Pricing guide

Costs are driven mainly by the level of finish and how much fabrication is required versus on-site installation. Refacing existing doors is generally less involved than full custom joinery, while multi-stage sprayed or 2‑pack finishes and detailed trims typically increase labour and visits. Inclusion of benchtops or any required structural, plumbing or electrical work will also affect the overall scope.

  • Finish level and detailing

    Bespoke timber work and multi-stage sprayed or 2-pack finishes usually require more fabrication and finishing labour than standard finishes.

  • Scope: full cabinetry vs refacing

    Refurbish or door-only work assumes existing carcasses are sound and is typically less involved than supplying and installing complete cabinet systems.

  • Fabrication versus on-site labour

    Custom joinery often needs workshop fabrication plus multiple visits for measure, templating and installation, increasing time compared with simpler installs.

  • Benchtops and specialist items

    Benchtops and specialist components are handled separately or via variants, so including them changes the overall job scope and coordination needs.

  • Structural, plumbing or electrical work

    Major structural alterations or trades work (plumbing/electrical) are excluded from standard cabinetry scope and usually add to project complexity if required.

Frequently asked questions

Do cabinet makers need to be registered?
Cabinet makers are typically required to hold registration for trade work in Australia; registration status can vary by state or territory. You should confirm the provider's registration and any relevant credentials when obtaining quotes.
How long will the cabinetry project usually take?
Timelines vary with scope — simple door refacing is usually quicker than full bespoke joinery. Custom projects often need workshop fabrication plus separate measure and installation visits, so expect multiple appointments for more complex work.
Will you supply benchtops and appliances?
Benchtops may be included or excluded depending on the chosen variant and scope, while appliance supply is generally treated as a separate item. Plumbing and electrical connections are usually outside standard cabinetry supply and should be coordinated with those trades.
Can you reface doors instead of full replacement?
Yes — the refurbish/doors-and-drawer-fronts option typically applies when existing carcasses are structurally sound and the layout stays the same. If carcasses are damaged or major reconfiguration is needed, a full replacement or standard profile is usually more appropriate.
Is the SureQuote estimate a quote, and why can a tradie's quote be different?
No. Your estimate is a guide price for a typical job that matches your answers. A tradie prices your actual job in their quote, once they've seen things like access, condition, materials and the full scope. Read the full answer
What happens after I submit my job, and how many tradies will contact me?
We email you your estimate and a link to your job. Up to 3 local tradies can take it and contact you to quote; only they get your name, phone and email, and you choose who to hire, if anyone. Read the full answer
Is it free to get quotes, and does the tradie's fee raise my price?
Yes, getting quotes is free and you don't have to hire anyone. Tradies pay us a capped fee to take your job, and we set it before they quote, so nothing is added to your quote. Read the full answer
Can I add photos to my job?
Yes. Add up to 10 photos in the chat after you give your contact details, or later from the job in Hire, and tradies see them before they take the job. Read the full answer
Do I have to hire one of the tradies?
No. Getting quotes is free, you're never obliged to hire anyone, and you pay only the tradie you choose to hire. Read the full answer
Does SureQuote check tradies' licences and insurance?
We collect each business's ABN, licence, insurance and warranty details and keep them as up to date as we can, so you can see them in one place on its profile. We don't guarantee them, so always check the licence yourself on the relevant licence register before you hire. Read the full answer
