I have some built in wardrobes ( put in a long time ago by a previous
home owner) . The doors are slatted panel type things - I think they
are called Louvre doors?

Anyway, I am fed up with them and want to change them but my husband
says its too expensive to try and do that and besides the doors
aren't standard sized . Two are 18" wide and two are 21" wide. The
main doors are 6ft long and the little cupboard doors are 18" deep.

Is it possible to find a cheap alternative or to put some panelling
over them to cover up the slatted bits?
They are very difficult to clean and a nightmare to paint and I would
like something easier to deal with. Preferably white but I will
paint it if I have to.

Can you also explain to me how I might do it easily? I am not much
good beyond a hammer and a few nails or tacks.

Also something that doesn't take too long as I will have to do the
whole job in less than 8 hours ( whilst he is out).

You could make some replacement doors out of white contiboard. You can buy
that in various widths (including 18" and 21") and in 6' or 8' lengths.

You would have to cut them off to length (and ideally lip the tops and
bottoms with iron-on edging) and screw hinges and handles/knobs on, etc.

Whether or not you can do it in 8 hours depends on your skill level and the
tools available to you. Most competent D-I-Y-ers probably could.
