Planning your kitchen makeover in Tividale
There's normally nothing to apply for. Sandwell Council only needs to be involved if your home is listed, or if it's in a conservation area with extra controls on changes to the outside.
- Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so replacement doors are widely available.
- The kitchen can usually stay in use for most of a makeover, apart from a day while the sink and hob are disconnected.
- Glass splashbacks behind a hob need to be heat-rated and fitted with the hob manufacturer's clearances.

Which option fits your home?
Lighting and small upgrades
Under-cabinet LED strips, plinth lights or new ceiling spotlights make the kitchen easier to work in. Adding lights to an existing kitchen circuit isn't notifiable, but a new circuit is, and either way the electrical work is tested. A new sink and tap or a replacement extractor can be added to the same visit.
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.
What does your kitchen makeover cost in Tividale?
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.
| Option | Guide price | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Doors, drawer fronts and handles | £1,200 – £3,000 | Same worktops, new look |
| Doors, worktops and splashback | £3,000 – £6,500 | A full refresh |
| Full makeover with stone worktops and lighting | £6,500 – £11,000 | Quartz or similar, new sink, tap and lights |
Guide ranges include VAT where it applies. Access, parking and the state of what's there now can move the price — the survey settles it.
Before you book in Tividale
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.
Which postcodes in Tividale do you work in?
We cover B69 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Tividale, neighbouring Great Bridge and Tipton are covered too.
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.
