Kitchen Refacing Brisbane

Kitchen Refacing is an alternative to a complete rip-out and rebuilds kitchen renovation. Depending on the extent of refacing required and the layout of your existing kitchen, saving up to 50% may be possible compared to a complete kitchen renovation. Easy Living Kitchens are the experts in Brisbane for everything from designer kitchen makeovers to kitchen refacing and complete kitchen renovations.

Kitchen refacing can change the look and feel of your existing kitchen and add thousands of dollars to the value of your home when it comes time to sell. Many who choose kitchen refacing versus a complete kitchen renovation do so to sell or improve rental return on investment properties.

Kitchen Refacing is a type of kitchen makeover where only the external and visible doors, drawers and end panels are replaced to give your existing kitchen a new look and feel. It doesn’t include re-configuring the original layout or alterations to cabinetry (ie. replacing cabinets with drawers etc) It may include replacing kitchen benchtops and kitchen splashbacks where possible.

As long as your structural kitchen cabinetry is in good condition, and you are happy with the existing layout and configuration of your kitchen, kitchen refacing may be a viable option for you to consider. Kitchen refacing is most suitable when all you want to achieve is a new colour or surface style to what is already a practical, functional kitchen.

Suffice it to say, the kitchen is widely considered the most expensive room in your house, and an average complete kitchen renovation can easily cost upwards of $25,000, depending on size and specifications.

Kitchen refacing can, in some cases, provide savings of up to 50% but every kitchen is different. From our experience, most basic kitchen refacing jobs (NOT including benchtops or splashbacks) will require a STARTING BUDGET of $12,000 due to the large trade costs of dismantling and refitting visibly exposed end and side panels. Truth be told, the external panels and accompanying hardware are the most costly physical components of your kitchen cabinetry, followed closely by labour.

Suppose your kitchen is a basic design with easy accessibility to all panels requiring replacement. In that case, you will save more than a more complex designed kitchen with integrated towers or components which need to be dismantled entirely to access panels requiring replacement.

Sometimes, if you also want to replace benchtops and/or splashbacks, the practicality and viability of refacing your cabinetry may become minimal. (Replacing the benchtop and splashback requires a plumber and electrician, which adds to the total cost)
