Pricing guide
Cabinetmaking costs vary mainly with the job profile — simple adjustments are typically less involved than benchtop supply, partial replacement or full rebuilds. An initial callout visit is usually charged, and material type, finish-matching effort and whether workshop fabrication is required commonly drive variation. Removal, disposal, difficult site access or after-hours attendance can also increase the final quote.
Job type and complexity
Minor repairs and adjustments are usually quicker than partial replacements or full custom rebuilds, which take more labour and coordination.
Benchtop material and handling
Laminate and timber benchtops are typically simpler to supply and fit, while engineered or natural stone often needs a separate fabricator and more handling.
Finish matching and refinishing
Matching existing veneers or applying multi-coat finishes usually increases labour and materials due to extra sanding, staining and sealing steps.
Removal and disposal needs
Removing old cabinets or benchtops and disposing of them generally adds labour, time on site and possible access equipment.
Timing and site access
After-hours attendance, restricted access or complicated on-site trimming typically extends the job duration and affects the quote.
