New Polyurethane Doors vs. Resurfacing: What’s Best for Your Kitchen?

Don’t waste money on a temporary fix - here’s why new doors are the smarter choice.

When updating your kitchen or cabinetry, resurfacing old doors might seem like the cheaper option. But in reality, it’s often a short-term fix that can cost you more in the long run. If you’re after a high-end, long-lasting finish, new polyurethane doors are the way to go. Here’s why.

1. Resurfacing Doesn’t Fix the Real Problems

Old cabinet doors often hide issues like warping, water damage, or peeling laminate. Resurfacing might improve the look for a while, but it doesn’t solve the underlying problems.

New polyurethane doors are made from fresh, quality materials — no warping, no patchwork. You get a solid, clean foundation built to last.

2. Better Finish, Better Quality

Resurfaced doors rarely achieve the flawless, durable look of professionally sprayed polyurethane. DIY or in-home finishes can end up uneven, and they’re prone to chipping or peeling.

Our polyurethane doors are painted in a dust-controlled environment for a smooth, professional, and long-lasting finish — whether you want matte, satin, or high-gloss.

3. More Customisation Options

When resurfacing, you’re stuck with your current door shape and design. With new polyurethane doors, you can:

• Choose your profile (shaker, modern, traditional)

• Select from a wide range of colours

• Pick your preferred finish and edge style

You’re not limited by what’s already there — you design your dream look from scratch.

4. More Cost-Effective in the Long Run

Resurfacing might be cheaper now, but it often needs redoing after a few years — especially in busy kitchens.

New polyurethane doors are a one-time investment. They hold up to daily use, resist damage, and maintain their beautiful finish for years, saving you time and money in the future.

5. Cleaner, Quicker Installation

Resurfacing often involves sanding and painting on-site, which means dust, fumes, and disruption in your home.

New polyurethane doors are pre-finished off-site in our professional facility. They arrive ready to -install - clean, quick, and stress-free.

Upgrade Once - and Do It Right

If you’re looking to modernise your kitchen or cabinetry, don’t settle for a short-term fix. New polyurethane doors offer quality, durability, and a flawless finish that resurfacing simply can’t match.
