Professional Marble Worker in Sri Lanka
Marble Worker in Sri Lanka â works with marble for floors, countertops, and decor.
Granite worktops in Sri Lanka cost about Rs 2,500 to Rs 4,500 per square foot installed, marble flooring Rs 1,400 to Rs 3,800, and granite flooring or steps Rs 1,100 to Rs 2,600.
Granite is the practical default for Sri Lankan kitchens. It resists heat and staining, takes daily use and is available locally in quantity. Marble is softer and more porous, etches on contact with lime juice, vinegar or tamarind, and needs sealing, so it belongs on floors and feature surfaces rather than a working kitchen counter.
Templating matters more than the rate: a stone top cut from a drawing rather than a site template is where expensive mistakes happen. Post the job on Snapwerks with your dimensions and stone fitters near you will quote per square foot.

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.
