Hello, recently my father in law broke the bottom cupboard door (photos attached). What is the best way of reattaching? It seems any hinges that where there previously for the bottom door have been binned.

Find a hinge to match, does the bit still on the wall have a manufacturer name or number stamped on it?
 
They look like they might be 155 degree hinges.


As @Deluks said, check to see if it has a name stamped on it.

If not, it is not the end of the world. The 35mm cup hole is generally in the same place but you may find that the fitting holes for the cup deviate by a couple of mm. If so, you can superglue in some matches to fill the small screw holes and redrill. If the cruciform (the bit on the frame) is different you may need to fit the new one which is supplied with the hinge. The cruciform may need to have new holes drilled.
 
Use clip on hinges and you don’t need to match any holes in the door . If there is damage you can use hinge repair plates .
