Cabinet Repair in Abu Dhabi
A kitchen or bathroom cabinet can look fine and still fail in small ways: a door that drops, a drawer that catches or a panel that swells. ALHUD Technical LLC provides cabinet repair for villas, apartments, offices and shops in Abu Dhabi, fixing the fault instead of replacing the whole unit.
Most cabinet problems are hardware or moisture problems. Both are easier and cheaper to fix early.
Common Cabinet Problems We Fix
- Sagging or crooked doors: loose hinges or worn screw holes
- Broken or stiff hinges: replaced or adjusted
- Drawers that stick or fall: runners re-aligned or replaced
- Swollen or peeling panels: damaged by moisture or steam
- Chipped edges and corners: filled and refinished
- Loose wall units: re-fixed to the wall with suitable anchors
For new fixings on tiled walls, see our kitchen wall mounting page.
Hinges and Door Alignment
Soft-close and concealed hinges can usually be adjusted in three directions, so a crooked door is often a quick fix. When the screw holes are stripped, we repair them with plugs or fit a new hinge plate. Replacing a worn hinge costs far less than a new door.
Drawers and Runners
A drawer that catches may have a bent runner, a worn roller or a loose box. We re-align, replace or tighten the parts so the drawer runs smoothly and stays on its rails. Overloaded drawers are the usual cause, so we also suggest sensible load limits.
Moisture and Swelling
Kitchens and bathrooms in Abu Dhabi see steam, humidity and the occasional leak. Particle board and MDF swell when wet, especially near sinks, so damaged panels may need replacing. We trace the water source first. If a leak is the cause, our handyman services team can help find and fix it.
When to Repair and When to Replace
A hinge, runner or door replacement is a repair. A cabinet with water-damaged carcasses or a failed countertop is more serious. For full replacements, our cabinet installation team can fit new units.
