Quartz Worktop Cost Vs Granite
Quartz Worktop Cost vs Granite
Quartz and granite are often shortlisted together, so cost is a natural comparison. Here is an honest look at how the two compare on price.
The short answer
Comparable, but it depends
Quartz and granite are broadly comparable on cost.
Both depend on the slab, the kitchen and the work involved.

Surfaces in a similar range

Quote after a template
Quartz and granite worktops sit in a broadly similar price range, and for both, the cost depends far more on the specific choices than on the material alone. The slab you choose, the size and layout of the kitchen, the edge profile and the number of cut-outs all shape the figure for either surface. Rather than one being simply cheaper, the honest answer is that they overlap, and an itemised quote after a template is the only reliable comparison.

Quartz and granite cost compared
They overlap more than people expect
A common assumption is that one of these materials is always cheaper than the other, but in reality quartz and granite sit in a broadly similar price range. There is overlap, and the figure for either depends heavily on the specific job. Our FAQ on quartz versus granite worktops covers the wider comparison.
What drives the cost of each
For both quartz and granite, the same factors drive the price: the particular slab chosen, the size and layout of the kitchen, the edge profile, the thickness and the number of cut-outs. The material category is only the starting point. Our FAQ on what affects the cost of quartz worktops lists these factors.
The slab choice within each
Within both quartz and granite there is a range, from more affordable options to premium slabs. A premium quartz can cost more than a budget granite, and vice versa. This is why the material name alone tells you little. Our FAQ on premium vs budget quartz worktops covers the quartz range.
Looking at value, not just price
Cost is only half the picture. Quartz is non-porous and never needs sealing, while granite is porous and needs sealing over time, which is a small ongoing cost and effort. Value over the lifespan is the fairer comparison. Our FAQ on whether quartz is worth the money covers this.
