Quartz worktops have become one of the most popular choices for modern kitchens. Homeowners are drawn to the wide range of colours and patterns, along with the practical benefits that come from choosing an engineered stone. Because quartz is created using natural minerals blended with advanced resin bonding, it is available in calm neutral shades, bold statement patterns and everything in between. Whatever your kitchen style, there will be a quartz colour that fits your home perfectly.
Quartz is a natural mineral with a hardness rating of 7 on the Mohs scale, which shows just how durable it is. To create the slabs, manufacturers use around 93 percent natural quartz combined with premium resin. The result is a surface that looks and feels like high quality stone while offering impressive durability for everyday kitchen use.
If you are considering quartz for your kitchen, this guide will help you understand the key benefits, style options and practical features. It has been designed to make choosing the right worktop simple and stress free. Whether you want a classic marble inspired pattern or a clean modern finish, quartz offers a reliable and beautiful solution for your home.
Quartz worktops are known for their impressive appearance, but the benefits go far beyond the finish. Although quartz is a man-made material, it is created using natural minerals and advanced resin bonding which results in a surface that is extremely strong and reliable for everyday kitchen use.
One of the biggest advantages of quartz is its durability. Quartz worktops are highly resistant to stains, scratches and household impacts, making them a practical choice for busy homes. The combination of natural quartz and premium resins also creates a non porous surface, which means germs and bacteria cannot penetrate the worktop.
The manufacturing process plays a key role in the performance of quartz. Each slab is formed by blending natural quartz minerals with polymers, resins and decorative components to achieve a solid, consistent finish. Once the slab is polished and sealed, it can be cut to size and shaped perfectly for your kitchen. Because quartz can be produced in such a controlled way, the colour range is far broader than most natural stone options, giving you endless choice.
Another benefit is hygiene. Thanks to the non porous structure, quartz worktops naturally resist bacteria, mildew and mould when regularly cleaned. This makes them a safe and low maintenance option for family kitchens. They are also viewed as a strong long term investment because a high quality quartz worktop adds value to your home and maintains its appearance for many years.
Choosing the Right Quartz Kitchen Worktop
Choosing the perfect quartz kitchen worktop can feel overwhelming, especially when you want a finish that suits your home and stands the test of time. Your worktops play a major role in the overall design of your kitchen and are used daily for food preparation, serving meals and everyday living, so it is important to choose a style that not only looks right but also performs well.
Quartz worktops are available in a wide variety of colours, patterns and finishes. Because quartz is an engineered material, almost any colour can be created, which gives it one of the largest style ranges of all stone worktop options. Popular finishes include polished, suede and volcano textures, each offering a different look and feel.
You will also find a broad selection of patterns such as plain, veined, fine grain and coarse grain styles. With so many choices available, it is completely normal to want some guidance. At Mayfair Worktops, our team is here to support you throughout the process so you feel confident in your decision. To help you get started, we have created a series of questions and answers that will guide you through the key points to consider when choosing your quartz worktop.
In the early days of quartz, most worktops featured sparkly mirror chips. This meant quartz was mainly used in modern, high gloss and handleless kitchens. Thanks to major advancements in manufacturing technology, quartz is now available in a huge range of styles, including designs with soft veining, marble inspired patterns and finishes without any mirrored sparkle.
Because of this, quartz worktops now suit both modern and traditional kitchens. Whether you want a clean contemporary look or a classic shaker style, there will always be a quartz colour that complements your space.
Choosing between a bold statement worktop or a more understated look comes down to personal preference. Many homeowners prefer their quartz worktops to stand out, especially as the worktop often becomes the main focal point of the kitchen.
A simple way to create a statement is through contrast. For example, a dark quartz worktop against a light kitchen will create a striking visual impact. If you prefer a softer and more seamless style, choose a quartz colour that blends closely with your cabinetry. Matching tones will create a calm and cohesive finish while still giving you the durability and quality quartz is known for.
Choosing between light and dark quartz worktops depends on the mood and style you want to create in your kitchen. Light quartz colours such as soft whites and subtle grey veined patterns help brighten the room and make the space feel larger. These shades work especially well in kitchens with limited natural light or where you want a clean, airy look.
Dark quartz worktops offer a bold and sophisticated feel. Deep blacks, charcoals and rich tones create strong visual contrast and can turn the worktop into a striking focal point. They pair beautifully with lighter cabinets for a balanced look or with darker cabinetry for a dramatic, premium finish.
Thanks to modern manufacturing techniques, quartz is now available in both light and dark shades with a huge range of veining, patterns and finishes. This means you can easily find a colour that suits your kitchen, whether you prefer a contemporary style or a more traditional design.
