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.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
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.
How many quotes will I get?
We'll match you with up to 3 cabinet makers initially. If you'd like more options, you can request additional matches.
Do I pay anything to get quotes?
No — the service is 100% free for homeowners.
Why do you need photos?
Clear photos cut surprises and price blowouts, saving you money.
