🔧 DIY Tips
Kickboard clip replacement is one of the easier DIY fixes:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Replacement clips (match to your unit legs)
- Possibly a flat-blade screwdriver to pop clips off
- That's literally it
📐 Doing it yourself
- Pull kickboard away from units to remove it
- Pop off old broken clips from unit legs
- Clip new ones onto legs at same positions
- Line up kickboard and push firmly into clips
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Buying wrong type of clips - loads of different styles
- Not pushing clips fully onto legs - plinth won't hold
- Forgetting to clean dust/debris off legs first - clips won't grip
- Cracking kickboard by forcing it - should clip in easily
💡 Pro trick: When removing kickboard, start at one end and work along rather than pulling middle out first. Much less likely to crack it.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Multiple kickboards loose? Do them all at once while I'm kneeling on your kitchen floor anyway.
Kickboard damaged too? If the plinth itself is cracked or split, I can replace that as well - just takes longer to measure and cut new boards.
Integrated appliances? Sometimes kickboards are more complex around dishwashers or washing machines. Still fixable, just needs more care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do kitchen kickboard clips break?
Usually from feet or mops catching them when cleaning. Or the original clips were cheap plastic that's gone brittle over time. Sometimes people pull the plinth off to retrieve something that's fallen behind and break the clips doing it.
Can you fix it without replacing the whole kitchen?
Absolutely - this is just a clip replacement. The kickboards themselves are usually fine, just the clips that hold them in have broken. New clips cost pennies and take minutes to fit.
Do I need to buy replacement clips first?
No need - I'll have standard clips in the van or can pick them up quickly. There are a few different types depending on your unit legs, so easier if I see what you need rather than risk buying wrong ones.
Will you match the color of my kickboard?
If it's just the clips that are broken, I'm not replacing the kickboard itself - just the little plastic clips that hold it on. Your existing kickboard stays in place, so color matching isn't needed. If the kickboard itself is damaged, that's a different job.
How long does it take to fix?
Usually 20-30 minutes. Pop off old broken clips, clip new ones onto the unit legs, snap kickboard back in place. Dead simple job, just fiddly getting under the units.
