Hi Guys

I hope you can help me with this problem. I've just moved into a property & in the kitchen the back of the 2 bottom kitchen cupboards are bowing outwards leaving a gap between the cupboard & the back board, I know the kitchen probably had damp & that's what has caused this but as the property is rented I don't want to spend a fortune on damp proofing etc, the kitchen is a bodge job anyway, looks like it's been put in by a cowboy or by a DIYer, just thought I would ask if you had any ideas for a quick fix to either re-attach the backboard to the cupboard or if there is a way to replace it without removing the worktop & before people say ask the landlord to do it I am just trying to explore all possibilities first as I have a feeling it will be another hack job to fix it & ibwould rather try something myself first

Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

remove the back panel screw a 1x1" baton around the back
trim the panel or cut new panel to sit on the front off the timber screw or glue onto the timber

Well I don't know what a 1 x 1" baton is so I think I will get a new piece of board cut and attach it in there, thanks for the advice, I would never have thought of that to be honest, guess that's why you're the professional

Cheers mate

baton=piece off timber for support

Ah got you, it all makes sense now

Thanks a lot
