Frequently Asked Questions

How much do quartz worktops cost in the UK in 2026?

Quartz worktops cost ยฃ400โ€“ยฃ900 per linear metre supplied and fitted in the UK in 2026. A typical 4m kitchen run costs ยฃ1,800โ€“ยฃ3,600 depending on quartz brand, thickness and region. Entry-level quartz (Silestone, Compac) starts lower; premium brands (Caesarstone, Corian Quartz) sit at the higher end.

What is the cheapest kitchen worktop option?

Laminate is the cheapest worktop at ยฃ80โ€“ยฃ200 per linear metre fitted. Modern laminate (Egger, Wilsonart, Formica) comes in stone-effect finishes that convincingly mimic granite and concrete. Solid wood is the next cheapest at ยฃ250โ€“ยฃ500/m.

How long do quartz worktops last?

Quartz worktops typically last 20โ€“30 years with normal household use. They're non-porous (unlike granite and marble), so they don't need sealing and are highly stain resistant. They can chip if a heavy object strikes a corner edge.

Can I fit worktops myself?

Laminate worktops can be DIY-fitted with a jigsaw and joining bolts. Stone worktops (quartz, granite, dekton, marble) require professional templating with laser measurement and specialist cutting equipment. Attempting to fit stone worktops yourself risks cracking and voids supplier warranties.

What is the difference between quartz and granite?

Granite is a natural stone quarried in slabs โ€” each piece is unique. Quartz is an engineered stone (typically 93% crushed quartz + 7% resin binder) manufactured in consistent colour batches. Quartz is non-porous and doesn't need sealing. Granite is porous and needs annual sealing. Both are similarly priced; quartz is more consistent, granite is unique.
