You would be surprised at how much difference a coat of paint makes! I had ugly blond-wood eighties-style cupboards on the walls that did not match the ugly blond-wood eighties-style cupboards under the counter tops. I took the doors off, lightly sanded them, then painted them with a medium-gloss paint (I used a nice pearl grey). I did the drawers, too, of course. When the paint was dry, I re-hung the doors, and then bought some funky iron-work pulls and handles. My kitchen looks great!

Really, really easy job to do yourself, i did mine! You will need a drill and a crosshead screwdriver. You can get the doors in DIY stores and specialist stores (i know there is one called Cupboard Love). B&Q nearly always have special offers on their kitchen cupboard doors. If you decide to do it yourself, use the old doors as templates to drill the hinge holes in the new doors and then use the old hinges and screws. Go for it and good luck!!

You need one cross head screwdriver, it would be an easy job to tackle yourself.

Measure the sizes and them chose replacements from a DIY shop. You'll get the job done much quicker than trying to find someone to do it for.

A couple of hours to change 15 doors and drawers....

I know that doesn't answer your question, but you might struggle to find someone to do such a simple job, have you not got any friends to help, it would only cost a cup of tea ?

My mum has just repainted the fronts of her kitchen cupboards - they now look fantastic - its a cheap and easy althernative to replacing cupboard doors and there are a variet of colours to choose from

Answer 6

You could do it yourself but if you're looking at doors they will have to have the EXACT same centres for the recesses for the hinges, AND they will have to be the same diameter recesses as well, otherwise it will be nightmare and a mess as the hinges wont align! Not all manufacturers will be compatible, in fact very few will.
