What Are Kitchen Makeovers?
A kitchen makeover is a smart way to get a new-looking kitchen without starting from scratch. Instead of tearing everything out, we keep what works and replace or refresh the parts that don't.
Think of it as giving your kitchen a facelift rather than full surgery. We can replace doors, worktops and handles, add new lighting or update your splashbacks - all the things that make a kitchen look new without the massive mess or cost.
Most kitchen makeovers take just 2-3 days, meaning you'll be back cooking in no time!
Our Kitchen Makeover Services Include
Cabinet Door Replacement or Refinishing
Out with the old, in with the new! We can replace just your kitchen doors and drawer fronts with made-to-measure ones in any style you fancy. From modern gloss to traditional shaker, we've got options to suit every taste.
If your cabinets are in good nick, we can even repaint them for a quick kitchen makeover that looks amazing.
Worktop Replacement or Resurfacing
Worktops take a beating over the years. We can fit new laminate, solid wood, granite or quartz worktops that instantly upgrade your kitchen's look and function.
For those on a tighter budget, we also offer worktop resurfacing - a cheap kitchen makeover option that looks anything but cheap!
New Handles and Hardware
It's amazing how much difference new handles make! This simple kitchen refresh can transform the look of your cabinets in just an hour or two.
We've got hundreds of styles to choose from - brushed copper, classic chrome, vintage ceramic... whatever matches your dream kitchen style.
Updated Splashbacks
From easy-clean acrylic to stunning glass splashbacks, we can swap your tired tiles for something that brings your kitchen right up to date.
These are perfect for a weekend kitchen makeover project - small change, big impact!
Fresh Paint or Wallpaper
Sometimes a simple colour change makes all the difference. Whether you fancy a bold feature wall or a clean, neutral scheme, our decorating team can transform your kitchen's whole vibe.
New Lighting Fixtures
Lighting can make or break a kitchen. We can install under-cabinet lighting, statement pendants or practical spotlights to create the perfect ambiance and make food prep easier.
Floor Updates or Refinishing
From hard-wearing luxury vinyl to traditional timber, we can update your kitchen floor to complete your makeover.
Appliance Upgrades
Want a new range cooker? Fancy a smart fridge? We can advise on energy-efficient appliances and handle all the installation work.

A new sink and tap can be fitted in a single day, giving you modern functionality and fresh style.
Benefits of Kitchen Makeovers
Save Your Hard-Earned Cash
A kitchen makeover typically costs 40-60% less than a full renovation. For Derby homeowners on a budget, kitchen makeovers offer incredible value.
"We were quoted £18,000 for a new kitchen, but DKF did a complete makeover for just £4,500. It looks brand new!" - Bruce N, Spondon
Quick Transformation
Most of our kitchen makeovers take just 2-3 days from start to finish. Compare that to the 3-6 weeks of a full renovation!
Less Disruption
Keep using your kitchen throughout most of the process. No need to set up a temporary kitchen in your living room or survive on takeaways for weeks.
Dramatic Visual Improvement
You'd be amazed at the difference new doors, worktops and a fresh colour scheme can make. Many of our customers say their friends think they've had a full renovation.
Extended Kitchen Lifespan
A good kitchen makeover can add years to your existing units. Why replace solid cabinets if they're still doing their job?

In Derby's competitive property market, an updated kitchen can increase your home's value by up to 5%. Estate agents often tell us that kitchens sell houses!
Eco-Friendly Option
Keeping your cabinet carcasses means less waste in landfill. It's a more sustainable approach to kitchen improvement.

Common Questions About Kitchen Makeovers
What's the difference between a kitchen renovation and a kitchen makeover in Derby?
A renovation means starting from scratch - ripping everything out and putting in completely new units, often changing the layout too. A makeover keeps what works (usually the cabinet shells) and updates the visible parts like doors, worktops and handles. Renovations typically cost £10,000-£20,000+ while makeovers usually come in at £2,000-£7,000.
How much does a kitchen makeover cost in Derby?
Most of our kitchen makeovers cost between £2,000 and £7,000, depending on the size of your kitchen and the finishes you choose. We can work with almost any budget - just let us know what you're hoping to spend and we'll suggest the best ways to use that money.
Can I just replace my kitchen doors and worktops in Derby?
Absolutely! This is actually one of our most popular kitchen makeover services. New doors and worktops make a massive difference to how your kitchen looks and feels, without the hassle of changing everything.
How long does a kitchen makeover take compared to a full renovation?
Most kitchen makeovers take 2-3 days, while a full renovation could have your kitchen out of action for 3-6 weeks. If you need a quick kitchen makeover because you've got family visiting or you're just impatient to see results, a makeover is definitely the way to go!
Can I keep my existing kitchen layout but update the appearance?
Yes, that's exactly what a kitchen makeover is all about! We keep the basic structure and layout of your kitchen but update all the visible elements to give it a completely fresh look.
Will a kitchen makeover add value to my home in Derby?
Estate agents we work with in Derby say a fresh, modern kitchen can add 5-10% to your property value. In Derby's competitive housing market, an updated kitchen can definitely help your home sell faster and for a better price.
What are the most cost-effective kitchen makeover options?
The biggest bang for your buck usually comes from replacing cabinet doors and handles. This one change can completely transform the look of your kitchen for a relatively small outlay. Adding a new splashback and painting the walls gives you even more impact.
Can kitchen appliances be updated during a kitchen makeover?
Definitely! We can advise on energy-efficient appliances that will fit your existing spaces, or modify cabinets to accommodate new appliances if needed.
Do I need to empty my kitchen completely for a makeover?
Not at all. We usually work on one section at a time, so you'll still have access to most of your kitchen throughout the process. You'll only need to clear the areas we're actively working on.
Can kitchen cabinets be painted instead of replaced in Derby?
Yes, if your cabinet doors are in good condition but you don't like the colour or finish, painting is a great option. We use specialist cabinet paints that are hardwearing and look fantastic. It's a really inexpensive kitchen makeover option.
Do you offer warranties on your kitchen makeovers?
All our work comes with a 5-year workmanship guarantee, and the products we use carry their own manufacturers' warranties (typically 5-10 years).
Are your kitchen fitters fully qualified and insured?
All our fitters are fully qualified tradespeople with years of experience in kitchen installation. We carry comprehensive insurance for your peace of mind.
