Pricing guide

Cost is driven mainly by the repair complexity — cosmetic fixes are typically much simpler than component replacement or partial structural rebuilds. Jobs that need workshop fabrication, multiple visits or hard-to-find parts usually increase the scope. After-hours attendance and difficult site access can also raise the final price.

  • Damage type and severity

    Minor cosmetic work is usually quicker than component replacement or structural repairs, which add labour and scope.

  • Workshop fabrication and visit count

    Repairs that require off-site joinery, multiple visits or refitting typically take longer and broaden the work involved.

  • Parts availability and custom pieces

    Common replacement hardware is usually straightforward, while rare or custom panels and hardware can require ordering and specialist work.

  • Materials supplied by homeowner

    Providing your own doors, panels or finishes can often reduce the materials allowance a tradesperson factors in, though fitting and finishing still take time.

  • Access and timing of attendance

    Difficult access, tight site conditions or after-hours attendance generally increase the time required and the overall cost.

Frequently asked questions

How long will cabinet repairs usually take?
Small cosmetic fixes are often completed in a single visit. Component replacements or partial rebuilds may need workshop time and one or more return visits, so those jobs typically take longer.
Can I supply my own materials or doors?
Yes, supplying materials is usually accepted and can often reduce the materials allowance a tradesperson applies. Providers will typically need to confirm compatibility and may still charge for fitting and finishing.
Do cabinet makers need to be registered?
This trade typically requires registration rather than an unrestricted contractor licence. It's usually advisable to confirm the cabinet maker is appropriately registered and able to provide any required compliance documentation.
What if hidden damage is found later?
If hidden rot, mould or wider structural issues are discovered, the repair scope will usually increase and may move to a partial rebuild regime. In those cases, a revised scope and further work are typically recommended.

Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to cabinet makers — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
