Our Process
At Smart Kitchen Facelifts, we improve the functionality and aesthetic of your existing kitchen without remodelling its foundations.
1
Smart Kitchen Consultation
We begin with your personalised kitchen design consultation to problem-solve your kitchen’s style and storage solutions, discussing potential benchtops, doors, splashbacks, lighting and appliances.
2
Smart Kitchen Planning
We develop tailored kitchen plans based on your established layout and quote for your chosen features and materials.
3
Smart Kitchen Facelift
We provide a full facelift team to get the job done quickly and professionally, including a plumber, electrician, tiler and project manager.
4
Smart Kitchen Delivery & Installation
You get your Smart Kitchen Facelift installation. Installation will generally take three days depending on materials chosen – a fraction of the four to six-week installation a new kitchen renovation takes!
Our Benefits
A new kitchen renovation can cost as much as $35,000, but a Smart Kitchen Facelift can begin from as low as $2,850 with an average cost of $12,500!
Packing value, simplicity, expert tradesmen and complete project management into our projects, we’re focused on causing minimal disruption to your home, schedule and wallet.

- Half the cost of a new kitchen
- Increased home value
- Improved kitchen functionality

- No strip-out costs
- No floor repair costs
- Higher rental returns

*Please note: Some materials used may cause extended installation times and are confirmed at the time of check measure.
When we’re done, your Smart Kitchen Facelift will look and function like a brand new kitchen.

FAQs
For further enquiries on benefits, quotes and estimates, please see our frequently asked questions.
-
How will Smart Kitchen Facelifts increase my property’s value?
Statistics show a kitchen renovation can return as much as 150% of investment costs when selling. A Smart Kitchen Facelift attracts higher rent returns, increases property value for home owners and boosts appeal for potential tenants and buyers.
A Smart Kitchen Facelift also solves primary storage and style problems in your old kitchen, by optimising existing cabinets. Your kitchen looks and feels like new – without the time and cost of a complete kitchen renovation.
-
How do I get a quote?
By filling out the contact form on our consultation page and telling us what you wish to achieve, we will then contact you to discuss your requirements and to book your personal kitchen design consultation.
-
How much is a Smart Kitchen Facelift compared to a new kitchen?
A smart Kitchen Facelift typically costs between $3,000 and $9,000. Compare that to a full kitchen renovation, which can cost anywhere from $35,000 to $55,000 – That’s a huge price difference!
-
How long does a Smart Kitchen Facelift take?
A Smart Kitchen Facelift generally takes three days to install. That’s super quick – especially compared to a full kitchen renovation of four to six weeks. Please note some stone benchtops have extended lead times and three days is the projected average timeline of our installations.
-
What do I have to do?
Not much! We manage the whole process, so you don’t have to. Simply choose the style, materials and colours that suit you, and we’ll do the rest.
You don’t even have to clear out your kitchen before installation takes place. We move what we need to during your Smart Kitchen Facelift.
