MR SHELF KITCHEN WARRANTY

Quality you can feel, backed by a warranty you can trust.

A MR SHELF kitchen is designed to be lived in, loved, and enjoyed for years to come. Every kitchen is proudly crafted in our Tauranga facility with care, precision, and attention to detail.

That’s why we proudly offer a:

10 Year Workmanship & Installation Warranty

This warranty applies to the original purchaser of the kitchen only.

What’s Covered

MR SHELF warrants that the workmanship and installation of your kitchen will be free from defects for a period of 10 years from the date of installation.

If a fault arises due to the way your kitchen was manufactured or installed by MR SHELF, we will repair or rectify the issue at no cost to you.

This warranty is provided in addition to your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and does not limit those rights.

What’s not Covered

This warranty does not cover damage, defects, or issues arising from circumstances including, but not limited to:

  • Normal wear and tear.

  • Accidental damage, misuse, neglect, or improper care.

  • Cracks, chips, scratches, or impact damage to benchtops or surfaces.

  • Water damage, excessive moisture, condensation, or water scale.

  • Steam damage, including damage caused by opening dishwashers during or immediately after cycles.

  • Damage caused by sinks not being correctly earthed, as required by the sink manufacturer.

  • Alterations, modifications, or repairs carried out by anyone other than MR SHELF or its authorised contractors.

  • Use of harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents.

  • Damage caused by fire, flooding, earthquakes, natural disasters, or events beyond MR SHELF’s reasonable control.

  • Consequential, indirect, or incidental loss or damage.

Product & Manufacturer Warranties

Third-party manufacturers supply many of the products and components installed in your kitchen and carry their own warranties. These warranties are separate from the MR SHELF workmanship and installation warranty.

Examples include:

  • Benchtops – Manufacturer warranties typically range from 5–10 years, depending on the material used (e.g. engineered stone, laminate, porcelain, stainless steel, timber).

  • Cabinetry hinges and drawer runners – Generally covered by a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.

  • Accessories – Including handles, bins, lighting, storage organisers, and speciality fittings are covered by their respective manufacturers' warranties.

  • Sinks and tapware – Covered by the relevant manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand and product.

Please note:

  • Some sink manufacturers require sinks to be electrically earthed. This remains the homeowner’s responsibility and should be confirmed with a registered electrician.

  • Damage caused by scratching, water scale, staining, impact, or misuse is not covered under the MR SHELF warranty.

Tenanted or Rental Properties

Where an MR SHELF kitchen is installed in a rental or tenanted property, the warranty remains with the property owner.

Damage caused by tenants, occupants, contractors, cleaners, or third parties — including misuse or failure to follow care instructions — is not covered.

It is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure all occupants understand and follow the recommended care and maintenance guidelines.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will help ensure your kitchen continues to perform and look its best for years to come.

For Care & Maintenance of your new kitchen, please refer to the individual manufacturers & suppliers' warranties that pertain to your new kitchen's appliances, panels, accessories, and benchtops.

Ownership & Transferability

This warranty applies only to the original purchaser of the kitchen and is not transferable if the property is sold or ownership changes.

Manufacturer warranties may have separate terms regarding transferability.

Making a Warranty Claim

To make a warranty claim or request support, please contact MR SHELF with:

  • Your name and contact details
