Adelaide kitchen renovation costs: 2026 market guide

Know the market and you avoid both rip-offs and too-good-to-be-true quotes. This is an objective local reference.

Typical Adelaide bands (2026)

Cosmetic (new doors + benchtop): $15,000–$30,000. Mid (full cabinets + new stone + tile): $30,000–$55,000. High (solid-timber + stone + appliances): $55,000–$100,000+.

Five cost drivers

① Cabinet material (solid > 2-pac > moisture board); ② Benchtop (natural stone > engineered > laminate); ③ Moving plumbing/power; ④ Demolition; ⑤ Project size (partial vs full strip).

Holding the budget

① Keep existing plumbing points (one move ~$500–800); ② Engineered stone is ~half natural stone, similar durability; ③ Replace doors only, keep boxes; ④ Avoid structural changes.
