The Best and Cheapest Countertops in Roodepoort: What Locals Are Choosing

How DRT Laminating is helping Roodepoort homeowners and installers get the most value for their kitchen spaces.


When it comes to kitchen renovations in Roodepoort, choosing the right countertop isn’t just about looks—it’s about getting the best value for your money. And that’s exactly what Raymond Coetzee and the team at DRT Laminating have been helping clients do for over a decade.

From budget-conscious homeowners to full-scale shopfitters in need of bulk solutions, DRT Laminating is changing the way people think about countertops—by offering locally manufactured quality at fair prices. The sweet spot? Between R900 and R1999, depending on what you're after.

What’s the best countertop for your money in Roodepoort?

According to Raymond, one product keeps coming up in client conversations: 32mm Formica postform tops. “In terms of durability, style options, and maintenance, Formica delivers on all fronts,” he says. “You get the rich look of stone or wood, without the massive cost—and you don’t sacrifice resilience.”

Postform tops (especially in bullnose and squareline finishes) offer a strong balance between form and function. For Roodepoort kitchens—where heat, moisture, and busy family life put materials to the test—these countertops are a smart pick.

The cheapest countertop option in Roodepoort that doesn’t compromise

For clients working with tighter budgets, DRT’s flat-pressed tops come in as a top recommendation. These are ideal for rental properties, budget kitchen revamps, or commercial installations where cost-efficiency is key. Prices start as low as R900, and they still offer a sleek, modern finish.

“We've had clients in Roodepoort looking to revamp old flats for student housing,” Raymond explains. “They wanted something clean, presentable, and affordable. Our flat-pressed tops were perfect—and they held up even better than expected.”

Why Roodepoort is loving locally manufactured countertops

DRT Laminating’s edge in Roodepoort isn’t just pricing—it’s access. All countertops are custom-cut and manufactured in nearby Johannesburg South, which means faster turnaround times, lower delivery costs, and better service.

“Roodepoort clients don’t want to wait three weeks for imported slabs. We get them quality tops in days, not weeks,” says Raymond.

DRT’s range includes:

  • Durable Formica in woodgrain and marble-look finishes
  • Custom lengths and widths tailored to your space
  • Matching kickplates and pressed board options for complete kitchen solutions
