How Much Does a Table Tennis Table Cost in the UK?

How much does a good ping pong table cost? For home indoor play, UK shop listings put a decent full-size table at about £250 to £700, with cheap folding tables from about £150. At Premium Pool Tables, the range runs from £1,825 to £4,270, because those tables are heavier, outdoor-rated or competition-grade.

That is the short answer. If it's all you needed, you can stop here. If you're deciding between a £400 table and a £2,380 one, the rest of this guide shows what the gap buys.

How much does a good ping pong table cost?

Usually £250 to £700 for a full-size table you will use at home. A "good" table here means a flat top, a stable frame and a folding system you can work alone.

A Google UK shopping result for this search, captured on 18 October 2026, lists retailer prices. Of 27 full-size listings, 7 cost under £250, 15 cost £250 to £699 and 5 cost £700 or more. The median was £399.99 and the dearest was £1,199.

The three tables labelled ITTF in their listing titles cost £599.99, £799 and £1,025. Those are listed prices, not a survey of the whole market, so treat them as a snapshot.

Spend more if you play often, or if your table will live outside. Spend less if you'll fold it away most days.

How much is a standard table tennis table?

A standard table is the same size at every price. The Laws of Table Tennis set it at 2.74m long and 1.525m wide, with the playing surface 76cm above the floor.

The Laws also expect a uniform bounce of about 23cm when a standard ball is dropped from 30cm. A cheap table can match the dimensions and still miss that bounce.

So "standard" tells you the size, not the quality. Here is what you'll see listed at each level, from the same snapshot:

The groups are small, so the medians are a guide only.

How much does a table tennis set cost?

About £155 to £165 for a folding table with a net, two bats and balls. Two listings in the same snapshot were sold that way, at £154.84 and £162.99.

A set is the cheapest way to start playing. Check what you're getting, though, since the listings give no top thickness or frame detail.

Premium Pool Tables sells the table and the accessories separately. Its Heemskerk 1900 includes a net, but bats and balls are listed as separate accessories.

Why are ping pong tables so expensive?

Mostly because the expensive ones are built like furniture, not toys. If you want a table that stays outside, or holds a competition bounce, you are paying for tougher materials and a heavier frame.

Take two tables from the table tennis tables collection. The Heemskerk 1900 outdoor is £1,945. It has a 4mm ACP top, folds, weighs 68kg and is designed for outdoor use.

The Heemskerk Novi 2400 is £2,380. It is an indoor table with 25mm tops, a wooden edge frame and ITTF approval, and it weighs 135kg.

The £435 gap pays for the thicker top and the approval. Whether you need either depends on how seriously you play. For family games, you may not.

Weight adds cost too, so ask about it before you order. The Heemskerk Beta is concrete and galvanised steel and weighs 1,100kg. The manufacturer describes crane-equipped delivery, so delivery is a real part of the price.

What is the most expensive table tennis table?

At Premium Pool Tables, the Heemskerk Beta at £4,270. It is built for schools, parks and public spaces, so you wouldn't choose it for a garden.

The next dearest are the Heemskerk Tango at £3,785 and the Heemskerk Office 3000 & 3500 at £3,480. The Office is a meeting table that doubles as a table tennis table.

The 11 tables on the collection page cost £1,825 to £4,270, with a median of £2,380. Prices include VAT. If you only want a home indoor table, your choice here is narrow.

No verified UK price ceiling for the whole market turned up, so this is the top of one range, not of all tables.

Delivery to you is free in mainland England and Wales unless a product page says otherwise. Scotland, Northern Ireland and offshore areas are quoted separately, as set out in the delivery and installation terms.

How much is a used ping pong table worth?

There is no reliable current UK price for used tables, so none is quoted here. If a seller gives you a figure, you'll have no verified benchmark to check it against.

What the weights tell you is that moving one is a job. The Novi 2400 weighs 135kg, so you'll need helpers and a vehicle, and you should count that against any saving.

One third-party observation is worth having. A club member posting in a 2017 table tennis forum thread said their older, heavy club table had lasted by having its top replaced every few years. That is one poster at one club, not a pattern.

If you buy used, check that the top is flat, look at the legs and net fittings, and ask the seller to let you test the bounce.

When is a cheaper table the better buy?

When you play a few times a month, when you'll fold the table away most days, or when you're not sure the habit will stick. A table around £400 can be enough for family games.

This is where Premium Pool Tables is not the cheapest route. Its cheapest table is £1,825, more than four times the £399.99 median in the shopping listings. If budget is your main limit, you are better off with a mid-priced folding table from another seller.

This range makes sense if you want a table that stays outside all year, a competition-grade top, or a fixed table for a school, club or venue.

So how much should you budget?

For a home indoor table you'll use often, plan on £400 to £700. For an outdoor table, the shop listings had a median of £549, and the heavier tables sold here start above £1,900.

Add a cover if your table sits outdoors. No verified price for covers turned up, so ask before you buy.
