Average Installation cost in Grays

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 £600 to £1,200 for a typical kitchen. Quartz or granite comes in at £1,500 to £4,000 for a standard kitchen run. Grays sits within the Thurrock market, broadly in line with south Essex rather than the higher London-adjacent pricing of areas like Rainham or Erith. Worktop replacement only (existing cabinets, like-for-like swap): Labour and templating only with the customer supplying material costs £300 to £590. Stone replacement on existing carcasses, fully fitted, starts around £800 to £1,500. Worktop repair (chip, crack or scratch resurfacing): Minor laminate repair runs £80 to £150. Stone chip or crack repair is £150 to £330, depending on the damage and access. Templating or measuring visit (if charged separately): Typically £130 to £260 in the RM17 and RM20 area. Most businesses are based on the London Road corridor in RM20. Confirm whether templating is included when you first enquire. Removal and disposal of old worktop: Around £80 to £190 added to the fitting job. Stone worktops cost more to remove due to weight.

Types of Materials found in Grays

Quartz is the most popular stone worktop upgrade across the Thurrock postcodes. The post-war semis and newer development housing that makes up most of Grays and the surrounding Thurrock area suits quartz well as a low-maintenance, practical surface. Installed prices run from around £330 to £510 per square metre. SMG Surfaces at London Road RM20 has 15 reviews at 5 stars and covers quartz supply and installation for the Grays and West Thurrock area. Cosentino Center Thurrock at Waterglade Industrial Estate RM20 is the national Silestone and Dekton showroom, where you can view a wide range of quartz slabs before committing to an order. Granite is chosen in the larger properties across Thurrock and in the surrounding Essex villages, where homeowners want the natural character and heat resistance of real stone. Granite Viking at Towers Road RM17 covers granite supply and installation for the Grays town area. CED Stone Landscape at Purfleet RM20 covers natural stone including granite alongside their landscape stone range. Installed granite costs between £300 and £570 per square metre. Cosentino Center Thurrock at Waterglade Industrial Estate RM20 is the most distinctive listing in Grays, as the only dedicated Cosentino showroom in the area. Cosentino's Dekton ultra-compact surface is a sintered stone material that is harder than quartz, resistant to heat and UV, and available in very large format slabs. It is more expensive than standard quartz or granite. The Thurrock showroom is worth visiting if you are considering Dekton or Silestone quartz as part of a higher-specification kitchen project.
