Hello! I agree with stoneguy. I have had a Technistone quartz worktop for quite some time now (the one in the link), and I am pretty happy with it. It is resistant and doesn't require a lot of maintanance, at least not compared with my previous worktop, which was made of granite. As far as the price goes, I think £2600 is a pretty decent price, at least in my experience. Hope I helped! Greetings from Brighton :)
