Your kitchen is more than just your stove and cookware, but it is also about your cabinets. At the heart of each kitchen are kitchen cabinets, responsible for keeping things organised, adding to the aesthetics, and protecting your utensils from grime and dust. However, with frequent use, wear and tear is natural, and hinges will loosen, doors get misaligned, and panels can warp or look old and dated.
That’s where our kitchen cabinet repair service in Singapore comes in. At Pro Handyman, we specialise in fixing all kinds of cabinet issues, big or small, to bring back both function and beauty to your kitchen. Our team of skilled technicians are prepared with top-quality materials and friendly service, ready to make your kitchen cabinet repairs quick, reliable, and fuss-free.
Singaporeans are all about food, so its no wonder that the kitchen is the heart of most Singaporean homes. It is where families cook, eat, laugh, and enjoy a lifetime of precious memories together. An often forgotten aspect of your kitchen are your cabinets, which play a huge role in how your kitchen looks and feels. Over time, your cabinets can get damaged, refuse to close, or simply look old and dated. That’s where our kitchen carpentry services can help. We’ll give your cabinets some TLC so your kitchen continues to look and work at its best!
Like any physical object, kitchen cabinet doors can become scratched, broken, or simply look faded and tired, significantly affecting the overall look of your kitchen aesthetics. The good news is that you don’t need all-new cabinets, but replacing the doors can instantly refresh the look of your kitchen. Our team will help you choose from a range of modern designs and finishes so you can complement your kitchen’s current decor perfectly.
Over time, cabinet laminates can peel, chip, or lose their shine, making your kitchen look worn out. Laminate replacement is a cost-effective way to give your cabinets a stylish facelift without changing the entire structure. You can choose from a wide range of colours and textures to match your home’s design, and our team of dedicated kitchen specialists will help ensure a neat, durable finish that instantly transforms your cabinets and keeps them looking fresh for years.
Sink cabinets are the most vulnerable to water leaks, mould, stains, and damage, which can lead to rot, structural damage, and generally faster wear and tear. Damaged sink cabinets can not only be unsightly, but they can also pose a safety and health hazard. Our repair service will restore your sink cabinets’ strength and appearance, protecting them against moisture and Singapore’s high humidity, ensuring your cabinets stay sturdy and reliable for years to come.
Once water has seeped into your cabinets, repairing is best left to the professionals. Your cabinets might already be warping, swelling, or rotting. If left unchecked, this can quickly spread to other cabinets and weaken the entire structure. Our team will use quality materials designed to resist water damage to repair and replace the affected sections, ensuring your cabinets are safe and durable again. If the cabinets are too far gone, we’ll help replace them with sturdy, reliable ones.
At times, you might have to tweak the size or height of your cabinets, perhaps to accommodate new appliances or customise your space by installing new shelves or drawers. Our team will quickly create functional solutions that fit into your needs, all the while keeping your existing kitchen design and decor in mind. We can tailor-make each solution to suit your specific needs and help you improve the efficiency and functionality of your kitchen!
If a single door is damaged, there’s no point replacing your entire cabinet structure. You’ll only have to replace the faulty door, and your kitchen will be as good as new. We provide a wide range of ready-made kitchen cabinet doors in stylish, elegant designs that can perfectly complement your space. Our team will help you select the perfect door in line with your existing decor, then install it with precision and efficiency, ensuring a snug fit.
Wear and Tear from Daily Use
Kitchen cabinets are opened and closed multiple times a day, so it’s natural for hinges, handles, and doors to loosen or wear out over time. This everyday use can cause squeaky hinges, misaligned doors, and small cracks in the structure. While these issues may start small, ignoring them can lead to bigger problems later. Regular checks and timely repairs keep your cabinets functional and help extend their lifespan.
Water Damage
Cabinets near sinks or dishwashers are especially prone to water damage. Constant exposure to moisture can cause wood to swell, warp, or rot, while laminates may bubble or peel. Left untreated, water damage can weaken the entire cabinet structure and create unpleasant odors or mold growth. The best way to prevent this is to fix leaks quickly, use water-resistant materials, and repair damaged sections before the problem spreads further.
Poor Quality Materials
Cabinets built with low-grade wood, thin laminates, or cheap hardware often don’t last very long. They may look fine at first but start showing issues like chipping, sagging shelves, or loose hinges within a short time. Investing in good-quality materials pays off in the long run, as they resist wear and tear much better. If your current cabinets are suffering, upgrades or targeted replacements can improve durability and appearance.
Improper Installation
Even the best materials won’t perform well if the cabinets weren’t installed correctly. Poor installation can lead to uneven doors, unstable frames, or gaps that let in moisture and pests. Over time, this not only affects how your cabinets look but also how well they function. Professional installation ensures everything is properly aligned, secured, and finished — preventing unnecessary problems down the line and keeping your kitchen safe and sturdy.
Heat and Humidity
Singapore’s humid climate, combined with the heat from cooking, can cause serious stress on kitchen cabinets. Wood may expand and contract, while laminates can warp or lose their adhesive bond. This constant exposure to changing temperatures weakens cabinet structures over time. Choosing the right finishes and materials helps reduce these issues, and proper ventilation in the kitchen goes a long way in protecting your cabinets from long-term damage.
Heavy Loads and Misuse
Kitchen cabinets are designed to carry weight, but overloading shelves with heavy cookware, bottles, or appliances can cause sagging, cracks, and even broken hinges. Similarly, using cabinet doors as makeshift handles or stepping stools can weaken them. Treating your cabinets gently and storing items appropriately helps prevent unnecessary strain. Reinforcing shelves or adding organizers can also make a big difference, ensuring your cabinets stay strong and reliable.
Regular Cleaning
Just like other parts of your kitchen, your cabinets could do with a little TLC now and again. A simple cleaning routine can involve wiping down surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent to remove grease, dirt, and grime. Don’t use overly abrasive cleaners that might damage the laminates or wood finishes, and pay special attention to cabinet doors near the stove and sink, as these are the areas that are likely to collect more grime.
Ventilation and Moisture Control
Moisture is the enemy of most moving components and your kitchen cabinets are no different, especially in Singapore’s incredibly humid climate. Always wipe spills immediately and keep sink areas dry to prevent warping or swelling. Good ventilation, like switching on the hood or keeping windows open, helps reduce excess humidity and protects your cabinets. Using mats inside sink cabinets can also stop leaks from spreading.
Periodic Inspection
Checking your cabinets regularly helps catch small problems before they turn into major, costly repairs. Every few months, take a few minutes to look at hinges, handles, tracks, and shelves. Tighten any loose screws, watch for peeling laminates, and notice if doors feel misaligned. Small fixes like these can make a big difference in keeping your cabinets stable and reliable, and it takes mere minutes each week to make sure your cabinets are in tip-top shape.
Be Gentle
Treating your cabinets with care helps them last much longer. Avoid slamming doors or pulling too hard on handles, as this puts unnecessary strain on hinges and fittings. Don’t overload shelves with heavy pots or appliances, and distribute weight evenly to prevent sagging. Teaching kids and family members to use cabinets gently also makes a big difference. If possible, you can also install soft-close hinges that use a spring mechanism to gently close your doors.
