Changing doors on fitted wardrobes

Can this be done? I love the idea of fitted wardrobes, but in the house that I'm in the process of buying, they have mirrored doors on the inbuilt wardrobes which aren't for me. Would it be very costly to change them?

    I had new doors made for fitted wardrobes after moving into this house a year or so ago. I had a carpenter make them for me & was able to choose the shaker style I prefered, but there were lots of options.

    Mine is a 4 door run, the type with the smaller storage doors above & it cost about £350 to get done. The carpenter also took away the old doors for me & took them to the tip, which was handy as I'm not a driver so could have been stuck with having to pay a waste company to remove them.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    Are you going to keep the same sliding door type, i'm sure i've seen just the doorsfor sale when people already have the track.
    As a cheap alternative if you don't like the mirrors, could you find some nice wallpaper or sticky stuff and just change them to suit your decor.

    Thanks. These are not sliding doors, but the normal opening ones. There are 4 doors, or could be 6. 350£ sounds good.
