What is the most scratch resistant worktop?

Quartz worktops are the most scratch resistant for everyday use, followed closely by granite. Dekton and ultra-compact surfaces are even tougher but pricier. Avoid cutting directly on any surface though - always use chopping boards to maintain that pristine look!

Is quartz cheaper than granite?

Generally, no. Quartz typically costs £300-£600 per square metre, whilst granite ranges £250-£500. However, quartz needs no sealing and lasts longer, making it better value long-term. Prices vary significantly in Leigh, so compare local quotes for the best deals.

What is the best thickness for worktops?

20mm is the sweet spot for most kitchens - strong enough for daily use without being overly expensive. 30mm looks more premium and handles heavy use better, whilst 12mm suits budget renovations but needs extra support. Most Leigh fitters recommend 20mm as the best balance.

Is laminate or quartz better for kitchen worktops?

Quartz wins for durability, scratch resistance, and resale value, but costs 3-4 times more. Modern laminate looks fantastic and suits most budgets perfectly. If you're staying long-term and cook frequently, choose quartz. For budget renovations or rental properties, quality laminate is brilliant.

Which is better Corian or quartz worktops?

Corian provides seamless joins and integrated sinks. For busy family kitchens, quartz usually wins. Both are excellent premium choices available from Leigh specialists.

Can I replace a worktop myself?

Simple straight worktops can be DIY projects if you're handy with tools. However, complex shapes, cut-outs for hobs/sinks, or heavy materials like granite need professionals. Mistakes are expensive to fix! Most Leigh homeowners find professional installation worth the cost for peace of mind.
