Cabinet Refacing & Doors In Launceston

Refacing renews the visible parts of your kitchen while keeping the existing cabinet carcasses and, usually, the benchtop. We replace the doors, drawer fronts, handles and often the end and cover panels, so the kitchen looks new without a full rebuild. It suits kitchens where the layout still works but the fronts are tired or dated. A free measure-and-quote confirms whether your cabinets are sound enough to reface.

Often, yes. Plenty of established family kitchens in Kings Meadows, Prospect and Youngtown have solid carcasses and a workable layout but doors that have had their day, and refacing is a tidy, lower-cost way to modernise them. For heritage homes in Newstead or Trevallyn, it can also update a kitchen with less disruption to the room. We check the carcasses at the measure and give you an honest recommendation. If a rebuild is the better call, we will say so.

We make new doors and drawer fronts in laminate, timber veneer, 2-pac polyurethane or vinyl-wrap, in a wide range of colours and styles. Laminate and vinyl-wrap keep the budget down, while timber veneer and 2-pac give a premium finish. We can match a look that suits your home, whether that is a contemporary Riverside kitchen or a period Newstead house. You will see the options at the quote stage.

Refacing is usually quicker than a full kitchen rebuild because the carcasses stay in place, but the doors are still made to order in our Launceston workshop, so expect a matter of weeks from approved quote to install rather than days. The on-site fit itself is generally short and less disruptive than a full renovation. We will give you a realistic timeframe with your fixed quote. Making the doors locally means no waiting on freight from the mainland.

Yes. We fit quality soft-close hinges as standard when we reface, and can replace tired drawer runners with soft-close runners at the same time. Where you want a recognised name, hardware from makers such as Blum or Hettich is available. Manufacturer warranties apply to the hardware we install. Upgrading the hardware is one of the nicest improvements you notice day to day.

Refacing only makes sense on sound carcasses, so we check their condition at the free measure before recommending it. If the cabinets are water-damaged or failing, new doors on a poor carcass will not last, and we will be honest about that and quote a rebuild instead. In wet zones we use HMR (moisture-resistant, not waterproof) substrate on the new fronts for better durability. Either way, you get a straight answer on the best option for your kitchen.
