    Compare your options and choose

    Discuss materials, finishes, edge profiles and pricing. Compare what's on offer and choose the professional and quote that work for you. There's no obligation to go ahead.

Before you start

What's helpful to have ready

You don't need exact measurements to request a quote, but a little information helps professionals respond with useful advice.

  • Your current layoutThe shape of your kitchen (galley, L-shaped, U-shaped or with an island) and rough lengths if you know them.
  • A few photosPhotos of your existing benchtops and cabinetry help professionals understand the job before they visit.
  • A budget rangeA rough range helps professionals suggest materials and finishes that suit you. You're not committing to anything.

After you enquire

What a typical benchtop project looks like

Every professional works a little differently, but most benchtop projects follow a similar path.

  1. STAGE 1

    Initial chat

    The professional discusses your needs, materials and rough pricing.

  2. STAGE 2

    Measure and quote

    Many professionals measure on site, often creating a template, before confirming a detailed quote.

  3. STAGE 3

    Fabrication

    Once you've accepted a quote, your benchtop is cut and finished to suit your kitchen.

  4. STAGE 4

    Installation

    Your new benchtop is installed. Ask whether removal of your old benchtop and any plumbing reconnection is included.

Choosing a professional: before going ahead, we recommend getting quotes in writing, asking what’s included (removal, cut-outs, edge profiles, plumbing), and checking the professional’s licences and insurance where required in your state. Learn more about benchtop materials.
