The collection

Over 400 colours, from four suppliers

Everything here is stone we can actually get hold of. Narrow it down however you think about it — the material, the colour, or the brand — then tap any slab to see it properly.

How it works

Five steps, no showroom visit needed

You can do the first two from your sofa. We only come out once you're happy with the price.

1

Pick your stone

Browse the colours we hold. Every one is shown on a real kitchen so you can see how it actually reads in daylight.

2

Measure roughly

A tape measure and the back of an envelope is plenty. Lengths to the nearest centimetre are fine at this stage.

3

See your cutting plan

We lay your worktops onto the slab on screen — where the joins fall, where the sink goes, what's left over.

4

We template

Once your units are in, we laser-measure on site. The final price is confirmed from that template, not from a guess.

5

Fitted in a day

Typically about ten days after templating. One visit, dust sheets down, silicone finished, everything taken away.

The slab calculator

Plan your kitchen on the slab

This is the bit nobody else lets you see. Choose your stone, put in your measurements, and watch your worktops drop onto a real slab — joins, cutouts, offcuts and all.

Which stone do you like?

Every colour here is one we can get hold of. Quartz on our current price list is costed instantly on this page. Porcelain, natural stone and a few specials vary too much slab to slab, so we price those personally — usually within a couple of hours.

Got a kitchen plan?

If your kitchen designer or builder gave you a drawing, upload it. It'll sit beside the boxes below while you copy the sizes across, and it comes through to us with your enquiry so we can check your figures against it before we quote.

A photo of a printed plan is fine. JPG, PNG or PDF, up to 8 MB.

What would you like quoted?

What shape is your kitchen?

Pick the closest match. We'll letter your worktops A, B, C so you can tell us exactly where the sink and hob go.

Your worktop sides

Measure each side wall to wall, and we'll take the corners off for you. Standard base units give a worktop about 620 mm deep.

Island, peninsula or breakfast bar

Anything that isn't against a wall. Add as many as you need — these are cut as whole pieces, so no corners come off them.

Sink, hob and taps

Tell us which side each one sits on. They can share a side. The side with the sink is the one we keep in a single piece wherever we can.

Tap holes
One for a mixer, two if you're adding a boiling-water or filter tap.
1
Drainer grooves
Shallow channels cut beside the sink so water runs back in.
0

Upstands and splashbacks

Tick these against each side above. An upstand is a short lip of stone where the worktop meets the wall. A full-height splashback fills the whole gap up to your wall units, and runs taller behind the hob.

Window sills

Stone sills cut from the same slab, so they match the worktop.

One last thing

Match the veining across joins
Keeps the pattern running the same way on every piece. It looks better, but it uses more stone, because pieces can't be turned sideways to save space.

Here's how your kitchen cuts

This is a real nesting layout, worked out the way our fabricator would cut it — with a 3 mm saw allowance between pieces and the rough slab edges trimmed off. Final layout is confirmed at templating.

Where shall we send it?

We'll show your price on screen straight away and email you the full plan with your slab reference. No showroom visit, no salesperson calling round.

Our promise

If it isn't right, we come back and make it right.

Stone is unforgiving and you're spending real money on it. So we put the awkward things in writing rather than hoping you don't ask.

You approve the layout first

Nothing is cut until you've seen where the joins fall and said yes. Joins are the thing people regret, so we never decide them for you.

The price is fixed at template

Once we've laser-measured, the price is the price. No "we found another cutout" three days before fitting.

Your offcuts are yours

You paid for the whole slab. If there's a usable piece left we'll cut you a chopping board or a shelf from it, free, if you want one.

Ten-year material warranty

Manufacturer warranty on quartz, plus twelve months on our workmanship. Fixed by us, not argued about.

Straight answers

The things people actually ring up and ask

How much does a kitchen worktop actually cost?

Most kitchens we do land between £1,700 and £3,200 fitted, in quartz. A single galley run comes in at the bottom of that, an L-shape with an island at the top. The calculator above will give you a real range for your kitchen in about two minutes.

The reason nobody quotes a simple price per metre is that stone is sold by the slab. A 3.1 m run and a 3.3 m run can be hundreds of pounds apart, because one fits on a slab and the other doesn't.

Why does the size of my kitchen change the price so sharply?

Because you buy whole slabs, not square metres. A slab is roughly 3.2 m by 1.6 m. If your pieces fit on one, you pay for one. Go a few centimetres over and you're buying a second slab — even if you only need a small piece of it.

This is exactly why we show you the cutting plan. Sometimes moving a join by 40 mm saves you the best part of a thousand pounds, and you'd never know unless someone showed you.

Will there be a join in my worktop?

If any single run is longer than about 3.1 m, yes — that's the limit of the slab, not our workmanship. The calculator tells you where the joins fall, and you get to move them before we cut.

A well-made join in quartz is a dark line about the width of a hair. In heavily veined stone it's more visible, which is one reason we ask whether you want the veining matched.

What's the difference between quartz and granite for a kitchen?

Quartz is engineered — ground stone bound in resin. It's non-porous, so it never needs sealing, and the colour is consistent from slab to slab, which is why we can price it instantly. It doesn't like sustained heat, so use a trivet.

Granite and marble are quarried. Every slab is different, which is the appeal and also why we price them by hand. Granite handles heat better; marble is softer and will patinate — beautiful if you want that, frustrating if you don't.

How long does the whole thing take?

Templating happens once your base units are fitted and level — we can't measure off a drawing, because kitchens are never quite square. From template to fitting is usually about ten days. Fitting itself is a single visit, normally half a day.

Do I need my old worktops removed first?

Yes, before we template. We can take them away on the fitting day, but the old tops need to be off and the units level before we can measure. Tell us when you get in touch and we'll say honestly whether it's a job worth paying someone for.

Is the price on this page the price I'll pay?

It's a genuine range, worked out from the same numbers we use internally — your slab count, our fabrication cost and your distance from us. It isn't a teaser rate that doubles later.

It becomes a fixed price once we've templated, because that's the first point at which anyone actually knows the real measurements. If templating shows the job is smaller than you thought, the price comes down.

What happens to the stone left over?

You've paid for the whole slab, so anything usable is yours if you want it. Tell us before we cut and we'll turn a decent offcut into a chopping board, a shelf or a windowsill at no charge — it's much harder to do once the slab has been broken down.
