Reuse Existing Kitchen Cabinet.. With Some Touch Up?

Featured Replies

Hi all,

Anyone can advise what can I do to my used kitchen cabinet? It's dark brown colour solid wood with metallic handles in good condition.. But because it has been used by previous owners for a couple of years, therefore you can see some scratches kind of wear and tear..

1) What kind of cabinet can remove the top layer of laminate and paste a new laminate back?

2) Or is there companies who can polish the wood of the cabinet to look new?

3) Any spraying on wood like tile spraying?

4) Can I replace the handles without spoiling the cabinets?

Anyone with experience to advise?

Hey, Booy,

I have just refurbished my kitchen cabinet. Been having the same problems when I was about to do it. According to the carpenter,

1) usually pple will just paste a new laminate instead of removing, and it is lasting without falling off.

2) My carpenter can polish for you. If you need help, just let me know, i ll pass the msg to him

3) ya, there is.

4) yes, you can.

Good luck to your renovation! :dancingqueen:
