What does benchtop installation cost in Melbourne?

There is no useful single “per metre” installation rate. Benchtop labour is driven by sections, joins, cut-outs, fabrication, removal and site conditions. Here is how we price it.

These are current indicative website calculator inputs, inclusive of GST unless otherwise stated. *The $475 minimum job charge still applies. They are not a fixed quote.

Why we do not just charge by the metre.

A 3.6m straight benchtop with no cut-outs can be easier than a 2.0m L-shaped top with a join, sink, cooktop and walls requiring scribing. Metres describe material quantity; they do not accurately describe installation labour or risk.

Example replacement

Two site-cut sections totalling about 3.6 metres, one join, one standard sink cut-out, minor scribing, removal and disposal of a standard existing top generally lands around $1,100–$1,200 under the current calculator, before any unusual site conditions.

Use the calculator for budgeting, not contracting. The final price is confirmed only after we review photos, dimensions, material, sink/cooktop details, access and the condition of the existing cabinets.

Common questions

Pricing, answered.

Why isn't there a flat per-metre price?

Because metres describe material quantity, not installation labour. A long straight run with no cut-outs can be quicker than a short run with a join, sink, cooktop and scribing — see "Why we do not just charge by the metre" above.

What's the minimum job cost?

$475 incl. GST is the minimum charge that applies to any benchtop job we book, regardless of how small the scope is.

Does the price include GST?

Yes, all figures on this page and in the calculator are inclusive of GST.

What can push the price above the calculator estimate?

Out-of-level cabinets, walls out of square, difficult access, unusual joins, hidden damage found once the old top is removed, and the exact benchtop material can all change the final reviewed price.
