There is no single answer to what bathroom worktop fitting in St Margarets costs, and the honest version of that answer starts with the kind of kitchen involved. Grand detached villas on the old estate roads sit alongside tight Edwardian terraces, so the work splits between 4m island kitchens in a rear garden room and 2.4m galley refits in a terrace where the kitchen is still in the original back addition. The survey answers it, the drawing records it, and you sign off the drawing before a single sheet is cut.
Original solid floors are quarry tile or flagstone bedded on ash, and they have moved with the ground rather than with the building. Cleaning is what a bathroom surface actually lives through, since limescale, bleach and whatever gets used on the mirror all end up on it sooner or later. A cloakroom top and an en-suite top are one job at two sizes.
The kitchen is a rear service room with a scullery and a larder off it, and both have usually survived as separate spaces. Bathrooms in houses this size are big enough for a double vanity, and a top with two basins and several tap holes is a worktop by any other measure. What the wall is made of decides how the unit is fixed.
The fabric of the place is Victorian villa on the St Margarets estate, Edwardian terrace, 1930s semi and modern riverside flats. That is why the same worktop costs differently two doors apart.
