Purchasing new kitchen worktops is an ideal way to revamp your kitchen. This is particularly good for cooking spaces that look tired after years of use.

There are many worktop options if you are on a budget, the cheapest option being laminate. Not only is laminate cheap, but it is available in a variety of colours and styles, so there is something for all kitchen spaces. On average, laminate costs around £100 per 3-metre* section.

Alternatively, for a more natural look to your worktop opt for solid wood. While this is pricier than laminate at around £500 per 3 metres*, you can create curved edges which are perfect for breakfast bars.
