Transform your kitchen into a space you’ll love cooking, gathering and spending time in. MB Renovations specialises in kitchen renovation services in Geelong, bringing together smart layouts, beautiful cabinetry, modern benchtops and practical storage to create a kitchen that looks exceptional and works perfectly for your everyday life.
*Applies to waterproofing work completed as part of your renovation, not to the kitchen renovation as a whole.
A kitchen might look fine but still be difficult to use. Limited bench space, poor storage or an inconvenient layout can make everyday cooking harder than it needs to be. Some problems can be solved with simple upgrades, while others may call for a more complete renovation.
Whether you’re looking to update a few features or change the entire kitchen layout, there are different ways to approach your renovation. The right option depends on what you want to improve, what can stay and how much you plan to spend.
Keeping your existing kitchen layout can help reduce renovation costs and disruption. If you want to move the sink, cooktop or appliances, we’ll assess the plumbing, electrical and cabinetry changes required.
From benchtops and splashbacks to cabinetry finishes, the right materials depend on your kitchen’s design, everyday use and budget — including which benchtop materials are currently compliant under Victoria’s engineered-stone restrictions, which we’ll confirm at the material stage.
Every kitchen is different. An older home in Geelong West may need a smarter layout, while a newer home in Armstrong Creek might simply need better storage or updated finishes. The right renovation starts with understanding what works in your existing kitchen and what needs to change.
You don’t always need to replace everything to get a better kitchen. MB Renovations can help you assess your existing space, understand the available options and decide whether a targeted upgrade or a complete renovation makes more sense for your home and budget.
The cost of renovating your kitchen depends on its size, the materials you choose and the amount of work involved. Replacing cabinetry and benchtops within an existing layout is different from a renovation that involves moving plumbing, electrical services or walls.
The indicative costs below show the pricing for different stages of a kitchen renovation. Your final quote will depend on the work required for your home.
The initial site visit is free and gives you an honest scope and ballpark guidance. “Measure & inspect” in the table below is a separate, more detailed stage for kitchens going ahead to construction. Your written quote sets out exactly what applies and when.
| Measure & inspect (post-decision, detailed) | $500 |
| Design & layout | $400 |
| Materials & appliances | $10,000–$30,000+ |
| Demolition | $1,500–$3,500 |
| Rough-in plumbing, electrical & gas* | $700 |
| Cabinet installation | $5,000 |
| Benchtop installation | $5,000 |
| Plumbing & electrical fit-off | from $1,500 |
| Final finishing | $1,200 |
| Clean & handover | $500 |
*Indicative for a typical single-point service relocation (e.g. one tap or power point) — repositioning a sink or cooktop run involves more work and is scoped on site.

The final cost depends on your kitchen’s size, the cabinetry and materials selected, and whether changes to the layout, plumbing or electrical services are required. A smaller kitchen isn’t always cheaper, particularly when custom cabinetry or extensive alterations are involved.
Yes — the site visit and the written itemised quote that follows are both free, for every kitchen we quote.
That depends on the extent of the renovation. Replacing benchtops or cabinetry can involve less disruption than changing the entire layout. We’ll explain the expected work schedule and when your kitchen is likely to be unavailable before renovation begins.
No — we can supply and install your appliances as part of the renovation, or work with ones you’ve already chosen.
Work stops in that area until it’s properly assessed. Suspected asbestos is managed in line with WorkSafe Victoria requirements, with licensed removal where required, before affected demolition continues — it’s a safety step, not a standard cost variation.
Unlike asbestos, this is scoped as a standard variation and agreed with you before further work proceeds — never charged without your sign-off.
It depends on your budget, the work involved and how much disruption you can manage. Renovating in stages can spread out spending, but may involve additional scheduling and repeated periods without full use of the kitchen. We’ll help you compare the options before deciding.
As early as possible — these typically have the longest lead times in the project, and your renovation is scheduled around their delivery.
Yes, though moving the sink, cooktop or appliances usually means relocating services — scoped at the site visit.
