Most solid surface countertops cost between $2,065 and $5,690, with an average price of $3,756, including materials and installation. Several factors influence the cost of solid surface countertops, such as the type of material, edge styles, and additional features like integrated sinks or backsplashes. Solid surface countertops are affordable and resemble natural stone, making them a popular choice for many homeowners. Planning your budget and hiring a countertop installation professional ensures a successful installation and lasting durability.

Solid Surface Countertop Cost Factors

Several factors can impact the cost of solid surface countertop installation, from the type of edges on the counters to add-ons like integrated sinks and backsplashes for an attractive, seamless design.

Size

Solid surface countertops cost between $50 and $150 per square foot, including installation and materials. In bathrooms with approximately 10 square feet of countertop space, you'll spend about $500 to $1,500 (excluding integrated sinks or backsplashes). The average kitchen requires around 30 square feet of countertops, costing between $1,500 and $4,500.

Edges

You can enhance the look of your solid surface countertops with various edging options, ranging from $10 to $35 per linear foot. Consider a simple bevel edge for a modern touch at $10 to $12 per linear foot. If you're aiming for a traditional style, an ornate French Cove edge at $30 to $35 per linear foot adds elegance. Other options like Ogee, Dupont, Mitre, or Quirk edges offer decorative flair at $20 to $25 per linear foot.

Materials

Solid surface countertops range in cost based on the material, with basic options starting at $20 per square foot and premium countertops costing up to $80 per square foot.

You can personalize your solid surface countertops with various colors, though some options may cost more due to exclusive signature colorways offered by different brands. Several top brands specialize in solid surface countertops, each offering unique colors, finishes, and material formulations to suit your style.

Type

Solid surface countertops come in two main types: acrylic and polyester. Acrylic countertops are more durable but offer fewer color options and can make it harder to achieve a glossy finish. Polyester countertops, while slightly less durable, provide more vibrant color choices and a higher gloss. Both materials are similarly priced, although polyester can cost slightly less.

Labor

Labor costs for installing solid surface countertops range from $40 to $70 per square foot. This estimate includes removing your old countertops and installing the new ones.

Integral Sinks

When installing solid-surface countertops, you can add integral sinks for an additional $100 to $300 each. Remember, like solid-surface countertops, these acrylic sinks cannot handle high heat, so they might be best for bathrooms rather than kitchens.

Integral Backsplash

Solid-surface countertops offer a seamless look to any bathroom or kitchen, and luckily, you can also use this material as a backsplash. Integral backsplash is particularly popular in bathrooms for aesthetics and as an easy-to-clean backsplash and counter combination. A solid-surface backsplash costs $3 to $5 per linear foot.

Budgeting for Solid Surface Countertops

To save on your solid surface countertop installation, consider the following tips:

• Stick with a basic edge instead of custom designs.

• Choose polyester over acrylic to reduce material costs.

• Opt for standard colors rather than pricier signature options.

• Simplify your project by skipping extra features like integrated sinks or backsplashes.

• Get quotes from several local solid surface countertop contractors to find the best deal in your area.
