Options to consider in Droitwich Spa
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.
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.

Kitchen makeovers in Droitwich Spa: common questions
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.
Do you cover Droitwich Spa?
Yes. Droitwich Spa (WR9) is about 19 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.
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 Wychavon District Council need to approve my kitchen makeover?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Wychavon District Council would need to give listed building consent first.
