Tell us the piece and where it goes
A sketch, a photograph of the space or a list of sizes is enough to start. Say whether it is inside or outside, what it rests on or fixes to, and whether it should match a worktop you already have.
Bespoke stone, made for more than the kitchen
- 5.0 from 26 Google reviews
- 5-year workmanship · material warranty stated on your quote
- Fitted 5-10 working days from template
Beyond the kitchen, the same quartz, granite and sintered stone becomes table tops, bar tops, windowsills, doorsteps, stairs, shelves, chopping boards and coasters, each one cut, profiled and polished in our own workshop to your measurements. Larger pieces are priced by the square metre from £110/m² (stone only); small ones are priced as a piece on the quote.
What we make
Bespoke stone pieces, one page each
Each piece has its own page: which stone suits it, how it is measured, what it needs around it and what it costs to make.
Stone table tops
Square, rectangular, round or oval tops for kitchens, restaurants and cafes, every edge profiled because a table has no wall to hide against, and drilled to the bases you already own.
Stone bar tops
Home and trade bars, where the overhang is the job: past about 300mm unsupported it gets steel or corbels underneath, and the front edge is polished on every face people touch.
Stone windowsills
Internal sills, standard or notched into the reveal, ideally cut from the same batch as the worktop at the same template visit, and often from its offcut.
Stone doorsteps
A threshold or front step cut to the opening, with the edge profiled and the surface finished for feet. An external step rules quartz out, so the stone is chosen for the weather before the colour.
Stone stairs
Treads and risers cut to a template of the staircase as built, with the nosing profiled and every step matched to the one above it.
Stone chopping boards
Serving, pastry and hot-pan boards with polished edges, often from your own worktop offcut. Stone is hard on a knife edge, so we say plainly what a stone board is good for.
Stone coasters
Sets of coasters cut to the size and shape you choose, edges polished, in a stone that matches your worktop or contrasts with your table.
Stone shelves
Floating and alcove shelves in the stone of your worktop or bathroom, with the fixing and the load settled before the wall is finished.
Reception counters
Counter tops fabricated to a joiner's carcass, with the lower transaction shelf, the clear knee space under it and the cable apertures cut in the workshop.The same slab, the same saw, a different piece
A kitchen worktop is one thing a slab of stone can become. The machines that cut a hob aperture and polish a worktop edge will cut a table top, a stair tread, a shelf or a set of coasters just as accurately, and the stone does not know which room it is going to.
What changes from piece to piece is what it has to do. A stair tread is walked on and needs a nosing and a surface that is not slippery. A doorstep sits outside, which rules some stone out before colour is discussed. A shelf is a cantilever with its fixings hidden. A chopping board is a hard surface that knives lose to. Each product page below covers its own piece in that detail.
Many of these pieces can come out of the offcut of your own worktop, so a shelf, a board or a set of coasters matches the kitchen exactly. That only works if you ask before the job, while the offcut is still yours and before it goes back into the racks.

