Dream Doors. Anyone used them for kitchen makeover?

I filled the gap myself.
Bit by slow bit.
It's been done for years now, but just something to be aware of.
You get just what you pay for.

Thank you.
I like my little kettle, too, though its a bit temperamental

I thought you had as I couldn’t see a ‘mind the gap sign’😂
Good Job 👍🏻

Thank you. We were thinking of getting a quote from Joe's Doors.

We used them a few years in our old house and I was really pleased with the result.

We moved house last year and this time we used a company called Joes Doors because their quote came in lower. Equally as pleased with the work they did. They put new quartz tops over your old worktops so it’s less work / mess. Just another option for you to think about. They are a national company like Dream Doors.

A few years back their local franchisee turned up in his Mercedes and drove all over my lawn ineptly trying to turn round, although there was plenty of room, damaging the grass. I did not use him.

I had just the doors and the worktops.
I was left with a huge gap between the wall and the back of the worktops, but I hadn't paid to get that dealt with.

I can’t see a gap! Can you not have an upstand made of the same worktop material?
I like your red kettle btw it looks cute ☺️

Considering the cupboards themselves are falling apart, i guess it does look pretty good.

Its never occured to me before how hard wearing those work surfaces have been. Bargain!

Looking good!

This is tje area that gets the most use

30 years Miss A wow!

Thanks everyone for the info. I think we’ll give them a go

I had doors and handles replaced by Dream Doors. I think like most franchises it is the luck of the draw who does the work. My fellow wasn't a handyman he was a joiner, so mine are perfect and would sell my kitchen.

My worktops are still going strong.
No worn parts, as good as new, I'd say.

Yes I used them a few years ago.
They had a good choice and good workmen to fit them.
I also had new worktops, sink, taps etc.

I painted my own kitchen doors.
The very same ones I got from dream doors.

They're still going strong, and it must be around thirty years since i had them.

I’ve thought about having my kitchen doors spray painted. They’re solid wood which is why I’m loathe to replace them but what happens about the bits at the side that aren’t solid wood and can’t be removed?

We looked at replacing doors, but decide that it was too complicated, as all the surrounding edges and kickboards also needed replacing. We had our kitchen doors and drawers spray painted instead, they took the cupboard doors and drawer fronts away and did them, then came back and did all the other stuff that couldn't be moved. We bought new handles which they fitted, it looks like a new kitchen now!

Yes, I used them years ago.

The doors are still going strong, but the "wrap" they had on them did start to peel, above where the kettle sits.

Saying that, I'd imagine tou can have different finishes, real wood, or whatever you want for the doors, and mine were the budget variety.

In terms of cost and variety, I couldn't fault them.
