A friend of mine doesn't like her fitted kitchen. She's thought of painting the units a different colour but is worried she'll then be annoyed by the worktops, which are standard chipboard with a rounded edge and wood-effect surface.

Without changing all the worktops what other ways are there to improve them at reasonable cost? Are there companies that will re-cover them or maybe paint them with super-tough paint?

Painting the worktops is a no-no any paint will inevitably chip and look naff. The type of worktop described can be got for £60 for a 3m length. The same goes for the doors, however there are plenty of companies specialising in replacement doors as long as the carcasses are sound.
