Quartz overlay worktops are one of the smartest ways to revamp tired surfaces without the cost and disruption of a full kitchen or workspace renovation. But like any popular product, prices can vary wildly—and if you’re not careful, you might find yourself paying more than you need to.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to avoid overpaying for quartz overlay—from what it actually is, to red flags, to finding a trusted installer. Whether you’re a homeowner planning a kitchen refresh or a commercial property owner upgrading office spaces, this is your starting point.
A quartz overlay is a thin slab of engineered quartz that’s designed to fit directly over your existing worktop. Unlike full-depth quartz countertops, overlays are typically around 8mm thick and require less labour, fewer materials, and much less disruption.

Vague or missing itemised quotes – If a supplier won’t break down costs, they may be hiding excessive markups.
High-pressure sales tactics – Phrases like “this price is only valid today” are often used to push inflated pricing.
Too-good-to-be-true discounts – “50% off quartz overlays” sounds amazing, until you see that the original price was double what it should be.
No clear warranty information – Reputable installers back up their work with guarantees.
Always compare at least three quotes. Look for clear breakdowns including materials, installation, finishes, and any extras.
This helps you assess colour accuracy, edge quality, and surface finish in real light.
A trusted supplier will have a portfolio of past installations and real reviews—particularly useful if you’re upgrading commercial premises.
Low-cost pop-ups can disappear just as fast as they arrive. Stick with companies that have experience, public reviews, and contactable support.
