Bespoke Quartz kitchen worktops
Every quartz kitchen worktop we supply is made specifically for to fit your kitchen. Surfaces can be manufactured to suit any kitchen layout, including central islands, peninsulas and longer runs of worktop.
Following a detailed site survey to create digital templates, our manufacturing partner uses advanced CNC machinery and waterjet cutting to accurately produce worktops finished with clean, consistent edges. Cut-outs can be incorporated for sinks, taps, hobs and draining grooves, allowing each element to fit perfectly within the overall design.
Where quartz splashbacks or upstands are included, features such as sockets, lighting and wall fittings can also be incorporated during production. This level of accuracy reduces the need for on-site adjustments and helps to speed up the installation process.
Design options, finishes and detailing
Quartz countertops are made using natural quartz combined with resins and pigments, allowing for a wide choice of colours and finishes. We work with a range of established quartz brands including Silestone, Caesarstone, Classic Quartz and Brachot. This enables us to source a myriad of options, so just let us know if you have a specific style in mind.
Surface patterns include stone-effect designs with soft veining, subtle flecks and simple block colour styles. You can also tailor the edge profile and surface finish to complement your décor scheme. Choose from glossy polished styles through to softer honed and matt textures.
Want matching quartz splashbacks or upstands? These can be made to fit your space, with options for full-height splashbacks or smaller feature areas. For a more distinctive look, fluted detailing can be incorporated into splashbacks, as seen in our Midhurst showroom display.

As such, quartz kitchen worktops are hygienic and easy to clean, as they won’t absorb moisture or stains. The hardwearing engineered surface is also scratch resistant, so stands up well to wear and tear.
3. Can you use quartz for bathroom countertops?

Quartz is a robust material designed to withstand regular use. With proper care, quartz worktops can last for decades while retaining their appearance and performance. Their resistance to staining, scratching and general wear makes them a long-lasting option for busy family households.
6. What’s the difference between polished, honed, & leathered quartz?
We offer a range of surface finish options for our quartz worktops. Here are three of the most popular surface finishes and the differences between them:
- Polished: glossy, reflective, easy to clean and a popular option
- Honed: matte appearance, with a softer, less reflective look to suit a variety of styles
- Leathered: lightly textured appearance that provides a more tactile feel
Our team will be happy to show you a variety of quartz samples to help you pick the right one.
7. Are quartz countertops and vanities easy to clean?
Yes, quartz worktops are very easy to maintain and do not require sealing like natural stone. For day-to-day cleaning, simply wipe the surface down with warm water and a mild washing-up liquid, then buff with a soft cloth to remove water marks. And while quartz is non-porous, stains should be mopped up quickly, as prolonged exposure to strong liquids or colours may stain lighter surfaces. Do not use abrasive scouring pads and avoid harsh cleaning chemicals as they may also mark or dull the surface finish.
8. Can quartz kitchen worktops be scratched?
Quartz provides good resistance to scratches and is well suited to the rigours of busy family kitchens, but it is not completely scratch proof. With that in mind, you should not cut or chop directly on the surface and instead, use a chopping board.
9. Can I put hot pans directly on quartz worktops?
No, quartz is highly resistant to heat, but prolonged exposure to very hot pans may mark or damage the surface. This is generally true for all forms of natural and manmade surfaces. To protect your quartz worktops, we recommend using trivets or surface protectors.
10. Do quartz worktops stain?
Quartz provides high stain resistance with the added benefit that it does not require periodic sealing like natural stone. That said, it is advisable to wipe up spills quickly, as strong colours such as turmeric may stain if left in contact for long periods. Acidic substances can also dull the surface finish.
11. Do quartz countertops require sealing?
No, unlike natural stone such as granite, quartzite and marble, quartz is a dense manmade material made from ground stone and resins. This means that quartz is a non-porous material and does not need to be sealed.
