How Much Does a Kitchen Renovation Cost in Perth?
Like bathrooms, kitchen renovation cost in Perth spans a very wide range depending on scope. We're using the same three-tier approach here rather than a single average, since a cosmetic refresh and a full structural renovation aren't really the same job.
Typical price
$8,500–$80,000+ depending on scope
Cosmetic refresh
$8,500–$15,000
New benchtops, splashback, and cabinet fronts over the existing layout
Mid-range full renovation
$25,000–$45,000
New cabinetry and layout, same footprint
Premium / structural renovation
$45,000–$80,000+
Layout changes, high-end appliances and finishes
Cabinetry typically makes up 35-40% of total cost on its own - the single biggest line item in most kitchen renovations.

What affects the price
- Scope - a cosmetic refresh (new doors, benchtop) vs. a full strip-out and rebuild.
- Cabinetry quality and quantity, generally the largest single cost driver.
- Benchtop material, from laminate through to stone and engineered stone.
- Layout changes - moving plumbing or electrical for the sink, cooktop, or island adds significant cost.
- Appliance tier, from standard to premium built-in appliances.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there such a big range in kitchen renovation cost?
"Kitchen renovation" covers everything from swapping cabinet doors and a benchtop to a full strip-out with a new layout, new plumbing and electrical, and premium finishes - genuinely different scopes of work, which is why we present it as three tiers rather than one average.
What's the single biggest cost in a kitchen renovation?
Cabinetry - it typically accounts for 35-40% of total project cost, more than benchtops, appliances, or splashback combined.
Does moving the sink or cooktop add much to the cost?
Yes, often significantly - relocating plumbing or electrical points is one of the bigger cost jumps between a mid-range and premium renovation, even if the cabinetry itself is similar.
