Integrated Accessories
Practical stone details for modern kitchens, bathrooms and bespoke interiors
Stone surfaces often need to do more than simply look good. They may need to accommodate power, lighting, appliances and other practical features without interrupting the overall design. At Bath Granite & Marble, we fabricate stone worktops, splashbacks, wall panels and bespoke stone elements with integrated accessories that help a space work harder while still feeling clean, balanced and well finished.
From hob cut-outs and socket openings to pop-up power units, charging points and lighting grooves, these details need careful planning. The aim is not just to make them fit, but to make them feel properly considered within the wider design of the room.
Hob Cut Outs
Hob cut-outs are one of the most common fabrication details in a stone worktop, but they need to be handled carefully. The opening has to be accurate, properly positioned and well finished so the hob sits correctly and the surrounding stone feels balanced within the layout.
Whether the hob is gas, induction or electric, we fabricate the cut-out to suit the appliance and the design of the worktop. A good hob cut-out should feel clean, practical and fully integrated into the surface rather than simply inserted into it.
Wall Sockets
Integrated wall sockets can be incorporated into stone splashbacks, upstands and wall panels to give convenient access to power without disrupting the overall look of the space. They are especially useful in kitchens where appliances are used regularly and a neat finish matters.
The opening for the socket needs to be measured and positioned carefully so it works practically and still feels aligned with the wider design. When done well, the result is useful, discreet and visually tidy.
Pop-Up Sockets
Pop-up sockets are a discreet way to add power to islands, breakfast bars, desks and other stone surfaces where visible wall sockets are not the right solution. They stay hidden when not in use, helping the surface keep a cleaner and less interrupted look.
Because these fittings sit within the stone itself, the housing and position need to be planned carefully during fabrication. They are a good option for contemporary spaces that need flexible power access without losing visual simplicity.
Wireless Master Charging Points
Integrated wireless charging points allow compatible devices to charge through the stone surface without the charger being visible above. This can be a useful feature in kitchens, home bars, offices and other spaces where people want the convenience of charging without extra clutter.
To make this work properly, the stone and charging unit need to be considered together during fabrication. When handled well, the result feels subtle, modern and easy to live with.
Integrated Chargers and USB Points
For projects that need a more conventional charging solution, USB points and charging fittings can be incorporated into stone surfaces or adjoining panels. These details are useful where phones, tablets, speakers or small appliances need regular access to power.
The main goal is to make the charging point accessible without making the design feel busy or awkward. This is especially helpful in family kitchens, media spaces and bathroom vanity areas where practical use matters just as much as finish.
LED Lighting Groves
LED lighting grooves can be built into splashbacks, island overhangs, floating shelves and wall features to create a softer, more atmospheric layer of light. They are often used to highlight the texture, veining or shape of the stone while also adding practical illumination.
The groove itself needs to be positioned and finished carefully so the lighting detail feels intentional within the design. When done well, it can make the stone feel more architectural and bring extra depth to the finished space.
