Advice on Fitted wardrobes

in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
So we have 2 floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes (sliding doors) in our house which both look like they were built in the 1980s! Would really like to re-vamp them. Any recommendations on companies to use or rough estimate on price? Would i pay less for a re-vamp than I would if i was having them fitted entirely from scratch? None of the websites I have visited give any estimate of price at all.

Thanks

    They all want to sell you new ones. Have a look on pinterest or yourtube for some ideas. If the doors and rails are good then keep them and repaint.

    See if modern doors can use the existing tracks. Ikea do some nice modern ones.

    I'll be astonished if they can. Life just doesn't seem to work like this.
