How big is market for replacement doors

[jonny round boy]

I'm no longer self employed, but when I was I only ever did one replacement door job. That was for an older couple who *really* looked after their old kitchen, and as the kitchen was really small I figured it was easier to keep the carcases as they were in really good nick. The doors needed to be odd sizes, and they wanted a painted finish so I had doors custom made (pop frames/MDF panels).

I did have a couple of customers ask for replacement doors, but 99% of the time the carcases are completely shagged, and aren't worth trying to save. I always tried to persuade them to go for a full new kitchen, and if they didn't I walked away. It's just not worth the hassle IMO.
