Supply only: the slab itself. Fabrication, edge profile, cut-outs, delivery and installation are quoted on top and itemised, so nothing appears at the end that you did not agree at the start.
Is it right for you
Supply only, Colonial White Sensa runs £200 per square metre. That is 27th out of the 45 granite surfaces on the list. That is £23 above the £177 median for the family, so it is a dearer choice within its own material rather than across the catalogue.
Dried water spots and light scratching disappear into a grey more readily than into any other natural stone here, which is why it turns out to be the most forgiving option in a household with children.
There is £79 of granite priced below Colonial White Sensa and £350 of it above, which is worth knowing before treating the rate as high or low. 8 other surfaces in the catalogue carry the same rate, across different materials, so the price alone will not choose between them. Within its own grey group Colonial White Sensa is the 6th cheapest of 10.
9 other granite surfaces share its grey tone, Magnific White at £183, Blue Antique at £217 and Millennium Cream at £151 among them. The nearest thing to it in another material is Sahara Stone at £200, a quartz, and the choice between them is about behaviour rather than budget.
Towards the upper half of the granite range the stones get more distinctive, and matching a second slab for a large kitchen gets harder rather than easier.
The photograph above is indicative. Screens shift colour, and granite varies slab to slab, so your piece will not be identical to this image. We hold offcuts of the Worktop Worx quartz collection only, so we cannot post you a piece of this one. It is ordered in by the slab, and the slab is what you would be shown before anything is cut.

If you choose it
Send the sizes, a plan or a few photographs. A person prices it and itemises every piece, cut-out and edge.
Two to three hours for a typical kitchen. We digitally template every run, record wall run-out, unit heights and appliance positions, agree with you where the joins will fall and where the tap holes and drainer grooves go, and confirm the edge profile.
Colonial White Sensa is cut to that template and fitted 5 to 10 working days from template, with a 5-year workmanship guarantee.
Before you commit
The survey and the written quote cost nothing and carry no deposit. A deposit is taken when you accept and book the template, and the balance is due before installation. Every cut-out, edge and join is priced on its own line.
Up to the template visit you can cancel and we refund the deposit less anything already spent reserving material. After it, the stone is cut to your kitchen and cannot be put back, which is why we template rather than work from your measurements. Read the terms
If someone else has to agree, the quote is itemised so it can be read line by line by whoever is checking it, and we can arrange to show you the actual slab before it is cut. What the guarantees cover
Every one of these is on our Google profile under the reviewer’s own name. Nothing here is written by us, and the link goes straight to the source.
“I am really happy with the work! He fitted my kitchen granite worktop really nicely and got the job done on time, just as promised. He was friendly, professional, and made sure everything was done the way I wanted. Would definitely recommend Karam to anyone looking for a great job!”
“Perfect service,the best on this job”
“I recently had my kitchen worktop and splashback done by Karem from Worktop WorX and i am very pleased with the result. From the initial consultation and measurements to the final installation, the whole process was smooth and professional. The attention for details and the quality made the difference and everything was finished to a high standard. I…”

Worth comparing two or three before you settle, because the same room can take a much darker or much busier surface than a photograph suggests.
Worth reading
Granite
Granite is quarried natural stone: every slab is different, heat off the hob is a non-issue, and it needs sealing periodically.
Most of what we fit is 20mm or 30mm. Where you want a chunkier look, we mitre the edge (a 20mm slab folded down to give a 40mm or 60mm apron), which reads as solid stone without the weight or cost of a genuinely thick slab.
Quarried stone shrugs off heat from the hob.
Veining and movement are the point of it.
Porosity varies by stone, which is why it is sealed.
Sealed when fitted, topped up over the years.
Granite samples cannot be posted, so we talk you through the slab.
Next step
Send plans or photos with rough measurements and we will come back with a real number rather than a range that moves later. Free samples are available on the Worktop Worx quartz collection, though not on this one.
