Cabinet Refacing & Doors In Highfields

Refacing works when your cabinet boxes are structurally sound and the layout still suits you, even if the doors and hardware are dated. It is not the answer if the boxes are water-damaged, the chipboard has swollen, or the layout is genuinely wrong for how you use the kitchen. We give you a free, honest assessment, and if a reface is not the right spend we will tell you so plainly rather than sell you one. Ring 0485 032 128 and we will take a look.

As an indicative guide, a doors-and-fronts update on a typical kitchen commonly runs around $3,000 to $7,000, and a full reface around $6,000 to $12,000, against a full custom kitchen for the same room that generally starts around $10,000 to $18,000 and climbs. So when your boxes are sound, refacing often saves a large share of the cost, plus you avoid the mess and downtime of a full rip-out. We quote both honestly so you can compare on real numbers, not guesses.

We build the full range: clean flat slab doors in melamine, laminate or two-pac polyurethane for a modern look; Shaker doors, which suit Toowoomba's many character homes; and profiled or routed doors for period Queenslanders and Federation houses where a flat door would look wrong. Finishes run from hardwearing laminate and melamine to timber veneer and colour-matched two-pac. We help you choose a style that suits your home's era rather than fights it, so the result looks intentional.

Yes, that is the craft in it. We measure your existing openings precisely and make each door to fit, then hang them on Blum or Hettich three-way adjustable hinges rated well past 100,000 cycles. That adjustability lets us dial each door in so reveals sit even, within about 2mm across the run, even when old cabinets have shifted over the years. It is exactly what flat-pack replacement doors in fixed sizes cannot achieve on an older kitchen.

Most refacing jobs are far quicker and cleaner than a full kitchen, because we make everything in our Toowoomba workshop first and the boxes stay in place. A typical reface install is usually completed in one to three days on site, and you keep the use of your kitchen for most of that time. There is minimal demolition, minimal dust and no benchtop upheaval unless you choose to replace it as well. We give you a firm schedule when you approve the quote.

Yes. The same approach works for laundry cabinets and bathroom vanities, and we build any new doors or panels for those wet areas from 16 to 18mm HMR moisture-resistant board with heat-sealed edges, because Toowoomba's cold, condensation-prone mornings are hard on poorly built wet-area joinery. Moisture-resistant is not waterproof, so we detail and seal it properly. It is a cost-effective way to freshen a laundry or bathroom without a full rebuild, and it is fully covered by our workmanship warranty.
