repair or replace cabinets?

My kitchen is L shaped. There are 2 bottom cabinets along the long arm, a corner sink, with the dishwasher to the right of the sink. The dishwasher leaks, and has damaged the bottom shelf of the cabinets. can those bottom shelves be removed and replaced or do I just replace the entire cabinets?

If that bottom shelf is removed, will the structure of the cabinet be compromised? One repair man--out of 3--said it would be. (The fellow today.)

I just got an estimate on that, the fellow said it would be better, the cabinet wouldn't stay together if the shelf was removed, that a new one couldn't be put in... and as cheap to replace the cabinets. He'll call with an estimate later today. We're talking of close to $2000.00. What say you?
Do I replace the entire cabinets, or the bottom shelf?
