Pricing guide

The cost of cabinet refacing is driven mainly by how many doors and drawer fronts are being replaced and the materials or finish level chosen. Including benchtop supply, templating and cutouts or finding structural issues with carcasses typically increases the scope. Callout fees, regional labour rates and after-hours attendance can also affect the final price.

  • Number of doors and drawer fronts

    Larger quantities increase labour and materials needs and therefore tend to raise overall scope.

  • Benchtop inclusion and templating

    Including a benchtop adds templating, cutouts and fitting work and uses different material allowances than door-only refacing.

  • Material and finish level

    Standard laminate or stock doors are generally simpler than premium finishes, which usually require more time and care.

  • Carcass condition and repairs

    Refacing typically assumes carcasses are sound; discovered structural damage or repair needs generally expand the work required.

  • Timing and site coordination

    Callout fees, after-hours attendance and coordination with plumbers or electricians for cutouts can change how the job is scheduled and priced.

Frequently asked questions

How long does refacing usually take?
Timing typically depends on the number of doors/drawers, whether a benchtop is included and if any carcass repairs are needed. Simple door-only refacing is usually quicker, while benchtop templating and cutouts add time.
Does refacing include benchtop supply and fit?
Only when a benchtop-included scope is chosen does the work generally cover templating, basic cutouts and fitting allowances for standard benchtop materials. If benchtop inclusion is unclear, a conservative scope may be used until details are confirmed.
Can refacing fix damaged cabinet carcasses?
Refacing usually assumes carcasses are structurally sound and focuses on doors and drawer fronts. If structural repairs are required, these are typically outside a standard refacing scope and may need additional work.
Do cabinet makers need to be registered?
Cabinet makers may need to be registered for certain work in some Australian states, and requirements vary by jurisdiction. For benchtop work that involves plumbing or electrical cutouts, coordination with licensed tradespeople is often required and may be covered only in specific scopes.
