Average Installation cost in Derby
These figures are estimated ranges based on current UK trade pricing and published cost guides from Checkatrade and MyBuilder (July 2026). Your actual quote will depend on kitchen size, material choice, and any extras such as cut-outs or upstands. Full worktop installation (supply and fit): Laminate runs from £580 to £1,150 for a typical kitchen. Quartz or granite comes in at £1,400 to £3,600 for a standard kitchen run. Derby sits in the East Midlands market at the competitive end of the national pricing range.

Stone replacement on existing carcasses, fully fitted, starts around £750 to £1,400. Worktop repair (chip, crack or scratch resurfacing): Minor laminate repair runs £75 to £140. Stone chip or crack repair is £140 to £310, depending on the damage and access. Templating or measuring visit (if charged separately): Typically £110 to £230 in the DE postcode area. Both Allenton businesses are on the south side of Derby with good access via the A514. Confirm whether templating is included when you first enquire. Removal and disposal of old worktop: Around £75 to £175 added to the fitting job. Stone worktops cost more to remove due to weight.
Types of Materials found in Derby
Quartz is the most popular stone worktop choice across the DE postcodes. The owner-occupier market in Derby's Victorian inner suburbs and the newer development areas drives consistent demand for quartz upgrades. Tile Giant at Osmaston Park Road DE24 covers quartz and stone surfaces from their Allenton showroom with 57 reviews at 4.8 stars. Marble and Granite Cutting Services at Wexford Court DE24 is a more specialist stone fabrication business at the same Allenton industrial area, with 10 reviews at 4.7 stars for quartz and granite work. Installed prices run from around £320 to £490 per square metre. Granite is chosen in the larger properties around Derby's outer suburbs and in the Peak District fringe villages to the north, where homeowners want the natural variation and heat resistance of real stone. Marble and Granite Cutting Services at Wexford Court in Allenton DE24 covers granite fabrication and installation for the Derby area. Granite Transformations at Darley Abbey DE21 offers granite overlay installation as well as new granite worktops, which suits homeowners who want to upgrade existing surfaces without a full kitchen refit. Installed granite costs between £280 and £540 per square metre. For the large volume of post-war and rental housing across the DE postcodes, laminate remains the practical standard for landlord properties and budget kitchen refreshes. Tile Giant at Osmaston Park Road carries laminate worktops as part of their wider surface range. A 3 metre board supply-only costs around £100 to £200, with the full fitted job usually coming in at £580 to £1,150.

Frequently asked questions FAQ
What is Granite Transformations and how does it differ from a standard stone fabricator?
Granite Transformations at Darley Abbey DE21 operates as part of a national franchise that specialises in stone surface overlays, fitting new stone surfaces directly over existing worktops without the need for full removal. This suits homeowners who want to upgrade to granite or quartz without a full kitchen refit. The overlay approach means less disruption and lower cost in some cases, but the surface sits slightly higher than a standard replacement. Standard fabricators like Marble and Granite Cutting Services cut a new slab to the template and replace the existing surface entirely.
Is Tile Giant a good option for a Derby worktop?
Tile Giant at Exchange Point DE24 is a national retailer with a showroom format covering tiles, stone slabs, and worktop surfaces. Their 57 reviews at 4.8 stars make them the most-reviewed business in the Derby listing. They suit homeowners who want to see materials in person alongside floor and wall tiles before committing. For installation, they work with local installers. For a purely installation-focused quote, Marble and Granite Cutting Services at the same Allenton area is the more specialist contact.
Is quartz or granite better for a Derby home?
For the standard Victorian terraces and post-war semis that make up much of Derby's housing stock, quartz is the practical choice. It does not need sealing, suits standard kitchen proportions well, and is available at competitive prices. For the larger properties in the outer DE postcodes and the Peak District fringe villages, granite is worth considering where you want a natural surface with individual character.
What postcodes do the Derby businesses cover?
Tile Giant and Marble and Granite Cutting Services are both in Allenton DE24 on the south side of Derby with good access via the A514. Granite Transformations at Darley Abbey DE21 covers the northern Derby area and surrounding villages. Between them, the three businesses cover DE1, DE3, DE21, DE22, DE23, and DE24 across Derby city. For properties in adjacent postcodes like DE56 Belper or DE55 Alfreton, it is worth confirming coverage when you first make contact.
How long does a stone worktop installation take in Derby?
Stone jobs run over 2 visits. The fabricator visits first to take a precise template at your property, then the slab is cut at the workshop over a few days, and the second visit is the fitting. Tile Giant works with local installers for the fitting stage so the timeline may be slightly different from a direct fabricator. Laminate can usually be done in a single day.
