The single biggest variable in what bathroom worktop fitting costs in Keston is not the material you pick but the room you are asking it to fit. Semi-rural plots with very large kitchens, frequently a full knock-through with an island over 3m, a range cooker recess and a separate utility and pantry. A fair number are full rebuilds where the kitchen is specified from plan rather than replaced. None of that changes what you pay in Keston. The figure is set at template and it holds from there.
These kitchens carry two ovens, a wine cabinet and a boiling tap, so the cut-out count runs well ahead of what the length of the runs suggests. Nobody looks at a bathroom surface until the sealant discolours, at which point nobody looks at anything else in the room. The same stone as the kitchen, in a narrower cut.
Windows are small and set deep, which leaves the run under them dark and the reveal too deep for a plain square end. Long uninterrupted walls mean a vanity can run further than the unit beneath it, and any unsupported length is settled at the drawing stage. Half tiling leaves a line the splash return has to meet.
The stock behind these kitchens runs to large detached, 1930s country-style detached, modern replacement house and converted cottage. Which of those you have decides most of what follows.
