What Kitchen Hinge Replacement Involves

- Hinge arm snapped or deformed from heavy use
- Door falling or drooping because mounting plate screws have pulled out
- Hinge mechanism stiff or no longer springing closed
- Old-style hinges replaced as part of kitchen refresh
Typical time on site: Half a day for a full kitchen; under two hours for a few doors.
Pricing for Kitchen Hinge Replacement in Reading
Our kitchen hinge replacement service in Reading starts from £60. The final price depends on the scope of work — number of units affected, whether replacement parts are required, and access within the property.
We always confirm the price before any work begins. For straightforward jobs where the scope is clear from the initial description, we will provide a fixed quote when you get in touch. For more complex situations where we need to assess on site first, we will quote a maximum price at the beginning of the visit and will not exceed it without your explicit agreement.

Kitchen Repairs in Reading
Reading's housing stock ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the town centre and inner suburbs to 1930s semis across Tilehurst and Whitley, with modern apartment blocks and new-build estates near the station and riverfront. Caversham to the north of the Thames offers a mix of period properties and inter-war detached homes at the premium end of the market.
Reading's Berkshire location means Berkshire pricing applies — see our pricing page for details.
Reading's inner-city Victorian terraces frequently have galley kitchens in rear additions, where maximising unit storage and integrating appliances neatly requires careful survey work and precise fitting. Newer apartment buildings in the town centre may have building management restrictions on delivery times and shared-lift usage that we coordinate in advance.
Once hinges are replaced we carry out a full three-way adjustment across the whole kitchen as standard, ensuring every door is perfectly aligned — no extra charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
If a door droops, swings open on its own, or will not stay closed, the issue is usually adjustment rather than replacement. If a hinge arm is visibly bent, cracked, or the spring has lost its tension entirely, replacement is needed. We will assess all of your hinges during the visit and advise which need replacing and which simply need adjustment — we will never replace a hinge that only needs setting.
Yes — we work with all major kitchen brands. Most modern kitchen cabinets use standard 35mm concealed hinges from manufacturers such as Blum, Hettich, or Grass, which are widely available. Older or budget kitchen ranges sometimes use non-standard hinge systems; we will identify your hinge type before sourcing replacements.
We carry a range of standard replacement hinges on our vans, and for most common kitchen brands we will have the right hinge with us on the day. If you have a less common kitchen range or a specific requirement, we may need to source the hinges in advance — we will confirm this when you book.
A full kitchen hinge replacement — fitting new hinges to every door in an average 15–20 door kitchen — typically takes half a day. We also carry out a full alignment check and adjustment on every door as we go, so the kitchen is fully set up and looking its best by the time we leave.
