If the layout works and the cabinets are sound, you may not need a full renovation. We replace the surfaces you see and touch — doors, drawer fronts, panels, hardware, benchtops and selected finishing details.
It makes the most sense when the existing footprint is practical but the visible finish has aged. We assess the carcasses first, then build the scope around the parts that will make the biggest visual and functional difference.
Change the colour, profile and finish while retaining suitable cabinet boxes.
Update the work surface around the existing footprint, appliances and cut-outs.
Handles, hinges, kickboards, end panels, fillers and selected splashback upgrades.
Apartments, terraces and inner-city homes where access, lift bookings, parking and compact footprints make accurate planning especially important.
Core areaEstablished family homes and townhouses where the cabinet layout often still works but finishes, profiles and benchtops have dated.
Core areaApartments, renovated period homes and 1990s–2000s kitchens where a targeted update can avoid unnecessary demolition.
Core areaFamily homes, investment properties and larger kitchens where door/panel replacement can deliver a large visual change without rebuilding every box.
Core areaCoastal homes, investment properties and family kitchens from Mornington through to Sorrento where a refresh can modernise the room without a full rebuild.
Core areaWe also quote selected jobs outside the core areas based on scope, access and installation logistics.
Check service areasWe would rather recommend a full renovation than put new doors over damaged carcasses or preserve a layout that frustrates you every day.
A small facelift might be doors, panels and handles. A deeper refresh can add benchtops, new hinges/drawers, splashback work and small cabinet modifications.
Send us wide photos, close-ups of damaged areas and a note on what you want to keep. We can usually tell quickly whether a facelift is worth exploring.
When the cabinet carcasses are already doing their job, replacing them can consume budget without adding much to the finished look. A facelift redirects more of the spend toward the surfaces, hardware and details that define the room.
We want the job defined before removal starts. That means identifying what stays, checking condition, measuring accurately and confirming finishes before new components are ordered.
Suburb, wide shots, close-ups and the changes you are considering.
We inspect cabinet condition, geometry, hardware and access.
Door profile, colour, panels, hardware and surfaces are confirmed.
Old visible components are removed and the new finish is fitted and aligned.
Door quantity, panel complexity, hardware, benchtop material, appliance cut-outs, site access and the condition of the existing cabinetry all affect price. Use the planning calculator before requesting a measure.
Send photos and your Melbourne suburb. We will tell you whether a facelift is worth pricing.
