How much does a fitted kitchen cost in Ireland?

As an indicative 2026 range, supply-only kitchen units cost about €4,000–€15,000, while a fully fitted kitchen including worktops and appliances typically runs €10,000–€30,000. The spread comes down to the number of units, the carcass and door quality, the worktop material and the appliance package. Get at least three written quotes.

What's the difference between supply-only and supply-and-fit?

Supply-only means you buy the units (often flat-pack or rigid carcass) and arrange your own fitter. Supply-and-fit means the company designs, supplies and installs the kitchen as one package. Supply-only can be cheaper but needs a reliable fitter and good coordination; supply-and-fit is simpler with one point of responsibility.

Is it cheaper to buy flat-pack or rigid kitchen units?

Flat-pack units are cheaper to buy and you assemble them yourself or pay a fitter to. Rigid (pre-assembled) carcasses cost more but are sturdier, faster to install and often better finished. For a long-term kitchen, many people find rigid units worth the extra.

How much does it cost to fit a kitchen in Ireland?

Fitting labour alone, separate from the units, typically runs from around €1,500 for a small straightforward kitchen up to €4,000+ for a large kitchen with an island, tiling and appliance installation. Worktop templating and fitting for stone or quartz is usually charged separately.

Fitted Kitchen Cost Ireland 2026 (Units & Fitting Prices)

A fitted kitchen in Ireland costs roughly €4,000–€15,000 supply-only for the units, or €10,000–€30,000 fully fitted including worktops and appliances (indicative 2026 ranges). The key choice is whether you buy supply-only and hire a fitter, or take a supply-and-fit package.

Supply-only vs supply-and-fit

Option	What you get	Indicative 2026 cost
Supply-only (flat-pack)	Cabinets in boxes, you assemble or pay a fitter	€4,000–€9,000
Supply-only (rigid carcass)	Pre-assembled cabinets, you arrange fitting	€6,000–€15,000
Supply-and-fit	Design, units, fitting and often worktops as one package	€10,000–€30,000

Supply-only gives you control over each line item and can be cheaper, but you carry the coordination risk — making sure the fitter, worktop supplier and plumber all line up. Supply-and-fit costs more but puts responsibility for the finished result in one place.

What’s in a fitted kitchen price

A fitted kitchen quote should itemise:

Carcasses (the boxes) — usually melamine-faced board.
Doors and drawer fronts — the main driver of how the kitchen looks and what it costs.
Worktops — laminate, quartz, granite or solid timber.
Handles, hinges and soft-close mechanisms.
End panels, cornices, pelmets and plinths.
Fitting labour and, often, worktop templating and installation.

Brand and material tiers

Budget — flat-pack ranges from large retailers, melamine doors, laminate worktops. Best for rental properties or quick refreshes.
Mid-range — rigid carcasses, painted MDF or vinyl-wrapped doors, quartz or upgraded laminate worktops. The sweet spot for most homes.
High-end — bespoke or in-frame joinery, solid-timber or hand-painted doors, stone worktops, premium hinges and storage solutions.

Door material is where money shows: a vinyl-wrapped door is far cheaper than a hand-painted, solid-timber in-frame door, even on the same carcass.

What affects the price

Number of units. More cabinets, taller units and islands all add cost.
Worktop choice. Quartz and granite cost several times more than laminate, plus templating and fitting.
Door finish. Wrapped vs painted vs solid timber is a major swing.
Soft-close and internal fittings. Pull-outs, corner carousels and integrated bins add up.
Fitting complexity. Islands, tall units and tiling increase labour.

Ways to save

Choose supply-only and hire your own trusted fitter if the package price looks high.
Keep carcasses standard and spend the budget on doors and worktop, which is what you see and touch.
Use laminate worktops that mimic stone for a fraction of the cost.
Reuse good appliances rather than buying a full new suite.
Get at least three written quotes, each itemising units, worktops and fitting separately so you can compare properly.

Final tips

Confirm whether the quote includes worktop fitting, appliance installation, tiling and waste disposal — these are common exclusions. Measure twice, order early (lead times on units can be weeks), and build in a small contingency for the inevitable extra trim or filler panel.
