How Much Do Replacement Kitchen Doors Cost?
If your kitchen cabinets are still structurally sound but the doors are looking tired, scratched or simply outdated, you might be surprised to learn just how affordable it can be to transform the entire look of your kitchen. Replacing just the doors and drawer fronts — rather than ripping out the whole kitchen — is one of the most cost-effective home improvements you can make. At Kitchen Makeover, we specialise in supplying and fitting high-quality replacement kitchen doors across Didcot, Oxford, Abingdon and the wider Oxfordshire area. In this guide, we break down the costs so you can make an informed decision.
What Is the Average Cost of Replacement Kitchen Doors?
The cost of replacement kitchen doors varies depending on the style, material and finish you choose, as well as the number of doors and drawers in your kitchen. As a general guide, you can expect to pay anywhere from £40 to £150 per door, including hinges and fittings. A typical medium-sized kitchen with around 15 doors and drawer fronts will usually cost between £600 and £2,250 for the doors alone.
When you compare this to the cost of a brand new fitted kitchen — which can easily run anywhere from £5,000 to £15,000 or more — the savings are significant. In most cases, replacing just the doors will cost a fraction of the price of a full kitchen replacement, while achieving a similarly dramatic visual transformation.

Factors That Affect the Price
Several key factors influence the final cost of your replacement kitchen doors. Understanding these will help you budget effectively and choose the right options for your home and your wallet.
- Door style — Handleless and slab doors tend to be more affordable, while shaker and in-frame styles carry a slightly higher price point.
- Material — Vinyl wrap is the most budget-friendly option, followed by foil wrap and MDF, with solid wood being the premium choice.
- Number of doors and drawers — Larger kitchens naturally require more doors, increasing the overall cost.
- Finishing touches — Cornice, pelmets, plinths and end panels may need replacing to match your new doors.
- Supply only vs supply and fit — Fitting costs extra, but ensures a professional, seamless finish.
Door Material Options and Price Ranges
The material you choose has the biggest impact on price. Here is a rough breakdown of what you can expect to pay per door, including hinges and fittings. For a full guide to the styles available, visit our services page.
- Vinyl wrapped doors — £40 to £70 per door. Durable, moisture-resistant and available in a wide range of colours.
- Foil wrapped doors — £55 to £85 per door. A smooth, high-quality finish with excellent durability.
- MDF doors — £60 to £100 per door. A versatile option that can be painted to any colour you choose.
- Solid wood doors — £90 to £150+ per door. A premium, natural finish with lasting quality and character.
Supply Only vs Supply and Fit
One of the great things about choosing Kitchen Makeover is the flexibility we offer. If you are confident in your DIY skills, you can opt for supply only and fit the doors yourself — we deliver nationwide, so wherever you are in the UK, we can send your new doors directly to your door. This keeps costs down, as you are only paying for the materials.
If you would prefer a professional finish, we offer a full supply and fit service across Didcot, Oxford, Abingdon, Wantage and surrounding areas. Our experienced fitters will remove your old doors, install your new ones and ensure everything is perfectly aligned and functioning smoothly. Fitting costs typically add around £30 to £50 per door, depending on the complexity of the job.
Are Replacement Kitchen Doors Worth It?
In short — absolutely. If your existing kitchen cabinets are in good condition, there is rarely a good reason to replace the entire kitchen. New doors can completely transform the appearance of your space, giving it a modern, fresh look without the disruption, mess and expense of a full refit. Most door replacements can be completed in just one to two days, meaning you will not be without your kitchen for weeks on end.
Replacement doors are also an environmentally friendly choice. By keeping your existing cabinets and only replacing the visible parts, you are reducing waste and minimising the carbon footprint of your home improvement project.
