Why two quotes differ

What actually moves the number.

Two companies pricing the same kitchen can land hundreds apart, and it is rarely the slab that explains it.

Templating and fitting

Someone measures the run, cuts the slab and fits it. On stone that's most of the gap between a supply price and a fitted one — and it's why a supply-only quote always looks cheaper than it is.

Cut-outs and joins

A sink, a hob, a drainer and every join are separate operations. Two of each is a different job from none, and an undermount sink is a different job again from a drop-in one.

Edges, thickness and upstands

A 20mm square edge and a 30mm mitred one are the same worktop and not the same price. Upstands and splashbacks add area that nobody counts when they first compare two quotes.

Questions about worktop prices.

How much do new kitchen worktops cost in the UK in 2026?

For a typical kitchen of 4–6m², laminate runs about £500–£1,200 supplied and fitted, granite about £1,100–£3,000, and quartz about £1,300–£3,600. The calculator on this page works it out from your own lengths rather than an average kitchen, which is usually the difference between a useful number and a misleading one.

How accurate is the photo measurement?

It's a starting point, not a survey. We use the standard sizes of things in the picture — a base unit is 600mm wide, a sink about 500mm — as a ruler, which is roughly as accurate as measuring by eye. Every number it produces is editable, and you should correct anything that looks wrong before relying on the total.

Is this a quote?

No. It's an estimate built from published 2026 UK price ranges, and we don't cut or fit stone ourselves. Real prices depend on the slab you choose, your postcode, how many joins the run needs and what the fitter finds on the day. When you want real numbers, the calculator can put your enquiry in front of worktop companies covering your area.

Why is there a range rather than one price?

Because two companies pricing the same worktop routinely land hundreds apart, and it's rarely the slab that explains it. Templating, the number of cut-outs, the edge profile and whether there's a mitred join move the total more than the material choice does. A single number would look precise and be wrong.

What's the difference between an upstand and a splashback?

An upstand is the short lip — usually 100mm — that runs along the back of the worktop where it meets the wall. A splashback is the full-height panel, normally only behind the hob. Both are cut from the same slab, so both add area, and both are easy to forget when you're comparing quotes.

Does the picture of my kitchen cost anything?

Measuring your photo and working out the estimate are free and don't need an account. Building the picture of your kitchen costs 2 credits, because it uses a paid image model. Credits start at £3 for 10.
