reface
Redo the front
To reface something is to put a new surface on it.
Kitchen cabinets are refaced by replacing doors and drawer fronts while keeping the existing frames: Refacing the cabinets cost half as much as replacing them.
Buildings, fireplaces, and countertops can also be refaced.
The word emphasizes renewal of appearance rather than structural replacement.
