I have managed to break a panel on one of our kitchen unit doors:

Does anyone here who does more of these things, know if this design is

around? I think it was a 'limed oak effect' and that it may have
originally
come from Magnet& Southern.

Is this likely to be replaceable with a match or near match, or does one
have to change the whole set of frontages to 'repair' such damage?

Much appreciate any pointers at where I might get a replacement.

Cheers,

Wife bought a new fitted bedroom a couple of years ago from a company
called creative joinery. Forget them, but what they used to do was machine
the doors out of whatever they were made of and send them to a company
that shrink wrapped the laminate onto it.
If you can find a similar Co. in your area, they might be able to help.

Thanks Dave,

Since my first post, other comments have made me realise these are wood
panelled in oak, but the finish looks to be some clever lacquer effect
rather than a laminate per se. I've emailed a few co's and am awaiting
responses (if any: I find a lot of places don't seem to respond to email
all that reliably.)

I doubt you'd get a decent colour match by sending pics by email. When
I was in a similar position I took a sample to several companies until
I found something close enough. The colours in the pictures are often
very different in real life.
