From £261 /m²
Made to order · cut to your kitchen, fitted 5–10 working days from template
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
At £261 per square metre supply only, Laos is the 37th of the 71 sintered stone surfaces we fit, counting up from the cheapest. That is the median for the family exactly, which makes it a fair reference point for what this material costs before any fabrication. The next sintered stone up in price is Zenith at £262.
Sintered stone is the most durable family we fit: highly scratch and heat resistant, non-porous, and thin enough at 12mm to take a mitred edge that would look clumsy in anything else.
Laos sits £151 above the cheapest sintered stone we fit and £105 below the dearest, so it is mid-range within its own material rather than at either end. 3 other surfaces in the catalogue carry the same rate, across different materials, so the price alone will not choose between them.
We have not recorded a colour tone for this one, so it will not show under a tone filter. We would rather leave that blank than guess it from a catalogue photograph. The nearest thing to it in another material is Golden Calacatta at £270, a quartz, and the choice between them is about behaviour rather than budget.
On a job with an undermount sink, a hob cut-out and a mitred island the fabrication can outrun the difference between two bands. Get the quote itemised and decide where the money does the most work.
The photograph above is indicative. Screens shift colour, and batches vary, so a slab can read warmer or cooler than an image suggests. 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.
At a glance
Thicknesses and slab sizes available in this colour are confirmed in writing when we quote, because stock changes. Fitted 5–10 working days from template, with a 25-year material warranty and a 5-year workmanship guarantee.

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.
Laos 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.
“We recently had our kitchen worktops supplied and fitted by Worktop WorX using Laurent Gold sintered stone, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. The finish, quality, and attention to detail were outstanding from start to finish. Karem was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer…”
“I am really happy with my worktop. It is beautiful and the service provided was second to none. I totally recommend.”
“We recently had a Calacatta Gold worktop installed by Worktop Worx and are really pleased with the result. It has completely transformed our kitchen, much brighter, modern, and high-end compared to our old wooden surface. The team were professional, efficient, and the finish is excellent with great attention to detail. The worktop looks amazing and is…”

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
Dekton
Sintered surfaces like Dekton are the most durable of the three: highly scratch and heat resistant, and thin enough to take a fine mitred edge.
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.
Nothing in it can scorch.
Liquids sit on the surface.
No sealant schedule, ever.
The most durable of the three materials we fit.
Thin enough to take a crisp mitre.
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.
