How Much Does Kitchen Benchtop Resurfacing Cost?
Upgrading your kitchen doesn’t always require a full renovation. Kitchen benchtop resurfacing is a fast, convenient, and stylish way to refresh your space without the hassle of a full benchtop replacement. But how does resurfacing compare to replacing your benchtops entirely?
Kitchen Benchtop Resurfacing vs. Full Benchtop Replacement
Benchtop resurfacing involves applying a 7mm engineered stone overlay directly over your existing benchtops. This means no demolition, minimal mess, and a quick turnaround, keeping your kitchen functional throughout the process.
Full benchtop replacement, on the other hand, requires removing your existing benchtops, which can result in unexpected complications like damage to splashback tiles or cabinetry.
Replacing a benchtop also takes more time, requiring removal, disposal, and installation of a thicker engineered stone or a natural stone like granite or marble, which may need sealing and ongoing maintenance.
Benchtop Resurfacing Costs Depends On Several Factors
The cost of resurfacing kitchen benchtops depends on several factors, including material choice, benchtop size, and the complexity of the layout.
- Here’s a general price guide:
Benchtop Resurfacing (7mm Engineered Stone). Starting at $700 – $1,200 per square metre. - Full Benchtop Replacement – Costs can vary widely, depending on the material chosen.
More budget-friendly options like laminate or wood are available, while cheaper engineered stone sits in the mid-range, and premium materials like natural marble can push costs significantly higher, upwards of $5,000 per slab.
