Cherry Kitchen door Covering
[Deleted User]
Posts: 7,323 Forumite
I am moving out of my rented house. There is a very old kitchen in place with straight (no raised bits) cherry doors. The one under the sink has become delaminated but the surface is still smooth and in good condition underneath the laminate.
I can buy a new door for £30 but wonder if its possible to just replace the laminate (assuming I can find a matching shade of cherry).
I have to be honest, I don't want to pay out more than I have to as I've done far more to this house than I should have had to lol. But I will replace the door if I have to. Would rather not. As the house is going to be sold I suspect my money will go straight down the drain and the kitchen thrown out but obviously i have to meet my obligations as a tenant anyway.
Would anyone know where I can start looking? When I put cherry laminate into ebay, I get flooring!

First of all, I'd be questioning whether you need to replace it. If it's delaminated because of an accident or carelessness on your part then fair enough. If it's just age and fair wear and tear then there's no obligation to, you can't be expected to make an old kitchen look like new.Solar install June 2022, Bath

I think that could lead to a long argument and to be honest its something I would rather avoid. If I can repair it, its easier.0

Rather than searching on online stores, why don't you check local dealers? See if you can get a reasonable deal for it.0
