Cabinet Refacing & Doors In Yeppoon

Refacing costs a fraction of a full replacement, which is the whole point, so treat these as indicative guides. A standard kitchen reface often lands somewhere in the low thousands to around ten thousand dollars depending on the number of doors and drawers, the finish and the hardware upgrade. Value melamine and laminate fronts sit at the lower end, timber veneer moves up, and two-pac polyurethane doors are the premium option and the biggest single cost driver. Replacing any water-damaged carcase we find is a separate line we always flag. We provide a written, itemised quote so you can decide exactly where to spend.

Refacing is much quicker and less disruptive than a rebuild because your carcases stay in place. After an on-site assessment and measure, we manufacture the new doors, fronts and panels off site, which usually takes a couple of weeks, then the on-site fit itself is often just a day or two for a standard kitchen. That means your kitchen is out of action for a far shorter window than a full replacement. Exact timing depends on the finish and the size of the kitchen, and we confirm dates in writing rather than guess, so you can plan around the install.

It depends entirely on your existing carcases, and we give an honest answer rather than an upsell. If your boxes are square, sound and free of water damage and the layout works for you, refacing transforms the kitchen for a fraction of a rebuild and is well worth it. If the carcases have swelled or delaminated, or you want a new layout, bigger island or walk-in pantry, a full rebuild is the better spend and we will tell you so plainly. Because we are equally happy to reface or rebuild, our recommendation is driven by what your kitchen can support, not by which job is bigger.

We begin with an honest on-site assessment of your existing carcases to confirm refacing is the right call, checking for square boxes and any water damage. We then help you choose door style, finish and hardware, and measure precisely. New doors, drawer fronts and matching end panels are made off site, then we fit them to your carcases, install quality soft-close hinges and full-extension runners, and align every reveal to within about 2 mm so it reads as new. You get a written, itemised quote up front and a local contact on 0485 032 128 throughout.

Yes, matching is central to a good reface. You can keep a similar look or change the whole feel of the kitchen, for example moving to shaker or profiled doors that suit a character Queenslander, or flat slab fronts for a modern home. Finishes range from value melamine and hard-wearing laminate to timber veneer and premium two-pac polyurethane. We generally caution against vinyl-wrap doors right beside an oven or cooktop, because sustained heat can lift the wrap over time. We will show you options and give honest advice on which finish suits your kitchen and budget.

The new components we fit are built to last, though we never claim anything lasts forever. We use quality soft-close hinges engineered for well over 100,000 open-and-close cycles and full-extension runners rated around 40 kg, up to 70 kg for heavy pot-and-pan drawers, with 3-way adjustable hinges that keep reveals even. Durable finishes like high-pressure laminate and two-pac polyurethane wear well in a busy kitchen. Soft-close hinges and dampened runners also take the daily slamming out of a kitchen, which is a big part of why a refaced kitchen keeps feeling new rather than rattling loose within a year. The one thing refacing cannot fix is a failing carcase, which is why we assess the boxes honestly first and flag any that need replacing rather than dressing them up.
