    Hello, I intend to replace the interior doors at my apartment, but I would not like to move the old door frames which would involve a little demolition of the apartment. I have 5 door frames, the old veneers are scratched and in some as you can see in the photo the veneer is coming off. The doorframes are probably made of mdfu. Does anyone have any ideas for restoring them

    Nevertheless, I advise you to replace the doorframes as well, because the cost of their renovation will actually be similar to new ones. However, the real problem is to compare the labor intensity in both solutions - you will probably replace all the doorframes in one day, but their renovation will take at least days several.

    If, however, you decide to renovate the old doorframes, there are only three solutions available:
    - painting,
    - self-adhesive veneers,
    - veneering.

    If you decide on a specific solution, I will suggest how to do it.

    I happen to be in the middle of a renovation and I absolutely recommend a replacement. The markets offer a good price.

    I do not want to replace the doorframes, as it is known that this involves the destruction of tiles, already existing in the bathroom, in the hallway, etc.... maybe painting? Here a colleague from the forum, recommended me white oil matte paint. What do you think?

    It is known that it can be done without destroying the tiles ;-)

    Futrines need to be well filled and sanded before painting. In addition, you need to check whether the paint will adhere well to the PVC veneer. I believe it will not, so it needs to be removed first. I suppose that the amount of work and the cost of such an operation will far outweigh the relatively simple replacement of doorframes.Well, and in the end you have "new", not "patched" for much more money.
