KML Worktops is a London-based specialist in natural and engineered stone, with over 20 years of supplying and installing White marble worktops across UK kitchens and bathrooms. We work exclusively with genuine natural marble, including Carrara, Calacatta Oro, Arabescato and Arabescato Nubelato, not the marble-effect laminate or printed surfaces sold by some large retailers.
Every slab is templated, cut and polished by our in-house fabrication team and installed by our own fitters, not subcontracted, so you get one point of contact from quote to finish. Our London showroom holds full slabs you can see and touch before you order.
Our collection of marble countertop work surfaces is ideally suited for everyday living. Imagine a kitchen that is bathed in light while providing the warmth of home by having natural, reflective surfaces on all the kitchen worktops. Whether you are remodelling an entire kitchen or just want to replace your existing countertops with something more modern or consistent with your design, our marble worktops offer a solution that is both practical and beautiful.
A lot of what’s sold as “white marble worktops” on the high street is actually laminate, compact laminate or printed vinyl with a marble-look pattern applied to the surface, durable and budget-friendly, but not real stone.
At KML Worktops, every white marble worktop we fabricate is cut from genuine natural marble slabs quarried from Italy and beyond. That means real depth to the veining, natural variation from slab to slab, and a cool, solid feel underhand that no printed surface can replicate. If budget is the main driver and you like the look rather than the material itself, marble-effect laminate or quartz is worth considering. We’re happy to advise either way. But if you want the real thing, this is what we specialise in.
Homeowners are starting to prefer marble worktops, considering the various benefits they offer. These kitchen worktops are made of natural marble stone and therefore appeal to a lot of people. The luxurious touch of marble, combined with its durability and timeless beauty, makes it a sought-after choice. Here are some of the advantages offered by marble countertops.
Sturdiness – Marble countertops offer extreme sturdiness because they are scratch-resistant and crack-resistant. These are also heat- resistant and stain-resistant if well taken care of.
Long Term Durability – Marble worktops offer long-term durability because they do not require polishing, unlike other varieties of countertops.
Naturally Cool – Marble is a naturally cool stone and hence an ideal worktop for baking purposes. When it comes to working on pastries, dough, chocolate or even ice cream, marble worktops are considered to be the best.
Timeless Elegance – Marble countertops tend to look beautiful even after many years of use. The beauty and warmth that these exuberate are unparalleled by any other variety.
Brightness – Marble reflects its natural glow and makes the kitchen shine at all times. It is especially helpful for smaller-sized kitchens and even bathrooms since it helps brighten up the space and makes it feel larger.
Easy Shaping – Marble is softer than granite and hence is easy to cut as well as shape. It allows for a larger variety of edge shapes such as bullnose, bevel, straight and stair thread.
One of the most popular edge profiles is the waterfall edge. The other alternative for a better feel in a countertop is laminate kitchen worktops in London. These are the latest entrants in the market as compared to the much older marble option.
Carrara Marble: Classic white with soft grey veins, ideal for modern kitchens. Perfect as a marble work surface that brightens your space.
Calacatta Marble: Bold veining on a pristine white base, creating a statement marble worktop for luxury kitchens.
Statuario Marble: Elegant white background with striking grey veins, ideal for traditional or contemporary marble countertops.
Not all white marble looks the same. Here are some of the varieties we regularly fabricate and fit:
Visit our showroom to see photographs of full slabs, they never quite capture how veining and depth look in person.
Polished: The most popular finish for marble. A glossy, reflective surface that makes the veining look its most vivid and brings out the stone’s natural luminosity.
Honed: A smooth, matte finish with no shine. Softer underhand and more forgiving of light scratching and etching marks than a polished surface, honed marble suits a more contemporary, understated look.
Our team can talk you through samples of both finishes side by side in the showroom.
White marble worktops in the UK typically start from £250 per m² for Carrara, rising to £350 per m² for premium Calacatta and Arabescato varieties. Marble pricing varies more than most materials, a classic Carrara costs noticeably less than a dramatic Calacatta Oro or Arabescato.

Marble worktops are one of the best choices for homeowners looking to add style and elegance to their homes. They offer a classic look and feel, and the functionality of a surface that can be used on a daily basis. We offer professional marble worktop installation in different thicknesses, with the option of honed or polished finishes, so you can choose what best fits your personal style.
Because marble is a natural stone that is porous, it is best to use marble in wet applications such as bathrooms, where moisture will not get trapped in the pores of the stone. Discolouration and staining will occur in kitchens if proper care is not taken. To avoid this issue, we recommend treating your marble worktop with a dry treatment, which provides protection while allowing for the natural beauty of the stone.
With our professional installation services, you can be confident that your marble work surfaces will not only enhance the appearance of your home for many years to come, but they will also provide value and elegance to your home.

Sealing is one of the first steps to preserve the look of your marble worktops and give them a long life. In addition, all spills and stains must be rid of right away using the right cleaners and tools. Regular ‘soap and water’ cleaning goes a long way in protecting your marble worktops.
Marble is a soft material that can easily scratched, chipped and scrapped under the critical conditions.
As a natural, dense, and hard stone surface, marble feels cool to touch. This is because heat dissipates through marble rapidly, making it colder and thus, a great choice of worktop material for warm climates.
Depending on the original rock that the marble worktop is sourced from, the texture and colour of the surface vary across a large spectrum. Additionally, some level of customization is available when choosing the texture of marble surfaces.
We offer both polished (glossy, reflective, the most popular choice) and honed (matte, smoother underhand, more forgiving of light marks) finishes. Our showroom team can show you samples of each so you can compare before deciding.
