Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ]
How much do worktops cost to fit in Worthing?
Worktop fitting costs in Worthing typically range from £150-£400 per linear metre, including materials. Basic laminate starts from £150, whilst premium quartz or granite can cost £300-£800+ per metre. Installation alone usually costs £50-£100 per metre. Get quotes from local specialists for accurate pricing.
Is quartz or granite worktop better?
Both are excellent choices! Quartz is more consistent in pattern, non-porous (no sealing needed), and slightly more durable. Granite offers unique natural patterns and can be more cost-effective. Quartz wins for low maintenance, whilst granite provides that authentic stone look. Your Worthing specialist can show you samples.
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 Worthing, 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 Worthing 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.
How much does it cost to have worktops replaced in Worthing?
Complete worktop replacement in Worthing costs £800-£3,000+ depending on kitchen size and material choice. Budget laminate jobs start around £800-£1,200, whilst premium quartz installations can reach £2,500-£4,000. Always include removal, disposal, and any plumbing adjustments in quotes.
Which is better Corian or quartz worktops?
Quartz is harder and more scratch resistant, whilst Corian can be seamlessly repaired if damaged. Quartz offers more pattern variety and better heat resistance. Corian provides seamless joins and integrated sinks. For busy family kitchens, quartz usually wins. Both are excellent premium choices available from Worthing 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 Worthing homeowners find professional installation worth the cost for peace of mind.
How long does it take to replace a worktop?
Most worktop replacements take 1-2 days. Simple laminate swaps can be done in a day, whilst templating and fitting stone worktops usually takes 2 days (measuring one day, fitting the next). Complex kitchens or multiple materials might need 3 days. Your Worthing fitter will give accurate timescales after assessment.
