Bespoke Worktop Buying Guide

Made to measure to meet the exact requirements of any given project, this bespoke worktop buying guide explains what to expect from our template and fit service, the benefits when choosing a solid surface option, and an overview of what options are available in our collection. With a selection of colours, finishes and profiled edges to choose from, these surfaces offer homeowners complete customisation for a feature that is one of a kind to a home. Made from durable quartz or acrylic, they are a long-lasting investment that will stand the test of time.

What are bespoke surfaces?

Constructed from either quartz or acrylic, bespoke counters are customised in any size, shape, colour, and finish for a personalised look. Made to measure, they create a signature feature that is one of kind.
How does it work?

Once a style is chosen, our engineers will measure up to create a custom template. This is used to construct the surface to the exact dimensions, which takes two weeks. It is then fitted by experts as part of the price.

Extended guarantees

All of the bespoke acrylic surfaces come with a 10-year guarantee and our quartz options have an 25-year guarantee as standard. This protects against manufacturer's defects and offers the confidence that they are built to last.
Durable and hardwearing

Durable and hardwearing

Bespoke quartz surfaces have a dense construction crafted with 90 per cent quartz for a higher quality finish. This makes them non-porous, resistant to water, heat, stains, scratches, and acid for a long-lasting fit. Meanwhile, acrylic panels are robust and can withstand bacteria growth, mould, and mildew, making them a hygienic option for busy homes.

How to order a made-to-measure surface

Design the surface

Design the surface

Like choosing cabinetry colours and styles, designing a bespoke solid surface is the same. Our designers will guide you through all the options at a design appointment, to determine what will be the best fit. We can also help with heavily-veined patterns to ensure in runs consistently on all surfaces for a premium look.

Plan a home visit

To ensure a surface fits the exact requirements, our template engineers will plan a home visit, where they will measure up and create a template for the custom worktop. This will be completed after cabinetry is fully installed by a trade professional, providing it is safe to do so, in line with COVID-19 government guidance.

Confirm the order

Confirm the order

Once the template is completed, the order needs to be confirmed with the depot before it is manufactured. After that, it will take two weeks to make and before a fitting date can be booked. In the meantime, a trade professional can continue with the remainder of a renovation project.

Installation is included as part of the template and fit service, so your trade person can continue with the rest of the construction work to speed up a renovation. Fitted by the supplier, the cost of fitting is included in the overall price, which a trade professional will provide in their quote.
