Real UK price ranges for quartz, granite, marble and more — what you can expect to pay per square metre supplied and fitted, what moves the figure, and how to get an accurate quote first time.
The short answer: most fitted stone worktops in the UK cost around £250–£600 per square metre supplied and fitted. For a typical 5–6 m² kitchen that’s roughly £1,400–£2,800 all in; a larger kitchen with an island can run £3,000–£5,000+. The material you choose and the layout of your kitchen are what move the number.
These are indicative UK ranges for stone worktops supplied and fitted — including templating, fabrication, standard cut-outs, a polished edge and installation. Because we cut in our own Sheffield workshop and fit with our own team, there’s no third-party mark-up between the slab and your kitchen, which keeps us at the sensible end of these ranges.
| Material | Per m² (supplied & fitted) | Typical 5–6 m² kitchen |
|---|---|---|
| Quartz (engineered) | £250–£600 | £1,400–£3,000 |
| Granite (natural) | £200–£550 | £1,200–£2,800 |
| Marble (natural) | £350–£700+ | £1,800–£3,800 |
| Quartzite (natural) | £350–£700 | £1,800–£3,800 |
| Dekton / porcelain | £350–£700 | £1,900–£3,800 |
Ranges are a guide for budgeting, not a quote. Plain colours sit at the lower end; premium veined and exotic slabs at the top. Prices rose modestly (around 6–12%) across 2024–2026 but have largely stabilised.
You’ll see “from £X per metre” everywhere online, and it’s rarely what you’ll pay. A worktop price depends on the material and specific design you choose, the total area, how many separate pieces and joins are involved, the number of cut-outs for sinks and hobs, the edge profile, and any upstands or splashbacks. Two kitchens the same size can price very differently — which is why the ranges above are a starting point, not a final figure.
Premium and exotic materials cost more than standard ranges. Islands and peninsulas add area. Lots of corners mean more joins and more labour. Cut-outs for undermounted sinks, drainer grooves and hob cut-outs all add fabrication time. Detailed edge profiles — bullnose, ogee, a mitred “waterfall” edge — cost more than a standard polished edge. None of this is hidden; it’s just why a flat per-metre figure can’t be accurate.
Our quotes are supply-and-fit as one price — templating, CNC fabrication, sink and hob cut-outs, standard polished edges, delivery and installation, all in, with no surprises on the day. Watch out when comparing supply-only quotes: a “£1,200 supply-only” figure can become £2,000 or more once separate templating (around £150–£300) and fitting (around £400–£800) are added on top.
If your units are sound and level, you don’t need a whole new kitchen — the surface, sink and taps can be swapped without touching the cabinets. On an average 5–6 metre kitchen, replacing the worktop with quartz or granite typically runs £1,400–£3,000, plus a small charge to disconnect and refit the sink and taps. Because the base units stay put, a straight swap is far cheaper than a full kitchen and, for templated stone, is usually finished within a couple of weeks of templating. See our full guide to replacing kitchen worktops.
For the same material, 20mm is usually about 10–20% cheaper than 30mm. It’s mostly a question of look and feel rather than strength once the stone is properly supported. Our 20mm vs 30mm guide walks through how to choose.
Choosing a standard-range colour over an exotic one, keeping the layout simple, and opting for a standard edge profile all bring the price down without compromising durability. Worktop offcuts can also work beautifully for smaller jobs like a utility room or vanity top — ask us what we have available.
The quickest route is a photo and rough measurements — send those on WhatsApp and we can give you a ballpark, then a fixed quote once we’ve templated. Measuring yourself is fine for a rough idea; we always template precisely before cutting so the fit is exact.
Entry-level granite is often slightly cheaper than entry-level quartz — from around £200/m² supplied and fitted — while at the premium end the two roughly match. Granite is porous and needs occasional sealing; quartz never does, which can matter for long-term value.
Entry-level granite in a standard dark colour is usually the most affordable natural stone, with plain quartz colours close behind. Offcuts are the cheapest way into real stone for a small area.
We include fitting in a single supply-and-fit price. As a standalone, professional templating and fitting typically adds around £550–£1,100 to a supply-only slab, depending on kitchen size and complexity.
From templating to fitting is usually one to two weeks, and the install itself is generally a day for a standard kitchen.
