Kitchen doors seconds/second hand anywhere? & best store for modern lino?

sleepymy

We're in South Belfast but can travel a reasonable distance. I don't want to spend too much on the doors, I just want something that's tidy and goes with pine units so second hand would even do.

Don't fancy fake wood or tiles lino but would like to find somewhere that does more modern designs, it's a tiny floor so we can spend a few bob for the right design.

Any ideas folks?

I had replacement kitchen doors made from MDF by a joiner at a fraction of the price the stores wanted a few years back. I was selling my house and needed to tart the kitchen up a bit and a couple of doors were non-standard sizes. Joiner made the lot and routed the fronts to look like shaker doors and I painted them. I paid him for his time and bought the materials. Worth a thought.

Thanks Golden Anemone, can I ask what sort of paint you used, was it just ordinary gloss? OH glossed the doors that are on atm (cheap kitchen put in by previous tenant, doors started to peel), but it's a bit of a pig's ear tbh. He didn't take time to prime them properly then used too many coats of gloss because the wood was just drinking it up!

I used MDF primer - 2 coats as it drank it up and about 4 coats of satinwood. I rubbed down between coats and ended up with a lovely finish.

That's the trouble with husbands sleepymy, rarely take the time to do things properly!

You could probably still salvage those doors if you were to rub them down and start again and it would be even cheaper than my suggestion to replace them.
