How much do concrete worktops cost?

Ours start at £550 per linear metre, supply only, for a standard-depth worktop with a 30mm edge in one of our stock colours. Per square metre, that is from £850 at 30mm and from £1,150 at 50mm. An integrated concrete sink adds from £450. Templating, delivery and fitting are priced separately and quoted with the worktop.

Most kitchens land between that and about twice it, depending on the things below.

The precise one takes a drawing and a day or two.

What is in the price?

Design, with us. Casting in GFRC or UHPC, in a mix we make here. Finishing and sealing with SureCrete XS-327. Pieces we make and fit carry the ROKA 5-Year Guarantee. On a supply-only order, you check the pieces within 48 hours of delivery and we remake anything that fails the check.

Quoted on top: templating in your kitchen, delivery, and fitting within roughly 50 miles of Small Dole. We fit our own work, so you get one price for the lot before anything is cast.

Not included: removing the old worktop, plumbing and electrics, and the appliances themselves. Your kitchen fitter handles those, or we can arrange it.

What moves the price?

Size. We price by the metre, so a 3m run costs less than a 6m one. Simple.

Thickness and edge. Most worktops are cast at their full finished thickness, 30mm or 50mm. A deeper edge takes more material and more mould work. Where weight matters, GFRC lets us cast thinner with a returned edge, so it looks the same and weighs far less.

Cut-outs. A hob cut-out is straightforward. An undermount sink with drainer grooves is a day of finishing. An integrated concrete sink is cast as part of the top, and priced as one.

Finish and colour. Around thirty stock colours cost the same. A custom match to a sample you bring us costs more, because we make trial mixes until it is right.

Workshop cast or cast in place. Most worktops are cast flat in the workshop and carried in. When a run has to turn a corner without a joint, we build the formwork on your cabinets and pour it there. That is more days on site, and it is priced that way.

Distance. Sussex and Surrey are standard. Larger commissions go to London. Supply only, we deliver across mainland UK and quote delivery with the worktop.

Is concrete cheaper than quartz or granite?

A plain quartz top from a big supplier will usually cost less than a cast concrete one. A stone top with a waterfall end and a shaped edge often costs more.

What you get from us that stone cannot do is the shape. Waterfall islands with no visible joint. A sink that is the same piece as the top. A curve. A colour matched to your floor.

How do I get a price?

Send us a sketch with the dimensions and a photo of the kitchen, or the designer's drawing. We come back within two working days with a price and a lead time.

Lead time is typically 3 to 6 weeks from design confirmation. Rush jobs by agreement.

Free samples first, if you like. We post out cast concrete tablets in the stock colours so you can see them against your cabinets before anything is quoted.
