Complete kitchen renovation project in Geelong with custom cabinetry and stone benchtops

A complete kitchen renovation in Geelong transforms your entire kitchen from floor to ceiling. Whether your kitchen is an outdated 1980s relic or simply no longer fits your lifestyle, a full renovation gives you the opportunity to redesign the layout, upgrade every surface, and install modern appliances that make cooking a pleasure.

Geelong homeowners consistently rank the kitchen as the most important room in the house — and for good reason. It’s where families gather, meals are prepared, and memories are made. A well-planned renovation not only improves your daily living but adds significant value to your property.

What’s Included in a Complete Kitchen Renovation?

A full kitchen renovation in Greater Geelong typically covers:

  • Demolition and removal of existing kitchen including cabinets, benchtops, splashbacks, and flooring
  • Layout redesign to optimise workflow, storage, and natural light
  • Custom cabinetry built by local Geelong cabinet makers like Breakwater Kitchens or Cambridge Cabinets
  • Premium benchtops in Caesarstone, Smartstone, Silestone, or natural stone from suppliers like Sandman Stone in North Geelong
  • Plumbing and electrical work to relocate sinks, dishwashers, and power points
  • Splashback installation in glass, tile, or stone
  • New flooring integrated with the rest of your home
  • Appliance supply and installation including ovens, cooktops, rangehoods, and dishwashers

Kitchen Renovation Cost in Geelong

According to the HIA Kitchens and Bathrooms Report, the Victorian average kitchen renovation costs $42,630. Here’s what Geelong homeowners typically invest:

  • Budget renovation: $8,000–$12,000 (cosmetic updates, new doors, and benchtops)
  • Mid-range renovation: $20,000–$40,000 (new cabinetry, stone benchtops, quality appliances)
  • Premium renovation: $45,000+ (custom joinery, premium stone, high-end appliances, butler’s pantry)

The Renovation Process

1. Design Consultation

Your renovation begins with a free in-home consultation. A qualified kitchen designer measures your space, discusses your needs, and presents concept drawings. Many Geelong renovators use 3D design software so you can visualise your new kitchen before committing.

2. Material Selection

Visit local showrooms to choose your cabinetry finish, benchtop material, splashback, handles, and appliances. Sandman Stone at 7 Hepner Place, North Geelong has an extensive range of engineered and natural stone samples.

3. Construction

Most complete kitchen renovations in Geelong take 3–6 weeks from demolition to handover. Your renovator coordinates all trades — cabinet makers, plumbers, electricians, tilers, and painters — so you have a single point of contact throughout.

4. Quality Assurance

A final walkthrough ensures every detail meets your expectations. Reputable Geelong renovators offer warranties ranging from 5 to 10 years on workmanship and materials.
