How to refresh kitchen cabinet doors?

bschin1

want to refresh my kitchen, but a full renovation is too expensive and time-consuming. Is it possible to just clean up and refresh the cabinet doors? I heard there’s a specific term for this—what is it? Also, would this be expensive?

Hello @bschin1

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about refreshing your kitchen doors.

Were you thinking of revamp, makeover, upcycle or refurbish? These are the most common words when kitchen doors are painted over. I suggest repairing the damage to your doors first. For example, the heat damaged laminate cover of your door can be stuck back using Selleys 50ml Kwik Grip Crystal Clear Contact Adhesive. The flaking section of your pantry door handle can be filled in using UNi-PRO 500g Multi Purpose Interior Filler.

I propose using the Dulux Renovation Range to revamp your kitchen doors. Please note that this paint system can be used on your benchtop and wall tiles as well.

Here are some fantastic painted kitchens our Workshop members have shared:

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to Paint Laminate Kitchen Cabinets.

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves, goggles and a mask when working on your project.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
