Five year old kitchen has the laminate(or whatever the covering is) bubbling off one of the doors in the centre.

Did anyone have this type of issue with a kitchen door.

and is there anything that can be done.

I have the same issue you had with Wren kitchens with bubbling doors. Did you manage to resolve yours with them?

I hope so. It was nearly a year ago. ?

Why are so many old threads being resurrected these days? We have had a spate of them of late.
On Mumsnet you get a warning that “this is an old thread, why not start a new one” or something to that effect. We could do with that on Gransnet too.

Hope you have success chasing your kitchen suppliers.

One of the cabinets in our kitchen, above the toaster, has a door with the bottom edge lifting. I did manage to stick it back using a warm iron and a cloth to protect the door.
I think it must have been the rising warmth that unstuck it!

This happened to us. I think it was steam from the electric kettle. We moved it to a centre worktop which has no cupboards above. I too fixed it with the iron. Same thing happened in the caravan. It's very annoying that units can't withstand heat or steam.

My daughter soon saw the paint finish flaking away minutely in her brand new house. (She had only wiped the doors down with a damp cloth!)

They replaced all the doors and drawer fronts in a day - with a superior type (that should have been there to start with).

Obviously, they were cutting corners and hoping people wouldn't notice (my eyesight isn't that good) or would blame themselves/their cleaners or cleaning efforts.

Many times when a new thread has been started people get blasted for starting a new thread when there is one already. Also there are often good suggestions on the old thread that would not be there in a new one. At the end of the day what does it matter as long as the new posts are relevant to the original post

Mine has started to come adrift on the end piece that goes next to the Cooker, both sides. It was fine until the new cooker arrived so I guess it’s the heat the comes from the ovens.
My kitchen is nearly 18 years old and so far the rest of it is ok, but these 2 uprights look bad.

Usually the thread revivers are advertising something and they probably ignore the warning that it is an old thread. I don't think people jump on someone who has started a thread on a subject already covered if the first thread has dropped off the "active" list.

Sometimes someone will put a link to the previous thread. I do this, if I remember that all has been said before and if I can find the thread. I'm not sure anyone ever follows the links though.
