Kitchen Renovation Cost in Lahore 2026

Refresh, refit or full renovation

The kitchen renovation cost in Lahore depends first on the depth of work. A refresh replaces shutters, counters or hardware. A refit replaces cabinets on the same layout. A full renovation changes the layout and the services behind it.

The main cost drivers

Hidden items to plan for

• Old plumbing and drainage behind cabinets.
• Electrical load for new appliances.
• Ducting route for a chimney hood.
• Wall repairs after removing old units.
• Waterproofing under the sink area.

List these in the quotation even as provisional items.

Ways to get more for your budget

Keep the sink and hob where they are to avoid new runs. Spend on boxes and hardware first, then upgrade finishes. Choose one strong feature, such as a quartz counter or a tall pantry, instead of upgrading everything. Our modular kitchen price guide explains material choices.

Keep the layout or change it?

Keeping sinks, hobs and appliances where they are saves the most money and time, because plumbing, gas and electrical points stay in place.

Changing the layout makes sense when the current kitchen genuinely does not work, for example when there is no space for a fridge or the working triangle is broken. In that case, plan all services before anything is ordered.

Renovation sequence

1. Design and measurement
2. Strip out the old kitchen
3. Electrical, plumbing and gas changes
4. Wall and floor repairs or new tiles
5. Cabinet installation
6. Counter template, then counter fitting
7. Backsplash, appliances and final fix

How to compare quotes fairly

Two quotes for the same project can look very different. Before comparing totals, make sure both cover the same scope, materials and finishes.

• Ask for an itemised quote, not one lump sum.
• Check brands and grades of boards, hardware, tiles and fittings.
• Confirm what is excluded: civil work, electrical, AC, furniture, taxes.
• Ask how changes during the project are priced and approved.
• Check the payment schedule against delivery milestones.

A lower total that leaves out key items often ends up costing more.

Living without a kitchen

Plan a temporary kitchen during renovation: a microwave, kettle, small fridge and a table in another room. Use disposable plates for the noisiest weeks.

Ask your team for the dates when water and gas will be off so you can plan around them.

Next steps

If you are planning a kitchen renovation, start by writing down what you want to change, what must stay and the date you need the space ready. Take photos of the space as it is today and collect a few images of interiors you like.

Note what frustrates you in the current kitchen: storage, counter space, light or ventilation. These become the priorities for the new design.

When you are ready, see our kitchen renovation page or book a site visit or studio meeting. A designer can review your space, talk through options and prepare a written, itemised quote.
