cheap kitchen cupboard doors?

Hi

Can anyone suggest somewhere I can buy cupboard doors for my kitchen? Want to re-vamp it on a budget.

I've been flicking through the ikea book, but can't see prices for door fronts only so they may have let me down.

Many Thanks

    Have you looked at B & Q IT kitchens they are often reducing their doors and they can be as low as £6 a door in my old house I did a kitchen from their IT range and it worked out great and really looked the part afterwards.
    I need to do my kitchen in this house and I will be doing an IT kitchen again.
    I have also looked at Ikea but as their pricing isnt clear I havent pursued a one with them I am also unsure on their sizing

    Ikea doors come in very odd sizes, they probably won't fit a standard Britsh kitchen;)

    I would also recommend B & Q.

    We have an MFI clearance centre by us but everytime I visit the style of doors available seem to be quite dated.:confused:

    Recently Bought New Doors From Mfi. Ikea Are Odd Sizes And Wouldn't Fit. Haggled With Salesman From Mfi And Managed To Knock Quite A Bit Off The Price. Also Sold My Old Cupboard Doors On Ebay For £30 So Didn't Have To Take Them To The Tip And Got A Bit Of Money For Them. If You Do This Don't Forget To Take Off The Hinges Though As They Don't Come With Doors From Mfi, They Are Extra.

    If you can't find the correct size of doors, paint the cupboards and put on new handles. My neighbour's kitchen looks like new and all he did was paint the cupboards, tiles and walls then change the worktops and flooring. Looks great at a fraction of the cost of a new one.

    Screwfix do cupboard doors, so may be worth a try.https://www.screwfix.com
    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.

    I also vote for painting the doors.Did this to mine, gave them new handles (from Ikea-really cheap) and then a new worktop. Will last certainly a few more years. I gave the doors a clear varnish to make them a bit ore durable and 12 moths on they are still good

    Really?

    They're certainly standard widths etc

    Bought B&Q ones, cheap on their website as they were being discontinued.

    If painting be sure to use the correct primer and clean any grease off beforehand!
