Kitchen Redesign Cost in Ireland
What every part of a redesign costs, what each price covers, and the questions to ask before you compare.
Free, no obligation. One local fitter prices it, not five.
Short answerFrom €700 to €1,000 to respray a small kitchen to €9,000 to €20,000 for a new mid-range one. Plumbing, electrics, an island or a steel beam each add to that.
Every price, by how much changes
| Job | Typical price | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Respray, small kitchen (up to 10 doors) | €700 to €1,000 | About a day on site. Solid wood, painted wood and most MDF doors take it well. |
| Respray, 10 to 20 doors | €1,250 to €2,000 | One to two days. The number of doors and drawer fronts decides it. |
| Respray, large kitchen with an island | €2,000 to €4,500 | Two to three days. The island's end panels and a tall larder wall add to it. |
| New doors and drawer fronts, supplied | From €48 a door | €48 plain, €55 shaker or handleless. Handles and fitting on top. |
| New doors, drawer fronts and worktop on your units | €1,350 to €5,000 | How many doors, and laminate against stone for the worktop. |
| Laminate worktop, fitted | €800 to €2,000 | €50 to €100 a metre. Fitted in a day. |
| Quartz or granite worktop, fitted | From €2,200 | Quartz €300 to €750 a metre fitted, granite €350 to €600. Templated, then fitted 5 to 10 working days later. |
| Add an island | €2,000 to €5,000 | On top of the kitchen. A sink or hob on it adds plumbing or a new circuit. |
| New kitchen, same layout, budget or flat-pack | €4,500 to €10,000 | Fitted, nothing moved. Doors and worktop make most of the difference. |
| New mid-range kitchen | €9,000 to €20,000 | Most people spend €10,000 to €15,000. Moving the sink or cooker is extra. |
| High spec or bespoke kitchen | €13,500 to €35,000 | Hand-made or painted doors, stone throughout, premium appliances. |
| Moving the sink or dishwasher | €500 to €1,500 | New water and waste runs, and making good the floor. |
| Electrical changes | €500 to €2,000 | New circuits and sockets, by a registered electrician with a certificate. |
| Steel beam to open a wall | €2,000 to €4,000 | After a structural engineer checks the wall. The engineer's design is extra. |
| Fitting only, you supply the kitchen | €2,000 to €6,000 | The size, and whether tiling, plumbing and electrics are in it. |
Why the range is so wide
A redesign can mean a new colour or a new room. Four things move the price most:
- Whether the units stay. Cabinets are the biggest single cost: €5,000 to €10,000 in a mid-range kitchen.
- Whether the sink, cooker or walls move. Plumbing, electrics and steel go on top.
- The doors. On one small kitchen, laminate instead of sprayed lacquer doors took over €2,500 off the price.
- The worktop. Laminate is €50 to €100 a metre, quartz €300 to €750 fitted.
Two real quotes, and what they left out
A new kitchen in a Dublin semi came to about €12,100 with VAT, including taking out the old kitchen and making good. A 7.3 metre run with full-height units, lacquered doors and a quartz worktop came to about €15,900 with VAT, and that one left out the removal, the skip, electrics, plumbing, tiling and painting. Compare what's in a quote, not just the total.
What to ask before you compare prices
- Is VAT included?
- Is taking out the old kitchen and the skip included?
- Are the plumbing and electrics included, and who does them?
- Are the worktop, appliances, tiling and flooring in the price?
- Who measures, and when is the price fixed?
