About Cabimate
Cabimate offers custom wardrobes and walk-in wardrobes, custom cabinet design and build (kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, laundries, bathrooms, vanities and more), cabinet repairs and modifications, and cabinet facelifts using custom-made doors, panels and components.
Both. Cabimate takes on projects of any size, from a single sticking drawer or broken hinge to a complete custom cabinetry installation.
Yes. Cabimate works from architect, interior designer or cabinetry designer plans, and can also help develop a practical cabinetry solution from scratch if no design exists yet.
A cabinet facelift replaces worn or dated cabinet doors, drawer fronts, end panels, kickers, benchtops and hardware while keeping the existing cabinet carcass, giving kitchens and laundries a refreshed look without a full renovation.
Cabimate provides an initial estimated quotation based on photos, drawings or measurements, followed by an on-site consultation if needed, then a final detailed quotation once measurements and finishes are confirmed.
Quotes & pricing
It depends entirely on scope. A hinge repair might be a small fixed fee, while a full custom kitchen is a larger, itemised project. We provide a clear quote before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
Yes. Send photos, measurements and a description of the job through our quote form, or call 0424 341 774, and we'll provide an obligation-free estimate. A site visit may be arranged for larger or more complex projects.
Small jobs are priced fairly for their size. We don't apply inflated minimums designed to discourage small work. That's part of why Cabimate exists: no job is too big or too small.
Process & timelines
Repairs and small facelifts are often completed within a day or two. Custom cabinetry and larger projects typically take one to three weeks depending on materials and complexity. We'll confirm a realistic timeframe in your quote.
Photos, rough measurements, and a short description of what you're after are the fastest way to get an accurate quote. A quick video walkthrough helps for larger or more complex jobs.
We aim to respond to all quote requests within 1–2 business days. For urgent jobs, calling 0424 341 774 directly is usually the fastest option.
