Kitchen Refresh · New Doors & Worktops · London

Refurbish your kitchen
instead of replacing it.

If the carcasses are sound, you don't need a new kitchen. New doors and drawer fronts, a new worktop, painted units, a new splashback, better lighting and updated appliances transform a kitchen for a third of the price — in days, not weeks.

The honest answer

When a kitchen refurbishment
beats a new kitchen.

A kitchen refurbishment makes sense when the layout works and the carcasses are solid but the doors, worktop, tiles or appliances are dated or worn. Replacing the visible parts — doors, worktop, splashback, handles, lighting — costs £5,000–£12,000 + VAT for a typical kitchen, against £12,000–£25,000 for a full replacement with the same finish.

The cost drivers are the route you choose — painting existing doors is cheapest, replacement doors from a specialist supplier cost more but give a new-kitchen look, and a new worktop is the biggest single upgrade — plus tiling, lighting, appliances and any plumbing or electrical work.

Tom Harvey Contractors provides free site visits and itemised written quotes within 48 hours, and we'll tell you honestly whether your kitchen is worth refurbishing or whether a new one is the better investment.

Common questions

Your questions
answered.

Painting existing units costs £1,800–£4,500 + VAT. Replacing doors and drawer fronts costs £2,500–£6,000. A new worktop, sink and tap is £1,200–£4,500 depending on the material. A full refresh — doors, worktop, splashback, lighting and appliances, keeping the carcasses — is typically £5,000–£12,000, roughly a third to a half of a full replacement.
If the cabinets are square, the shelves aren't sagging, the backs and bases aren't water-damaged and the layout works for you, they're worth keeping. We'll check them at the site visit — including the sink base, which is the one that usually fails.
Painting is cheaper (£1,800–£4,500) and works well on solid wood, MDF and veneered shaker doors. Replacement doors (£2,500–£6,000) give a genuinely new look and are the better option if the existing doors are foil-wrapped, damaged or a style you can't paint around. Both use the existing carcasses.
From specialist door suppliers who make to measure in hundreds of styles and colours — shaker, slab, handleless, painted and wood-grain. They're cut to fit your existing carcasses so no unit changes are needed. We measure, order and fit.
Yes — it's the most transformative single upgrade. Laminate is £150–£400 fitted; solid wood £600–£1,500; quartz £1,800–£4,500 templated and fitted. We'll remove the old worktop, refit the sink and hob or fit new ones, and re-seal everything.
A paint-and-refresh package takes 4–7 days. New doors and worktop 5–10 days (quartz adds a week for templating). A full refresh with appliances, lighting and flooring takes 2–3 weeks. Your kitchen stays usable for most of it.
Very often, yes. New doors, worktop, handles and a fresh splashback in a rental costs £4,000–£7,000 and photographs as a new kitchen, for less than half the price of replacing it.
Yes — under-cabinet LED strips, downlights and additional sockets are the upgrades clients notice most. Electrical work is done by our qualified electrician and certified.
