What Is a Kitchen Makeover?

A kitchen makeover retains suitable cabinets and, where practical, the existing layout. The dated or worn visible components are replaced: doors, drawer fronts, worktops, handles, panels, plinths, trims and selected fittings.

It is not a quick door swap. TLS Kitchens assesses how the finishes meet, how the worktops and services interact, and what must change for the result to read as one complete kitchen.

When the carcasses remain sound and the layout still suits the room, refurbishment can avoid unnecessary replacement, waste and disruption. Suitability is confirmed after assessment.

Why Refurbish?

Change What You See. Retain What Still Works.

A makeover is worth considering when the room works but the finish no longer does.

i

Keep a Working Layout

If the cabinet positions and storage suit you, a visual transformation may be more appropriate than redesigning the entire room.

ii

A Cohesive Finish

Doors, panels, worktops, handles and trims are considered together so retained and replacement elements do not look pieced together.

iii

Less Removal

Sound cabinetry can remain in place, reducing unnecessary removal where the existing structure is suitable.

iv

Professional Alterations

Cabinet changes and agreed plumbing, electrical, sink, tap and appliance work are planned as part of the refurbishment.

Replacement Worktops

Choose the Surface Around the Kitchen

The right material depends on cabinet condition, layout, joints, appliances, sink and the finish you want.

01

Quartz

Engineered quartz offers a precise, substantial finish with a broad choice of colours and patterns. Existing units must be sound, level and suitable before specialist templating and fabrication.

02

Stone

Granite and other stone surfaces have natural variation. Slab choice, joints, edges, cut-outs and support requirements are confirmed with the specialist fabricator.

03

Laminate

Laminate offers a wide range of finishes and can be a practical replacement surface. Accurate fitting, joints, edging and sealing around sinks remain important.

More Than Replacement Doors

Rebuild the Complete Visible Finish

New doors and drawer fronts establish the style, but the transformation depends on everything around them. TLS Kitchens can assess matching end panels, cornice, pelmets, plinths, fillers, trims and handles.

Sinks, taps, upstands and splashbacks can also be included. Appliance changes and cabinet alterations are considered against clearances, ventilation, plumbing, gas and electrical requirements.

The aim is a resolved refurbishment, not a collection of disconnected replacement parts.

Suitability First

Is Your Existing Kitchen Suitable?

Photographs are a useful first step. A proper assessment confirms what can be retained and what must change.

Cabinet Condition

Carcasses, backs, shelves, hinges and fixings need to be sufficiently sound for the components retained.

Levels and Support

Cabinet levels and support are particularly important when changing from laminate to a heavier templated surface.

Layout and Sizes

Door sizes, appliance spaces, gaps and panel details are checked to establish what can be replaced cleanly.

Services and Finishes

Plumbing, electrics, gas, walls, splashbacks and flooring affect sequencing and the final result.

Questions Before You Start

Kitchen Makeover FAQs

Can I replace kitchen doors without replacing the cabinets?

Often, yes, when the existing cabinets are sound and suitable replacement sizes and fittings are available. Panels, trims and hinges should also be considered.

Can you replace worktops without replacing the kitchen?

Potentially. Cabinet condition, levels, walls, sink, hob, services and the proposed material must be assessed first.

Can laminate worktops be replaced with quartz?

They can be in suitable kitchens, but the cabinets and support must be checked. Quartz is templated and installed by a specialist fabricator.

Is a makeover cheaper than a new kitchen?

It can involve less replacement when sound cabinets and a working layout are retained. Cost depends on fronts, worktops, panels, fittings, alterations and trades.

Can the sink and tap be changed?

Yes, where the sink, tap, cabinet, worktop cut-out and plumbing arrangement are compatible.

Can you replace cornice, plinths and end panels?

Yes, where suitable components can be supplied and fitted. These details help create a complete-looking refurbishment.

How long does a makeover take?

It depends on scope, product availability, worktop material, templating and related trade work. Timing is confirmed after assessment.

Can you quote from photographs?

Photos, postcode, rough measurements and a clear brief support an initial review. Final scope and price may require a home assessment.

Do you supply the doors and worktops?

TLS Kitchens can coordinate agreed components. Specialist stone is templated, fabricated, fitted and warranted by the appointed stone company.

What areas do you cover?

Core coverage includes Nuneaton, Bedworth, Coventry, Hinckley, Warwickshire, North Warwickshire and surrounding Midlands areas.
