This article was updated using automation technology and thoroughly reviewed for accuracy by HomeAdvisor Editor Ryan Noonan.

Installing Corian countertops costs between $2,200 and $5,000, with most homeowners investing around $3,950. Key factors influencing the price include the size and shape of your countertops, the selected Corian style, and local labor fees. Corian countertops offer an exceptional combination of durability, style, and affordability for your kitchen or bathroom. Hiring a countertop installer specializing in Corian ensures proper installation and helps avoid costly mistakes.

Corian Cost Factors

The cost of Corian countertops varies depending on several factors, including their color, style, thickness, and labor requirements.

Color

The cost of Corian per square foot varies depending on the color selected. More popular or unique colors cost more due to higher demand or production costs. Understanding how color choices affect pricing helps you select options that fit your budget.

Style

Corian Countertops are available in various colors and thicknesses. The exact pricing of each style varies depending on the retailer. On average, most brands range between $26 and $65 per square foot.

Thickness

The thickness of Corian countertops ranges from 1/4 to 3/4 inches. The thicker the countertop, the more expensive and durable it will be. Before installation, talk with your local countertop professional to determine which thickness is best for your needs.

Labor

The cost of installing Corian countertops depends on factors such as your contractor's rates, the size and shape of your counters, and your location. Labor costs average $75 per hour or approximately $50 to $80 per square —for example, a typical six-hour installation results in labor costs of around $450.

When working with a local countertop contractor, request a detailed breakdown of the installation process and all associated costs before approving the project. Installation teams often consist of two to three workers.

Disposal fees for old countertops average between $50 and $350, and many installers include removal fees in the overall installation cost.

Refinishing

Refinishing Corian countertops requires buffing out damage, such as scratches and cuts, with sandpaper and filling it with color-matched or clear epoxy. Professional Corian refinishing costs range between $200 and $500, depending on the surface area requiring repair.

Maintenance

Because Corian surfaces are water-resistant and non-porous, they do not require a sealant, reducing recurring maintenance costs. To maintain their appearance, clean Corian countertops with an ammonia-based household or countertop cleaner, which is readily available at most supermarkets. Avoid using window cleaners, as they can leave a waxy buildup that diminishes the countertop's sheen.

Warranties

Warranty coverage for Corian surfaces varies by manufacturer. For example, DuPont offers a 10-year limited warranty on its products. You often need to register your purchase with the manufacturer to validate the warranty. Your countertop installer should also provide a warranty on their labor in case of any issues with the finished product. It is important to understand the specific terms of the manufacturer's and installer's warranties.

Manufacturer warranties generally cover defects but do not cover damage resulting from certain causes.

Corian vs. Other Countertop Materials

Corian countertops offer a balance of affordability and durability but vary in price compared to materials like granite and quartz. Understanding how Corian compares to other countertop materials helps you make the best decision for your home.

Granite

The cost of granite countertops is often higher than that of Corian. Corian countertops cost $26 to $65 per square foot, while granite countertops cost $40 to $60 per square foot. Granite offers natural stone beauty and durability but at a higher price point.

Quartz

Quartz countertops are also more expensive than Corian. While Corian costs between $26 and $65 per square foot, quartz countertops range between $50 and $100 per square foot. Quartz offers excellent durability and a wide range of colors and patterns but is less cost-effective than Corian.
