The Dr. Cabinet Difference
Modern Italian cabinets are made from high-gloss lacquer, matte finish, or fine wood. Many Italian manufacturers use Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) cores. The catalyzed lacquer or conversion varnish provides the famous high-end finish. Dr. Cabinet understands these materials inside and out — and we repair them right.

Customized Solutions and Attention to Detail
We provide customized repair services. Each repair caters to the particular requirements of every cabinet. We pay attention to details for a flawless finish and return your cabinets to their previous splendor.
Kitchen Cabinet Restoration
Dr. Cabinet breathes new life into tired, damaged cabinetry. Our kitchen cabinet restoration service addresses extensive fading, heat degradation, and water damage that basic cleaning can’t fix. We restore wood finishes by lightly sanding and reapplying sealer or varnish. For MDF cores showing minor surface softening, we stabilize the area using specialized hardeners or resins. When water damage is severe, we identify and replace only the affected panels — saving you from a full cabinet replacement.
- Stabilizing surface softening in water-damaged MDF with specialized hardeners or resins
- Repairing heat-degraded modern Italian cabinet finishes
- Panel replacement for severe water damage where MDF fibers are permanently broken

Cabinet Door Repair & Replacement
Your cabinet doors are the face of your kitchen. We fix or replace damaged doors to restore your kitchen’s look. To fix deep scratches in high-gloss or lacquer finishes, we use only color-matched products. For wood veneer, we use localized repairs. Not aggressive sanding. We also install clear bumpers to cabinet doors to prevent noise and damage over time.
- Door replacement for warped or severely damaged panels
- Drawer front repair to fix cracks, dents, and peeling veneer
- Hardware replacement to upgrade hinges, handles, and soft-close mechanisms
- Color-matched scratch repair on lacquer and high-gloss finishes
Cabinet Refinishing
If your cabinets are structurally solid but look tired, refinishing is the way to go. Dr. Cabinet restores them without the cost or mess of replacing everything.
Our refinishing jobs average $3,000 to $6,000 and wrap up in about 4 to 6 days. Surface prep is where we spend real time — because if you skip that, the finish won’t last. We sand, prep, and spray with premium coatings, including special-order finishes from Italy for exact color matching.
- Full sanding and respraying with a high-end finish
- Italian-sourced coatings for authentic color and sheen
- Faded, worn surfaces brought back to life

Cabinet Care Guidance From Dr. Cabinet
After we repair or restore your cabinets, we make sure you know how to keep them looking their best and maintain aesthetics. Italian cabinets require protection from moisture to prevent warping or peeling. We recommend using dehumidifiers to control humidity and protect wood from damage. Our team walks you through the right cleaning routine , including:
- Using microfiber cloths for high-gloss and matte finishes
- Applying a specialized kitchen cleaner for grease buildup
- Following the Three-Towel System for minimal moisture contact
- Avoiding harsh chemicals and wax-based polishes that damage lacquer

Frequently Asked Questions
Is cabinet refacing cheaper than replacing everything?
A lot cheaper. Refacing runs 50-70% less than a full replacement. We keep your cabinet boxes in place and just swap out the doors and drawer fronts. Same layout, fresh look, way less money.
How long does refinishing take?
Most jobs wrap up in 4 to 6 days. Your kitchen won’t be torn apart for weeks.
Can you fix water-damaged Italian cabinets?
Honestly, it depends on the damage. If the MDF has just a little surface softening, we can usually stabilize it with hardeners or resins. But if the wood fibers are broken and swollen, those panels will probably need replacing. We’ll tell you straight when we look at it.
What kind of finish do Italian cabinets have?
Most use catalyzed lacquer or conversion varnish — not the standard polyurethane you see on regular cabinets. They might be high-gloss, matte, or fine wood veneer. We order matching coatings straight from Italy so the repair blends right in.
How do I clean my cabinets after they're repaired?
Keep it simple. Microfiber cloths work great on glossy and matte surfaces. For grease, use a cleaner made specifically for kitchens. We’ll show you the Three-Towel System so you use as little moisture as possible. And please — no harsh chemicals or wax polishes. They’ll ruin the finish.
Do you give free quotes?
Yep. Free consultation first, then a clear quote so you know the numbers before anything starts.
Can you fix deep scratches on lacquer doors?
We can. We use color-matched products that fill and blend the scratch. Once we’re done, the surface looks smooth again — like it never happened.
