Thanks chippy5 - I did buy through Howdens - what would they normally do in this situation if it's a fault in the material? would they send out a free worktop or would they send someone out to replace the worktop?

Looks like I hadn't attached the photo; here it is below:

Attached is a photo but it's difficult to see - the bubbling runs for perhaps 4 inches and is around 2mm high on the right side of the joint (The left side worktop strangely hasn't bubbled at all - I guess that side is sealed properly) I've now put silicone over the join to try to stop it...

The fitter said he used the joining compound that Howdens provided with the worktops plus silicone but no PVA. He said he could fix it by replacing the worktop but I would have to pay for a new worktop and pay him for a days work :( He also said if he replaced the worktop he would use PVA to...

Thinking about it the joint probably starts around 2in away from the sink then goes diagonally away ending around 24in away from the sink. Is that too close to the sink?

Hi :) The joint is near to the sink, maybe 30cm away. The joint probably does get splashed quite a lot but water doesn't remain for any length of time

Hi, I've recently had a new kitchen installed but found after two months the new laminate worktops have started to bubble around a joint, which I guess is down to moisture getting into the joint. The fitter has said worktop joints aren't completely waterproof and I must have left standing...
