Hourly Rates
Project Costs
Indicative 2026 rates for Colombo and the suburbs, based on Snapwerks quotes and published Sri Lankan market data. Outstation districts usually run 10-20% lower on labour. Expect the top of each range during the Avurudu rush in March and April and at the start of the monsoon. Always get the scope and the price in writing before work starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much does a granite countertop cost in Sri Lanka?
Roughly Rs 2,500 to Rs 4,500 per square foot installed, depending on the slab, thickness and edge profile. For a 12 ft kitchen run with a 2 ft deep counter, that is about Rs 60,000 to Rs 110,000. Sink cut-outs and profiled edges are usually charged separately at Rs 6,500 to Rs 22,000 each.
2. Is marble or granite better for a kitchen counter?
Granite, in almost every Sri Lankan kitchen. Marble is softer and porous: lime juice, vinegar and tamarind etch it, and it needs periodic sealing. Marble is a fine choice for floors, stair treads and feature surfaces where it will not meet acids daily.
3. What does marble flooring cost per square foot?
Marble flooring costs about Rs 1,400 to Rs 3,800 per square foot supplied and laid, depending on origin, thickness and finish. Granite flooring is cheaper at Rs 1,100 to Rs 2,600, and cast terrazzo cheaper still at Rs 550 to Rs 1,400.
4. Can old marble or granite be restored?
Yes. Grinding, honing and polishing existing stone costs about Rs 180 to Rs 550 per square foot and will remove light scratches, etching and dullness. It is far cheaper than replacement and works well on older terrazzo and marble floors common in Sri Lankan houses.
5. Why does the fitter need to template on site?
Because walls are rarely square and stone cannot be corrected once cut. A site template taken after the cupboards are installed, at Rs 3,500 to Rs 9,000, prevents gaps at the wall and mismatched joints. Quotes based only on a drawing carry that risk to you.
