Is Kitchen Refacing Right for Your Perth Home?

Date Published

If you're standing in your kitchen thinking it looks tired and dated, but the thought of a full renovation fills you with dread, kitchen refacing might be the perfect solution. At HIS Design Ltd, we've been transforming kitchens across Perth, Kinross, and Tayside for over 30 years, and kitchen refacing has become one of our most popular services – and for good reason.

What Is Kitchen Refacing?

Kitchen refacing is a smart, cost-effective way to give your kitchen a completely new look without the upheaval of ripping everything out and starting from scratch. We replace your cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and worktops whilst keeping your existing cabinet boxes. The result? A kitchen that looks brand new, often at a fraction of the cost of a full refit.

Think of it as giving your kitchen a facelift rather than major surgery. The bones are good; they just need refreshing.

Why Choose Kitchen Refacing?

Save Money Without Compromising on Quality

A full kitchen renovation can easily run into tens of thousands of pounds. Kitchen refacing typically costs 40-60% less because we're working with your existing structure. You're not paying for new cabinet boxes, new plumbing configurations, or extensive building work. Instead, your budget goes towards beautiful new doors, drawer fronts, and quality worktops that transform the look entirely.

Reduce Disruption to Your Life

We all know the horror stories of kitchen renovations that drag on for months. With kitchen refacing, we can usually complete the work in just a few days. You won't be living without a kitchen for weeks on end, and there's minimal dust and mess compared to a full renovation.

An Eco-Friendly Choice

In an age where we're all trying to be more environmentally conscious, kitchen refacing is a genuinely sustainable option. Rather than sending perfectly good cabinet boxes to landfill, we give them a new lease of life. You're reusing what works and only replacing what needs updating.

Maintain Your Existing Layout

If you're happy with how your kitchen functions – the placement of your appliances, the flow of your workspace – refacing allows you to keep exactly what works whilst updating the aesthetic completely.

What Can You Change?

Our kitchen refacing service at HIS Design Ltd is comprehensive. We can replace:

  • All cabinet doors in your choice of style, from classic shaker to sleek contemporary designs
  • Drawer fronts to match your new doors perfectly
  • Worktops in materials ranging from laminate to solid wood or composite
  • Cabinet handles and hardware for the finishing touch
  • Plinths and end panels for a cohesive look

You can also choose to paint or reface visible cabinet ends, update your splashbacks, or even change the colour of your cabinet interiors if you fancy opening those doors to a fresh new hue.

Is Your Kitchen Suitable for Refacing?

The ideal kitchen for refacing has structurally sound cabinet boxes with no water damage, broken hinges, or sagging shelves. If your cabinets are in good condition but just looking dated, you're a perfect candidate.

We can work with most standard kitchen configurations. During our initial consultation, we'll assess your existing cabinetry and discuss whether refacing is the right solution for you, or whether you might benefit from other options.
