Can you replace kitchen work surfaces?


Recommended Posts

Sorry this is a bit of a dull question, but I figured you guys would know!


I have solid wood worktops in my kitchen and I hate them, they always look tatty and worn, even though they are three years old and I have oiled them (and I chose them - should have known better).


Is it possible to retrofit new work surfaces? Is it a massive/expensive job?


If its possible what do you recommend - I need something hardwearing and hassle free - I'm thinking quartz?

Yes you can-- we did that for the kitchen in our old flat. Its not terribly expensive but of course that depends on what you use. For the retrofit we used granite but in our new kitchen we have quartz. We sourced both from Affordable Granite which are very good value and I can attest that the work is very good and lasts.


Quartz isn't cheap but the cost will really depend on the size of your kitchen. Their prices including installation prices and options are available on the website.


Good luck.

Hubbie has fitted many worktops. He suggests bamboo (the 'green' option), which is easy to fit and not expensive. Granite is super hardwearing, but more difficult to fit (and v expensive).


Personally I like tiles, but I might be a bit of a weirdo... (DH says they're not hygienic -- since when does he ever clean the worktops?!)


Anyhoo, yes you can definitely replace kitchen work surfaces! It's a couple of days labour, plus your materials fees.

Mr Worktops in Camberwell (under the arches, near the bus depot) is very good for Corian-type things - we got worktop from them and is lovely. Very helpful and friendly service too. PM if you want more details

    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
