Which option fits your home?
Splashbacks and upstands
Tiles, toughened glass, acrylic sheet or matching worktop upstands protect the wall behind the sink and hob. Glass behind a hob must be heat-rated and fitted with the clearances the hob manufacturer specifies. A new splashback is often the cheapest way to make a dated kitchen look current.
Replacement doors and drawer fronts
New doors in shaker, slab, gloss or wood-effect finishes, made to fit your existing carcasses. Most fitted kitchens use standard unit sizes, so replacement doors are easy to source; older or unusual kitchens may need made-to-measure doors. New end panels, plinths and cornice are matched so the finish looks complete rather than patched.

Questions about kitchen makeovers in Darlaston
What guarantees do replacement doors and worktops have?
Doors, worktops, sinks, taps and hinges carry their own manufacturers' guarantees, and the terms for each product are set out in your quote. Some worktop guarantees depend on correct sealing and care, so we'll tell you what the manufacturer asks for. If anything we fitted isn't right afterwards, call us and we'll come back to look at it.

How long does a kitchen makeover take?
Most take 2–4 days on site. Doors and drawer fronts usually take a day or two, and laminate or wood worktops another day or so. Stone worktops are templated after any unit adjustments and fitted up to two weeks later. You can keep using the kitchen for most of the work, apart from a day or so while the sink and hob are disconnected.
Does Walsall Council need to approve my kitchen makeover?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Walsall Council would need to give listed building consent first.
