Quality Kitchen Door Replacement
Kitchen Cabinet Doors
Selecting the right cabinet doors is the single biggest visual decision in a kitchen renovation — and one of the most important practical ones. The right doors set the tone of the room, hold up to years of daily use, and balance budget against finish.
We offer three core door types: Polytec Melamine, custom Polyurethane, and Polyurethane Shaker. Each suits a different kitchen, a different budget, and a different style.
Melamine
A practical, durable door finish available in a wide range of colours and textures. The most affordable of our three core options, with a 7-year Polytec warranty.
Explore Melamine
Polyurethane
A premium painted door, custom-mixed in any Dulux colour. Seamless, smooth-faced, and built to withstand daily use. Available in matt, satin, or gloss.

Shaker
The classic framed door profile in polyurethane. Timeless, characterful, and the foundation of Hamptons and country-style kitchens. Available in matt.

Melamine Or Polyurethane — What's Right For You?

Melamine
Decorative paper bonded to a particleboard or MDF core, finished with a heat-sealed edge band. Strong, lightweight, and the smart choice for budget-conscious renovations where durability matters more than custom colour-matching.

Option Two & Three
Polyurethane & Shaker Doors
Looking to add timeless style and durability to your kitchen? Our polyurethane and shaker-style doors combine premium materials with custom finishing — long-lasting, sleek, and made to suit any home design.
01
Luxury Look & Flawless Finish
Polyurethane doors are renowned for their seamless, high-end appearance. Each door is professionally painted and cured, creating a flawless surface with no visible joins.
02
Effortless Maintenance
Designed for modern living, with a non-porous, easy-clean surface that makes kitchen maintenance simple.
- No harsh chemicals required — a damp cloth and mild detergent keeps them looking fresh
- Resistant to stains and smudges — ideal for busy households
- Long-lasting shine — even after years of daily use
- A note on high-gloss: fingerprints are more visible on gloss surfaces, especially in homes with young children. True for both polyurethane and melamine — worth considering when choosing your finish
03
Endless Colour Possibilities
One of the biggest advantages of polyurethane is unmatched colour versatility. While many door options limit you to a small selection, polyurethane can be custom-painted in almost any colour.

Common Questions
Cabinet Door FAQ
What types of cabinet doors do you offer?
We offer three core door types, all designed to suit different styles and budgets, featuring high-quality Polytec materials for superior durability:
- Melamine doors — affordable and durable, available in a wide range of colours, finishes, and timber-look designs. A stylish option without the premium price tag.
- Polyurethane doors — fully customisable in any Dulux colour, with finishes ranging from matt to high-gloss, including a popular 30% satin gloss for a subtle sheen.
- Polyurethane shaker doors — timeless and sophisticated, with clean lines and a framed flat centre panel. Ideal for premium kitchens in classic or contemporary styles.
How long does it take to replace cabinet doors?
Our team works efficiently to refresh your kitchen with minimal disruption. After precise measurements, your custom-made doors are crafted to ensure a perfect fit.
For door replacements only, installation is often completed in as little as a day. Even for larger makeovers that include benchtops and splashbacks, most projects finish within a few days.
Do polyurethane doors come in timber-look and other textures?
Polyurethane doors are known for their smooth, sleek finishes — most commonly available in matte, satin, and high-gloss. They are painted finishes, which means they're highly customisable in colour, including the full Dulux range.
However, polyurethane doors don't generally come in timber-look or textured finishes. Those are more characteristic of melamine, laminate, or thermo-laminated (vinyl wrap) doors, which offer realistic timber-look or embossed finishes that mimic wood grains and other materials.
If you're after a timber-look or textured finish, Polytec's melamine range would be more suitable — providing the appearance you want with the durability and low-maintenance benefits.
Can I customise the colour of my cabinet doors?
With our polyurethane doors — yes, completely. You can select any shade from the Dulux paint range, from soft, timeless whites to bold, eye-catching hues. Pair that with your choice of matt, satin, or gloss finish to bring your vision to life.
Melamine has a fixed palette but a generous one — there's a strong range of colours, woodgrains, and textures to suit most styles.
Do your cabinet doors include soft-close features?
Yes. All our cabinet doors come with soft-close technology as standard. It ensures a smooth, quiet closing action, reduces wear and tear, and adds a touch of luxury and practicality to your kitchen.
Can I get overhead cabinet doors that open upwards?
Yes — we offer a range of lift-up cabinet door systems, including:
- Bi-fold lift systems — doors fold and lift upwards, perfect for wide cabinets
- Stay-lift systems — doors lift and remain in place, providing unobstructed access
- Swing-up systems — doors swing up and out of the way for easy access
These solutions are ideal for modern kitchens, saving space and enhancing functionality.
Are your cabinet doors easy to maintain?
Yes. Polyurethane doors are non-porous, meaning they resist stains and smudges — a simple wipe with a damp cloth keeps them looking great for years. Melamine has the same easy-clean properties.
What hinges do you use for cabinet doors?
We use Blum hinges, known for their superior quality and durability. Blum hinges feature integrated soft-close technology for smooth, silent operation — long-lasting performance and a premium feel.
What types of handles are available?
Our range includes Momo handles, offering stylish and ergonomic designs to complement any kitchen. Whether you prefer sleek, minimalist handles or more traditional styles, our selection covers the full range.
If you have specific preferences and want to source your own handles, our team will professionally install them to ensure a seamless fit and finish. Explore our handle range →
Should I replace my entire cabinets or just the doors?
It depends on the condition, layout, and functionality of your existing cabinets. If your cabinet frames are structurally sound and you're happy with the layout, a kitchen makeover with new doors, panels, and handles can give your kitchen a fresh look at a lower cost.
If the cabinets are damaged, worn, or the layout no longer suits your needs, replacing them may be the better option — both for durability and improved functionality.
How do I know if my cabinets are in good enough condition to keep?
Check for the following:
- Sturdy frames with no warping or water damage
- Fully functional doors and drawers without sagging or sticking
- No mould or rot — especially in areas near sinks or dishwashers
- Adequate storage that meets your current needs
If these factors check out, you can likely keep your existing cabinets and update the look with new doors and finishes. Not sure? Our design team can assess your kitchen during a free in-home consultation and offer tailored advice.
Can I upgrade my existing cabinets without replacing them?
Yes. You can update existing cabinets by:
- Replacing cabinet doors with fresh designs and finishes
- Installing soft-close hinges for smoother, quieter operation
- Adding Momo handles for a stylish update
- Converting cupboards to drawer units for better accessibility
- Installing lift-up door systems for overhead cabinets
Do you offer outdoor cabinets and doors?
Yes. We offer outdoor cabinet doors and cabinets designed to withstand outdoor environments. Our outdoor range features Polytec's Alfresco doors, crafted from weather-resistant materials engineered for external use — resistant to sun, rain, and humidity, so they won't warp, fade, or rust over time.
Perfect for outdoor kitchens, BBQ areas, and alfresco dining spaces, the range offers a variety of finishes and colours, along with rust-resistant hardware and soft-close options.
