Common Worktop Materials & Average Costs
Laminate – one of the cheaper options at £20 – £50 a square metre. Laminate is made from layers glued together, and as such, while they can last, they need high maintenance as they are not heat resistant and can start to peel. Potentially, due to their composition, they can be water-damaged.
Granite – is a popular choice for worktops, adding a unique and quality feel to any kitchen. Granite is available is a wide range of colours and patterns. Costs range between £250 – £400 per square metre. Not a cheap option, but granite worktops are tough yet elegant, ideal for a busy kitchen.
Quartz – If you are looking for a stylish, durable worktop that is non-porous, heat-resistant and sustainable, then one of our ranges of quartz worktops are what you need. A quartz worktop can be from around £250 – £500 per square metre.
Marble – Choosing marble adds that extra touch of luxury with many options in terms of colour and patterns. Costs range from £300 – £400 per square metre, but the price depends on the rock type in the structure – the more expensive, the more durable.
