How Much Do IKEA Replacement Kitchen Fronts Cost?
How Much Do IKEA Replacement Kitchen Fronts Cost?
Many customers search for a simple answer to this question — but the reality is that every kitchen uses different combinations of doors, drawers, and tall units. This makes it impossible to give a universal “kitchen price” without misleading people.
What we can explain clearly is how the pricing system works.
And once you understand the structure, it becomes easy to calculate your own project accurately by adding your specific fronts to the basket.
Below is a complete breakdown of how Faktum UK prices IKEA replacement kitchen fronts, why the model is designed this way, and what costs do and don’t change depending on your choices.
Why Faktum UK Prices Are Structured the Way They Are
Most customers assume that door design, colour, or finish affects the price — but that’s rarely the case when ordering from Faktum UK.
The real factors behind the cost of a kitchen front are:
how large the door is
how much material it uses
whether it uses a specialised manufacturing method
In other words:
Two doors of the same size cost the same — even if they have different designs or colours.
This keeps pricing transparent and predictable.
Customers can choose the aesthetic they want without paying a premium for style.
Disclaimer: It’s important to note that this pricing model is specific to Faktum UK — other manufacturers often charge extra for certain colour, profiles or finishes.
Pricing for the Traditional Door Range (W08-W76)
(This is where most customers shop.)
All doors in this range begin with W (W08, W09, W24, W28 etc.) and follow a simple rule:
Price is related to the size of the front, not design or colour.
This means:
A white W08 costs the same as a Cosmic Grey W24 of the same size.
Shaker doors, flat doors, and profiled designs all cost the same if they share dimensions.
Premium colours like Parisian Blue or California Oak do not have higher prices than basic white.
This model gives customers full creative control without cost penalties.
Exceptions: Products With their Own Pricing Structure
1. Integrated Handle Fronts (Design U12)
These fronts require additional machining because the handle is carved directly into the door.
How pricing works:
- Each size has it’s own price
- Colour does not change the price
- Design remains consistent across all colours
2. High Gloss Fronts
High gloss requires a multi-stage coating and polishing process.
Pricing model:
- Each size has a fixed price
- Colour selection does not affect cost
3. Real Wood Veneer & Custom NCS/RAL Colours
These ranges allow complete design freedom.
Pricing model:
- Each size has a fixed base price
- Colour selection does not change cost
- A single surcharge may apply if the customer chooses:
- A custom colour (NCS/RAL)
- A gloss level other than matt (30)
- A real-wood veneer finish
Important:
The surcharge is applied once per order, not per door.
This keeps customisation affordable even for larger kitchens.

Why We Don't Publish "Example Kitchen Prices"
Many customers ask, “What does a full kitchen cost?”
The honest answer: It depends entirely on the number and sizes of the fronts in your layout.
Publishing example kitchens can mislead customers because:
Some kitchens use many drawer fronts
Others include tall pantry doors
Some layouts mix ranges
Size distribution varies drastically
A “typical kitchen price” would be inaccurate for most people.
The most reliable way to see your true project cost is simply:
- Select your door range
- Add the fronts that match your kitchen
- Review the basket for an exact, personalised total
This ensures correctness every time.

Choose any style or colour — the price depends only on size.
Yes. Faktum UK uses the same size-based pricing model for both METOD and discontinued FAKTUM kitchens. A front of a given size is priced the same whether it is made for METOD or for FAKTUM, as long as it belongs to the same product range.
Because every kitchen layout is different, the most accurate way to see your total cost is to add the exact fronts you need to the basket. Once your doors and drawer fronts are in the cart, you will see a precise price for your specific project, including the current shipping cost.
No. The price you see in the basket is based on the size of each front, plus any clearly marked one-time surcharge for special options such as custom NCS/RAL colour or gloss level. Shipping is also shown upfront at checkout and is capped at around £199. There are no additional hidden charges.
