With any sort of home refurbishment, there’s worry that the cost involved is simply not worth the result. This can lead people to live in conditions they slowly become unenchanted with, leading to less enthusiasm around inviting people over, and less time spent in certain areas of the home. When your kitchen becomes tired and underused, it may be screaming for a new look – and it can cost a lot less than you think.
Thinking about kitchen refacing can conjure long construction times and big budgets. It’s hard to know where to start, who to call, and how to communicate a vision. To begin with, it’s always wise to get advice from professionals, and to hold off on chopping and hacking at countertops yourself before a plan is established. In most cases, DIY is not the way to go!
What is Included in Kitchen Refacing?
Your kitchen can be refaced modestly, and Caledonian Living pride ourselves on delivering results that clients can be proud of. Refacing includes replacing worn out cupboard doors and drawer fronts, updating fixtures and handles, and transforming worktops. Implementing refaced kitchen cabinets can offer a vastly different look, and these small changes can make a huge difference to how you perceive your kitchen.
What is Included in Kitchen Fitting?
Kitchen fitting differs from refacing, as this will include stripping out core components of the room and fitting them with new ones: sinks and taps, ovens and hobs, lighting and flooring – all can be replaced and transformed for a totally new style that suits your preferences. Naturally, this will cost more and take longer than a simple reface, but the trade-off is a virtually new kitchen in every regard but location.
And to answer the common question: Do kitchen fitters take out old kitchens? Yes, Caledonian Living look after every stage of the process, from the careful removal of your old units to the fitting of the new design. You won’t have to lift a finger.

What is the Most Expensive Part of a Kitchen Remodel?
When it comes to full kitchen remodels, cabinetry is often the most expensive element, closely followed by worktops and appliances. High-quality fitted units, durable surfaces, and modern appliances add to the cost but also define the look, feel, and functionality of the space. Caledonian Living can help you balance your vision with your budget, ensuring you invest in the features that matter most to you.
How Much Should I Pay for a Kitchen Reface?
One of the biggest advantages of a kitchen reface is the affordability. While a brand-new fitted kitchen can run into tens of thousands of pounds, a reface can often be achieved for less than £3,000. This makes it an attractive option for homeowners who want a big impact without the financial strain of a full refit.
