There is no single answer to what bathroom worktop fitting in Bexleyheath costs, and the honest version of that answer starts with the kind of kitchen involved. Interwar semis in bulk: kitchen at the rear beside a dining room, usually knocked into one to give a 3.5m run down one wall with a peninsula. Rear extensions with bifolds are the standard upgrade and bring islands with them. The tape measure decides it, not the description above, and not anything anybody says over the telephone.
The original plan put a larder and a back door on the same wall, and both leave awkward stubs once the room is opened up. Ventilation, heating and lighting all compete for the same short stretch of wall, so by the time the surface is drawn the room has already been argued over once. A cloakroom top and an en-suite top are one job at two sizes.
The kitchen is usually a rear room extended into the garden, with the original external wall now standing inside the run. Half-tiled walls are the pattern in these houses, and the tile line is what a splash return has to meet, which is settled before the top is drawn rather than after. Concrete walls take a bracket well and a chase badly.
On these streets the housing is 1930s semi, interwar detached, postwar estate and 1990s town-centre flats. None of them is harder than the others; they are awkward in different ways.