Quartz upstands and window sills are an excellent way to complete the look of your new worktops. They create a seamless finish, help protect your walls and add a touch of luxury to the overall design. Upstands are also a cost effective alternative to tiling, giving you a cleaner and more coordinated appearance without the added expense.
Matching your upstands and sills to your quartz worktop ensures every part of the kitchen flows together. It is a simple upgrade that enhances both style and practicality, making your worktops look even more impressive.
The most popular edge profile for quartz worktops is the standard chamfer. This style has straight, clean lines that suit almost every kitchen design and it pairs particularly well with modern quartz colours.
Another common choice is the pencil round edge, where the top and bottom edges are gently rounded. This gives a softer look, although it is similar to the profile found on many laminate worktops, which can make the finish appear less premium in some kitchens.
For more traditional interiors, decorative edge options such as ogee, bullnose and half bullnose work beautifully. These styles complement classic veined quartz designs like Carrara and other marble inspired patterns, adding an elegant touch to your kitchen.
Your colour choice will depend on your kitchen style and the overall look you want to create. Our expert stonemasons are always available to offer guidance and help you choose a quartz colour that complements your cabinets, flooring and lighting.
To make the decision even easier, we are happy to send out free samples of your preferred quartz colours. Seeing the samples in your own kitchen space helps you choose the shade that feels right for your home.
Types of Quartz Worktops
Choosing the right quartz worktop can feel as challenging as selecting cabinet colours, wall paint or kitchen tiles. Because quartz is available in a much wider range of colours and patterns than other stone worktops, the number of options can make the decision feel even more difficult.
With so many finishes and styles to choose from, it helps to understand the main types of quartz available and how each one works with different kitchen designs. To make the process easier, we have broken down the most popular options and answered common questions to help you decide which quartz worktop will suit your home best.
Grey Quartz Worktops
Grey quartz worktops are a timeless and versatile choice for modern and traditional kitchens alike. Whether you’re aiming for a light, minimalist aesthetic or a bold, contemporary design, quartz countertops in shades of grey provide the perfect balance of style and durability. From subtle light grey quartz worktops to dramatic dark grey quartz finishes, there is a colour scheme to suit every taste and home.
Made from natural quartz combined with advanced resins, these surfaces are not only beautiful but also incredibly practical. Grey quartz countertops are resistant to scratches, stains, and heat, making them an excellent choice for busy family kitchens as well as sleek, minimalist spaces. With options ranging from polished finishes to matte surfaces, grey quartz offers both elegance and durability in one.
White Quartz Worktop
White quartz worktops are a versatile choice that can complement almost any kitchen design. When paired with neutral or pastel coloured cabinetry, white quartz creates a soft and subtle look that helps the room feel lighter and more spacious. This is ideal for homeowners who prefer a traditional, low impact style with a clean and natural flow.
For those wanting a more striking design, white or cream quartz worktops also work beautifully with darker cabinets. The contrast creates a bold, modern look and turns the worktop into a key feature within the kitchen. Strong contrasts are especially popular in contemporary homes where the worktop becomes the statement centrepiece.
One of our most popular white quartz options is Ice White, a clean and elegant choice that works across a wide range of kitchen styles. If you want samples or personalised advice, our stonemasons are always happy to help you choose the right shade for your home.

Why Buy Quartz Worktops Direct?
Buying quartz worktops directly from the manufacturer or showroom offers major advantages in quality, reliability and value. While you can purchase worktops through kitchen companies or from second hand sources online, these routes often come with risks, added costs and complications that can easily be avoided.
When buying through a kitchen company, you are likely to face third party markups, commissions and additional fees. Communication can also become difficult because the kitchen company acts as a middle point between you and the actual supplier. This often results in delays with templating, delivery and installation. You may also have no control over which supplier is used or whether a qualified stonemason will complete the installation.
Purchasing second hand quartz worktops from auction sites or local listings is an even greater risk. Quartz is durable, but it still requires careful handling to prevent cracks, chips and structural damage. Many second hand pieces have been removed without the proper care, leaving hidden defects that only become obvious during installation. These worktops will also require cutting and resizing to fit your own kitchen, which can add significant extra costs and does not guarantee a perfect result.
Buying direct from the manufacturer eliminates these issues. You avoid middle man costs, benefit from trade level pricing and receive a professionally managed service from start to finish. Your quartz is handled correctly, templated with precision and installed by trained stonemasons. You also receive a proper warranty for complete peace of mind, ensuring your investment is protected for years to come.
