last resort.

    If you google about painting laminate it is possible, but I woudln't recommend it. i think ganglong is correct - just replace the doors, or some of the doors... or, have you considerd making them look different with decals? it could be quite unique and cheap.

    What exactly don't you like? Maybe post a picture and you may get some creative ideas.

    Feel sorry for you.

    Thank u EdensMom, I googled painting. Apparently it's quite popular n common oversea but contractors here say the paint will not "eat onto" the laminate. I am using wood feel finish lamiate for my cabinets which I think painting is possible but the whole outlook might not look good anymore. Yup decals is definatly a gd idea, but can't seem to find in sg. Mine cabinets must change colour as the whole cabinet turns out beigh instead of white. Color totally mismatch with walls n floor. I m getting samples of the laminates now and do my experiments on them first.

    Renotalk experts please help..

    My 1 week old kitchen cabinet laminate looks horrible! The tiny piece on the catalogue is so different when it's place on the cabinets itself... What can I do? Can i paint over the laminates? Can I just re-laminate it myself? Any recommendation on carpenters to do re lamination at a good price? on a tight budget now.

    Very very upset :_ (

    Hi XTR, I notice there is a beam just beside ur ceiling fan. Does it affect the wind flow? Can feel the wind while standing on the other side of the beam (near the chute area)? Sorry if this qns seem silly but i come across ceiling fan that has a very bad distribution of wind flow where one can only feel the wind if standing right below the fan only. Like to hear some feedback b4 installing fan in kitchen. Mine unit layout is similar to urs.

    Also would like to comment that u have a totally beautiful home and ur DIY skills is impressive. Thanks for sharing so much here for all to learn.
