Questions
Cabinet repair in Dubai — your questions answered
How much does cabinet repair cost in Dubai?
Cabinet and cupboard work typically runs AED 950–3,950 as a guide, with the median around AED 2,050. Small fixes — a hinge, a lock, a single drawer, one added shelf — are fixed price from around AED 150–300. Larger work depends on material and finish. See our full price guide.
Is it worth repairing or should I replace?
Usually repairing — and we'll tell you honestly which. A cabinet with a broken drawer, dropped hinge or stuck lock is a cheap fix. We only recommend replacing when the carcass itself has failed. Our repair or replace guide has the real cost comparison: replacing a cabinet costs about 7x what fixing it does.
Can you fix a drawer that won't open properly?
Yes — drawers are the job we're asked about most. Sticking, dropping or jamming is nearly always the runners or slides, and it's typically a quick, low-cost repair.
Can you resize a cabinet so my appliance fits?
Yes. Cutting down a unit for a dishwasher, fridge or washing machine is very common work. Send a photo and the appliance dimensions.
Can you repair a water-damaged cabinet under the sink?
Often, yes. If the damage is limited to a panel or base we replace that section rather than the whole unit. If the board has fully swollen, we'll say so — patching blown chipboard doesn't last.
Do you fix cupboard locks?
Yes — stuck locks, broken handles and missing keys. We can usually open it and fit a new lock on the same visit.
Can you upgrade my hinges to soft-close?
Yes. Soft-close hinges and runners can be retrofitted to most existing cabinets — a small change that makes an old kitchen feel new.
Do you work on bathroom and kitchen cabinets?
Both, plus bedroom, store room and office units. For full kitchen work see our kitchen cabinets page.

The repair most companies would rather not quote
There's not much money in fixing a drawer, which is why most Dubai carpentry companies would rather sell you a new kitchen. We take the small jobs — and they're the reason customers call us back for the big ones. See our repair or replace guide for the real numbers.
We handle cabinet repair and cupboard repair across Dubai: drawer repair (our most-requested cabinet job), doors that won't close or sit crooked, hinge replacement and soft-close upgrades, stuck locks and broken handles, water-damaged units under sinks and in bathrooms, and cabinets resized to fit a dishwasher or new fridge. When a rebuild genuinely is the right call, we'll build and fit a replacement to match. If the units are sound but just look tired, furniture painting and polishing is often the cheaper answer.
