The kitchen is often the heart of the home, and the cabinets are a big part of that. However, over time, especially in Singapore’s hot, humid climate, cabinet laminates can peel, chip, or simply go out of style, making your kitchen look old and tired. That’s an easy fix.
Kitchen cabinet laminate replacement is one of the quickest, most affordable ways to give your cabinets a new lease on life. From sleek, modern tones to timeless classics, we can make your cabinets look brand new and perfectly match your existing decor. Let us help make your kitchen look its best again!
Kitchen Cabinet Door Replacement
Your kitchen cabinet doors can take a beating, and before long, they can end up peeling, cracking, or just going out of style. With our kitchen cabinet door replacement service, we swap out the old doors for fresh, durable ones in your choice of colour, design and finish. It’s a quick, affordable way to refresh your kitchen’s look without replacing the entire cabinet structure, instantly making your space feel brighter, cleaner, and more modern.
Full Kitchen Cabinet Carpentry Relamination
If your entire cabinet structure needs a facelift, our kitchen cabinet carpentry team can re-laminate both the doors and cabinet boxes. This service is perfect when the structure is still solid, but the outer laminate has aged or bubbled. By applying a brand-new finish across the whole cabinet, we give you a completely renewed look while keeping costs much lower than a full kitchen remodel.
Custom Kitchen Carpentry Finishes
Want something unique? Our kitchen carpentry experts specialise in custom laminate finishes tailored to your style. Whether you prefer sleek gloss, warm wood textures, or modern matte tones, we’ll help you pick and apply laminates that match your kitchen design perfectly. This service is ideal if you’re aiming to create a specific mood or aesthetic while ensuring your cabinets stay sturdy and easy to maintain.
Partial Kitchen Cabinet Repairs
Sometimes you don’t need a full replacement, as just targeted repairs on certain areas might be enough to give your kitchen a fresh look. Our kitchen cabinet carpentry service lets us fix and re-laminate only the damaged areas, like a single peeling door or side panel. This is a budget-friendly option that restores your cabinets without changing everything. With careful matching of colour and texture, the repairs blend seamlessly, so your cabinets look consistent and refreshed.
Wear and Tear
Wear and tear get to everything, and kitchen cabinets undergo a great deal of daily, often rough use. It’s totally normal to see your kitchen cabinets gradually start to peel, show signs of scratches, or fade in colour. The good news is that replacing or re-laminating gives them a fresh start, making your kitchen look brand new without the cost of full cabinet replacements.
Heat and Humidity Exposure
Kitchens in Singapore are unforgiving environments, especially in our extremely hot, humid climate. Laminates often don’t hold up well under these conditions, and to make matters worse, steam from cooking, drastic temperature changes, and trapped moisture can also contribute to bubbling, peeling, and warping. That’s when laminate replacement can come in to restore the sleek look of your cabinets while also letting you choose materials and finishes designed to handle our climate better.
Accidental Damage
Life happens, and sometimes accidents take a toll on your cabinets. Whether you or another member of your household bangs into cabinets and damages the finish, even a minor accident can ruin the look of your laminate. A quick replacement will let you restore your cabinets to looking brand new, and it is a quick, stress-free way to cover up accidents and keep your kitchen looking sharp and perfect again.
Step 1: Assess Your Cabinets
First, we’ll assess your cabinets to figure out what needs to be done. We’ll check if the laminates are peeling, bubbling, or simply looking old and tired. We’ll also look at your cabinet frame and see if everything is in order. If your cabinets are structurally solid, we can go ahead and give the exterior a complete makeover, saving you the cost and trouble of a full replacement.
Step 2: Removing the Old Laminate
Next, we’ll carefully remove the existing laminate from your cabinet doors and panels, making sure not to damage the cabinet base. This step is important because a smooth, clean surface is the foundation for a flawless new look. The cleaner your base is, the better your finish will look. Once your cabinets are delaminated and stripped down, we can then proceed with applying the new coat.
Step 3: Applying the New Laminate
Here comes the fun part, which is when we apply your brand new laminate. Once you’ve chosen the design, colour, and finish that best fits your existing kitchen’s decor, our team will ensure that the laminate is perfectly aligned, the edges are neat, and everything looks perfect. This step will truly transform your cabinets, making them look fresh and stylish and saving you the cost of a full replacement.
Step 4: Final Touches and Quality Check
Our job isn’t done once the laminate is on. We’ll check every door, edge, and surface to make sure everything is as it should be. We’ll also tighten up your hinges, handles, and fittings to prolong their lifespan and have them working optimally. Once we, (and you!) are satisfied, we’ll clean up after ourselves and get out of your hair, leaving you with a brand-spankin’-new-looking kitchen!
Laminate surfaces are easily maintained but you’ll want to be gentle and skip the harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges as they can scratch or dull your finish. Use a soft cloth and mild soap mixed with water to remove grease, splatters, dirt, and grime. A quick wipe down every few days will do wonders for keeping your cabinets looking new and shiny.
Hot and humid are two environments that laminates don’t like, and in Singapore, we have them both. Add that to the humidity from a normal kitchen environment like steam from pots and kettles, and you’ve got a ticking time bomb. Try to keep the humidity to a minimum and wipe away spills or condensation quickly as this can wreak havoc on your laminates. Keep your windows open or use fans to help ventilation when you’re cooking.
It’s easy to forget, but how you open and close your cabinets makes a big difference. Slamming doors or tugging on handles roughly can loosen the laminate edges or even cause cracks over time. Teach everyone at home to be gentle with the cabinets, especially young children. Handles and hinges will also last longer, and your cabinets will stay sturdy and stylish without unnecessary wear.
Noticed a tiny chip, peel, or scratch? Don’t ignore it! Small laminate problems can spread fast if left untreated. A loose edge today might become a full panel replacement tomorrow. Quick repairs like simple touch-ups can save you time and money in the long run. If it’s a problem for a professional, call in a kitchen cabinet carpentry service to help you fix the problem quickly before it gets out of hand and ends up costing a pretty penny.

Kitchen cabinet laminate replacement is a simple and cost-effective way to give your cabinets a whole new look without tearing everything out. Instead of replacing the entire cabinet, we remove the old laminate on the doors and panels and apply a fresh one. You can choose from different colors, textures, and finishes to match your style. It’s kinda like giving your kitchen a makeover but way easier on your wallet than a full renovation.
There’s no hard and fast rule, but laminates last between 10 to 15 years, even in Singapore’s extreme climate. If you start noticing peeling or bubbling, try getting them fixed before the problem becomes an expensive one. Often, people also replace laminates to update the look of their kitchen.
The process is pretty quick compared to a full cabinet replacement. On average, most projects take just a couple of days, depending on how many cabinets you have and the level of detail involved. We’ll always give you a clear timeline upfront, so you know exactly what to expect. Our team works efficiently and precisely, so you’ll have your kitchen looking fresh and ready to use again in no time.
Taking care of your new laminate is easy! Wipe down surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and mild cleaner to keep them free from grease and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that might scratch the finish. Be mindful of heat and moisture, and always wipe spills quickly and use ventilation while cooking. Lastly, fixing small problems early helps prevent bigger problems later.
