Granite & quartz countertop prices, explained

Why we don’t publish a price per metre, what actually moves the price of a kitchen top, and how to measure up for a fast, accurate quote.

Search for granite top prices and you’ll find figures per metre that rarely match the quote you get. That’s because a countertop isn’t sold like a tile. The same kitchen can be priced very differently depending on the stone, the thickness, the shape of the tops and how many openings need cutting into them.

So we quote every kitchen individually — usually within the hour on WhatsApp during business hours — and we’re happy to price granite, Eezi Quartz and Caesarstone side by side. Here is what goes into that number, so you can compare quotes properly and decide where your money matters most.

What sets the price

  1. The material and colour

    Granite, Eezi Quartz and Caesarstone sit at different levels, and within each range the colour matters: granite is priced by the stone, Eezi Quartz is our value quartz range, and Caesarstone is priced by collection and colour.

  2. The thickness

    Our granite is 30 mm and Eezi Quartz 20 mm; Caesarstone comes in 13, 20 or 30 mm depending on the colour. A thicker slab is more stone.

  3. The size and shape of your tops

    The total length and depth of every run, plus any island, breakfast bar or server. Corners and islands mean more cutting and more joins than one straight run.

  4. The edge profile

    The edge runs along every exposed side of the top. A simple profile is quicker to form than a decorative one.

  5. The cut-outs

    Every opening — the sink, the hob, tap holes — is cut and finished in the workshop, so the number of cut-outs is part of the price.

  6. Templating, delivery and installation

    We template on site, cut and install with our own team. When you compare quotes, check each one includes the same things — or says clearly that it is supply-only.

How to measure your kitchen for a quote

You don’t need exact templates to get a price — we template on site before anything is cut. A tape measure and ten minutes are enough for an accurate quote.

  1. Sketch the kitchen from above — a rough drawing is fine. Mark the walls, the stove, the sink and any island.
  2. Measure the length of every run of countertop, end to end, in millimetres. Where two runs meet in a corner, measure each one to the wall.
  3. Measure the depth of each run, including the overhang you want past the cabinet doors.
  4. Note every cut-out: the sink (and whether it sits on top of the stone or under it), the hob and any tap holes.
  5. Pick a stone and edge, or tell us what you’re weighing up — we’ll price the options side by side.
  6. Send the sketch, the measurements and a few photos of the kitchen to us on WhatsApp.

Countertop prices: your questions answered

How much do granite tops cost per metre?

There isn’t one honest per-metre figure: the price depends on the granite, the depth and shape of your tops, the edge and the cut-outs. Send us your measurements and we’ll give you a written quote for your kitchen — usually within the hour on WhatsApp during business hours.

Is quartz cheaper than granite?

Not always. Eezi Quartz is our value quartz range, granite varies with the stone you choose, and Caesarstone is priced by collection and colour, so the ranges overlap. We’ll price your kitchen in more than one material so you can compare like with like.

Why do countertop quotes differ so much?

Because they often include different things. Check that each quote covers the same stone and thickness, the same edge profile, every cut-out, templating, delivery and installation — or says clearly that it is supply-only.

What do I need to send for a countertop quote?

A rough sketch of the layout, the length and depth of each run of top, the cut-outs you need (sink, hob, tap holes) and the stone you have in mind. A few photos of the kitchen help. WhatsApp is the quickest way to send it.

Do you offer trade pricing on countertops?

Yes. Kitchen companies, builders and developers get trade pricing on granite, quartz and Caesarstone, supply-only or supplied and installed.

Can I get a quote without visiting the warehouse?

Yes. WhatsApp us your plan or measurements and the colours you like, and we’ll send a quote and photos of current slabs. You can visit the Northriding warehouse in Randburg to confirm your slab before we cut.
