Choices to weigh up in Coleshill
Handles, hinges and drawer runners
Swapping handles changes the style at very low cost, and upgrading to soft-close hinges and runners makes old units feel new. New handles may not line up with old screw holes, so they're usually fitted at the same time as new doors, or the old holes are filled carefully.
New worktops
Replacing tired worktops changes a kitchen more than almost anything else. Laminate is quick and affordable, solid wood brings warmth, and quartz or compact laminate is hard-wearing. Changing worktops means disconnecting the sink and hob, so plumbing and, for a gas hob, a Gas Safe registered engineer are included where needed.
How much should you budget in Coleshill?
Guide prices start at £1,200 and run to £11,000 depending on size and specification. New doors, drawer fronts, handles and laminate worktops for a 12-unit kitchen: around £3,200–£4,800.

Your questions answered
Will new doors fit my old kitchen?
Usually, yes. Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so doors are widely available in many styles. Older or less common kitchens sometimes have unusual sizes or hinge positions, and then made-to-measure doors are the answer. We measure every door and drawer front individually rather than relying on catalogue sizes, so they fit first time.
Which postcodes in Coleshill do you work in?
We cover B46 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Coleshill, neighbouring Water Orton and Chelmsley Wood are covered too.
How much does a kitchen makeover cost compared with a new kitchen?
A makeover typically costs £1,200–£11,000 in the West Midlands, including VAT where it applies, against roughly £7,500–£28,000 to supply and fit a new kitchen. New doors, drawer fronts, handles and laminate worktops for a 12-unit kitchen usually come to £3,200–£4,800. The saving comes from keeping the carcasses, plumbing and layout you already have.
Who approves kitchen makeovers in Coleshill?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where North Warwickshire Borough Council would need to give listed building consent first.
