“How much does a marble countertop cost?” is the first question most Hong Kong homeowners ask — and there is no fixed price list. Quotes depend on the stone variety, dimensions, thickness, fabrication and site conditions. This guide explains how marble worktops are priced locally, the 2026 reference tiers, and the factors that move the price, so you can compare quotes like an insider.
Per running foot: the standard for Hong Kong kitchen worktops, charged along the front edge at a standard depth of about 24–26 inches; extra depth, widening or irregular shapes are added separately.
Per square foot: common for floors, wall cladding and feature walls, calculated as length × width — always confirm veining direction and wastage.
Turnkey quote: material, cut-outs, edge profiling, transport and installation in one figure, most common for small residential projects and the easiest total price to compare.
1. Variety & origin: entry-level Carrara and premium Calacatta or Statuario veins can differ several-fold per foot.
2. Thickness: tops are typically 20mm, thickened to 30–40mm for upstands and skirted edges, adding material and labour.
3. Slab grade: the same quarry is graded by veining, ground tone, resin repairs and fissures — higher grades cost more.
4. Fabrication: straight, bevel, ogee or Roman edges, plus cut-outs, 45° mitres and waterjet medallions are charged item by item.
5. Vein matching: book-matched or aligned layouts raise slab wastage and labour.
6. Site conditions: lift access, hoisting, night works and old-top disposal all feed into the final quote.
Think in tiers rather than fixed numbers: entry varieties such as Carrara and common domestic whites sit in the first tier; standard Italian varieties in the second; premium veins such as Calacatta and Statuario in the top tier — per-running-foot prices can differ several times between tiers.
Indicative order-of-magnitude reference only. Actual prices depend on thickness, slab grade, edges, cut-outs and site conditions; the formal quote always follows an on-site measurement.
Prepare the kitchen drawing or site dimensions, noting sink and hob models so cut-outs and support can be calculated.
Book a complimentary on-site measurement: only a re-measure on site captures true material use, joint positions and the access route.
Ask for an itemised written quote covering material, fabrication, transport and installation, and watch for hidden charges.
Compare 2–3 suppliers, checking past projects, workshop scale and after-sales terms.
Marble is a calcium-based stone that may need resealing and polishing over the years. An unusually low quote may reflect thinner stock, lower slab grade or weaker installation. Compare total cost of ownership — protection, maintenance and repairs included — rather than unit price alone.
Not necessarily. Entry marble such as Carrara can be close to good-quality quartz; premium marble veins are clearly pricier. Marble also needs periodic maintenance while quartz is virtually maintenance-free, so factor total cost of ownership into the comparison.
Practices differ, so always ask. A “material-only” price often excludes measurement, cut-outs, installation, hoisting and disposal. HENGSHENG quotes itemise material, fabrication, transport and installation, with free on-site measurement in urban Hong Kong.
A preliminary quote usually takes 1–2 working days from your drawings; the confirmed price follows 2–3 days after site measurement and final selection of pattern and edge. Ready-stock patterns typically install in 2–3 weeks; special patterns around 3–5 weeks.
