What does complete kitchen renovation cost in 2026?

A complete kitchen renovation costs on average € 8,000 to € 25,000. Having a purchased kitchen fitted costs € 1,500 to € 4,000, replacing fronts and worktop € 1,500 to € 6,000, replacing built-in appliances € 200 to € 800 per appliance and kitchen lighting or a small electrical adjustment € 300 to € 900. Size, finish level and whether connections are moved decide where you land in the band.

Yes, that is exactly our core: many affiliated professionals fit kitchens you bought yourself, whether a flat-pack from a DIY store or a showroom kitchen delivered pre-built. Expect € 1,500 to € 4,000 per kitchen, including connecting the sink, tap and appliances to the existing connection points.

Fitting a purchased kitchen is usually done in one to a few days, depending on size and whether it is a flat-pack. A complete renovation — old kitchen out, connections adjusted, new kitchen in — typically takes one to two weeks. Bear in mind the kitchen is out of use during that period, and a custom worktop is often measured only after the cabinets are placed.

It can be. State in your request whether the old kitchen still needs to come out and whether you want the professional to handle disposal too — then it is in the quote and there are no surprises. Stripping it out yourself saves money, but costs a day's work and muscle.

Yes. If the sink or hob moves to another wall, the connections move with it — which is also the biggest price driver of a renovation. Small connections and adjustments within the kitchen belong to the job; if the fuse box needs extending, that is work for a certified electrician via our sister site Elektriciens Direct (elektriciens-direct.nl).

Yes. Submitting a request costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Up to 3 professionals respond and you decide who to talk to — or no one, which is fine too. Prices and payment are arranged directly with the company.

Professionals in your region respond as soon as possible with a price indication or a proposal for a home survey. For fitting an already purchased kitchen, the quote can often be made directly from the drawing and packing list; for a renovation the final quote usually follows the survey.

Yes. We verify Chamber of Commerce registration when a company joins and ask companies for proof of business liability insurance. Companies with recurring complaints are removed from the platform.

Your details are shared only with the (up to 3) professionals matched to your request. We never resell your data and automatically delete requests after the legal retention period. See our privacy policy.

Often yes. If the cabinets and drawers are still good, € 1,500 to € 6,000 of new fronts, handles and a worktop gives the kitchen a second life without demolition — and it remains largely usable during the job. If the carcasses are worn out, a good professional says so honestly and a complete renovation is the better route.

Tiling — a tiled splashback or kitchen floor — is the trade of our sister site Tegelzetter Direct (tegelzetter-direct.nl); there you find vetted tilers from your region. And for standalone plumbing work outside a kitchen job, such as a leaking pipe or blocked drain, Loodgieter Hulp (loodgieter-hulp.nl) helps you directly.

Guarantee arrangements are made directly with the professional. Ask for a guarantee on the fitting work and the connections, and have the terms recorded in the quote in writing; built-in appliances additionally carry the supplier's factory warranty. Keep the invoice — it is your proof of professional workmanship.
