Resurfacing Kitchen Cabinet Door

Featured Replies

I need help to have a few recommendation company to resurface my kitchen cabinet door. everything is fine except the door is 'balloon". its expensive to change everything and i hope it to cut cost by just replacing the door. I only have about 6 doors 3 drawers face to change.

Greatly appreciate.

My understanding is so long the carcass (ie skeletal frame) of the Kitchen Cabinets is in good condition. You can choose to re-laminate the colour and change the doors at approximately 40% cost of a new one plus minus. Because the measurement must be precise due to the existing structure, a top notch carpenter is very important.

i cannot consider relaminate the surface because the water gets into the door and cause it to balloon (expand). but my cabinet inside is ok. Changing whole kitchen cabinet means ard $5K, which is alot.

the previous company who do my kitchen closed down but I remember my cabinet is modular system, something like ikea. And if I just change those affected doors (only 2 doors), nobody even wants to entertain me. :bangwall: that's why I think of changing all doors for bottom cabinet but i do not know who do such job. This is a small job, i called a few contractors but they don't do just capentery job. :(

Resurfacing of existing laminated door is not practical. U need to use thinner to remove the laminates.

just bring your doors, together with the attached hinges to the contractor. If only 1 pc of door, it is cheaper to use their remaining laminate instead of buying a new pc of 4' x 8' laminate

maybe check with Sie furniture at Yishun or Thung Interior at Ubi.