Choosing the stone
Which material for a bespoke piece
Supply rates are read from our catalogue and cover the stone only. Cutting, edges, polishing and fitting are quoted as their own lines, and a small piece is priced as a piece.
| Material | Colours | Supply from | Beyond the kitchen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quartz | 69 | £130/m² | Indoor pieces: shelves, table tops, boards, coasters and internal sills. No sealing and the widest colour range. It contains resin, so it is not one for outside or for direct sun. |
| Granite | 45 | £121/m² | The natural stone, and the traditional choice for a step or threshold. Tolerates heat, so it suits a hot-pan board. Porous, so it is sealed before use and resealed periodically. |
| Dekton | 63 | £110/m² | Pieces that face the weather, sun or hard wear, inside or out. No sealing. Brittle where unsupported and hard on cutting tools, so thin or long pieces need support thought through. |
| Sintered stone | 8 | £280/m² | Our own sintered stone range. No sealing, stable in sun and copes with acidic spills better than quartz, which suits a bar or table top as well as an outdoor piece. |
Free samples are posted from the Worktop Worx quartz collection, up to four at a time. Other quartz, granite and sintered stone are judged from the slab.
How a piece is made
From an idea to a finished piece of stone
The order is the same for a set of coasters as for a staircase. What changes is whether we measure it or you do.
Choose the stone
Either a colour from our range or the offcut of your own worktop, if it is still with us and large enough. The material is chosen for what the piece has to do before the colour is, because a step outside and a shelf inside want different stone.
- 03 On site, or from your sizes
Template or dimensions
A loose piece, such as a chopping board or a set of coasters, is made to the dimensions you give us. A fitted piece, such as a stair, a sill, a shelf or a doorstep, is templated on site once whatever it sits on is built and fixed.
Cut, profile and polish
Every piece is cut in our own workshop, its edges profiled and polished on every face that will show. Curves and rounds are cut on the CNC from the drawing rather than by hand.
Fitted or handed over
Fitted pieces are fitted by our own team. How loose pieces reach you is arranged on the quote.
The parts that decide it
What changes when the stone leaves the kitchen
The cutting is the same. These are the questions that are not.
Inside or outside
Quartz contains resin and is not one for outside or for direct sun. Granite is the traditional external stone and sintered stone copes with weather and sun. If a piece is going outside, say so at quotation and we will tell you plainly whether it is a job we can take on.
What it rests on
A table top sits on a base, a tread on a stair, a shelf on hidden fixings, a sill on a reveal. Whatever carries the stone has to be built, fixed and level before it is templated, and building it is not our work.
Every edge shows
A worktop hides its back edge against a wall. A table, a shelf, a board or a coaster shows every edge, so every edge is profiled and polished, and the profile is chosen for the hand or foot that meets it.
Offcuts belong to the job
The leftover from a kitchen is often big enough for a shelf, a sill, a board or a set of coasters in exactly the same stone. Ask before the job is cut. Once an offcut has gone back into the racks or been broken down, it is not coming back.
Matching existing stone
Ordered with the worktop, a piece comes from the same slab run. Ordered later, engineered stone may have changed batch and granite will be a different slab, so expect a close relative rather than a twin.
Which warranty applies
In a home, the stone carries our 25-year material warranty, which is written for residential installations. In a business, the stone is covered by the maker's commercial warranty instead, and our 5-year workmanship guarantee covers the fitting either way. Which applies is stated on your quote.
Before we cut
What we need, and what is not ours
Most of the first list is about the thing the stone sits on or fixes to, because the stone cannot fix any of it.
Have this ready
- What the piece is for, where it goes and whether it is inside or outside
- For a loose piece: the dimensions, the shape and how many
- For a fitted piece: whatever it sits on built, fixed and level
- Whether it should match an existing worktop, and which colour that is
- If you want your worktop offcut used, tell us before the kitchen is cut
- A clear route in for anything long, such as a stair tread or a table top
What we do not do
- Build bases, carcasses, stair structures or steps beneath the stone
- Groundwork, building or structural work of any kind
- Plumbing or electrics: we cut the apertures, other trades connect
- Fit stone onto anything that is not fixed down and level
- Put quartz outside or in direct sun
Questions
Bespoke stone: the questions worth asking
If yours is not here, ring and ask. You will get a straight answer rather than a call-back from a salesperson.
01What bespoke stone pieces do you make?
Table tops, bar tops, internal windowsills, doorsteps, stairs, chopping boards, coasters, shelves and reception counters, in quartz, granite, Dekton and other sintered stone. If what you have in mind is not on that list, describe it when you ask for a quote and we will say whether it is something we can make.
02Can you make something from my worktop offcut?
Often, yes, as long as you ask before the kitchen is cut. A piece large enough for a shelf, a sill, a chopping board or a set of coasters can usually be nested out of what is left. Once the offcut has gone back into the racks or been broken down, it is gone.
03How much does a bespoke stone piece cost?
Larger pieces are priced like a worktop, by the square metre, from £110 to £550 across the surfaces we hold, stone only. A shelf 0.9m long and 0.25m deep is 0.23m², so at the quartz entry rate of £130/m² the stone is about £30. Cutting, edges, polishing and fitting are quoted as their own lines, and small loose pieces such as boards and coasters are priced as a piece.
04Do you need to measure, or can I give you sizes?
For a loose piece, your sizes are enough: a board, a set of coasters or a table top for a base you already own. For anything fitted into the building, such as stairs, a sill, a shelf or a doorstep, we template on site once whatever it sits on is built, because a room is never quite the drawing.
05Can any of these pieces go outside?
Some can, in the right stone. Quartz cannot: it contains resin and is not one for outside or direct sun. Granite and sintered stone are the families to look at. Say so at quotation if the piece is going outside, and we will tell you plainly whether it is a job we can take on.
06Will a piece made later match my kitchen worktop?
Ordered with the worktop, it comes from the same slab run and matches. Ordered later, engineered stone may have changed batch and granite will be a different slab, so expect a close relative rather than a twin. Where the two are in different rooms that is usually fine.

Worth reading
Before you book bespoke stone
The questions that come up most, answered in full rather than in a sentence.
A window sill cut with the worktop
The best stone for an internal window sill is usually the one your worktop is made of, cut from the same batch at the same template visit. Quartz suits most kitchens and bathrooms, granite suits a sill you will seal, and a notched sill sits neatly inside the reveal.
Read the guideWhich edge profile suits which kitchen
The edge is the part of the worktop you touch every day and the detail that dates a kitchen fastest. What the common profiles are, what each costs you in labour, and how to pick.
Read the guideWhat sintered stone actually is
Sintered stone is a worktop slab made by pressing mineral powders under very high pressure and firing them until they fuse into one dense body, with no resin binding it. That is why nothing in it can scorch, it never needs sealing and it can be made thin.

How to tell whether your granite actually needs resealing, why the annual rule everyone repeats is wrong, and how to apply a sealer without leaving a haze you then have to fix.
