Questions about this job

How much do cabinet and drawer repairs cost?

Labour starts from $99, including GST. Parts and materials are additional unless stated otherwise. Pricing can be affected by the number of doors and drawers, whether matching hinges or runners are available, how badly the panel is damaged around the fixings, and access and cabinet type. A starting price is not a fixed quote; the accepted quote sets the scope.

Can you fix a hinge that has pulled out of the door?

Often. The damaged hole may be repaired, or the hinge repositioned slightly so it fixes into solid material, depending on the panel's condition.

Can you fix a drawer that sticks or falls out?

Worn or broken drawer runners can be replaced where matching runners are available. Unusual or older hardware may need the part checked first.

Can you realign cupboard doors?

Yes. Hinges can be adjusted or replaced so the gaps between doors are even.

Can you repair water-damaged cabinets?

Water-damaged carcasses that need full replacement are outside this service, as are new kitchens, custom cabinetry, benchtop replacement and plumbing or electrical work under sinks.
