worktop

Looking to get our kitchen worktop to extend into the corner of the kitchen (see picture). The previous owner of the house had their fridge there, hence the gap. Would this be a case of replacing the whole length or could a place be added just to fit the corner. If you placed a piece just in...

Hello, I have a 2.4m stretch of 38mm laminate worktop that I want to support for a desktop.I want to batten the walls on 3 sides and place a leg in the middle. I have some 2x1s I'll be using for the battens, fixed to a brick wall. I'm trying to determine what length of screw to use. If I go...

Hi Guys, I am just wondering if anyone out there knows of any Granite or Quartz Kitchen Worktop Fitters in the area. Due to personal health issues, the majority of my kitchen refurb budget was spent on my health costs treatment. I still have some funds left, though, not enough for the...

Hi all, I want to cut a kitchen worktop down. I only have a jigsaw to do this with (i.e. no router - which I've read are the best things for the job). I've read that it's best to stick masking tape to the worktop and draw your line on the tape. My question is, what are the best blades for...

As you can see, my kitchen tiles run beneath the cabinets and also between them, by the oven area. Plus they run along the sink area.. I have cleaned and prepped the cabinets ready for priming with Zinsser BIN In a couple of weeks, I have a guy coming to take out the old tiles, put new subway...

I want to get a thin (5-15mm) slate worktop for my bathroom as the water what splashes up from my recessed sink is starting to ruin the top of the cabinets around my sink. I need it to be 1500mm x 460mm and want a smooth raw slate finish - a bit like slate roof tiles. Thus my questions are...

We're looking to replace our wooden kitchen sink worktop surround with a solid surface. Stone seems pricey to cut and fit but Max-top, a manufactured quartz worktop, keeps coming up but I can't find any reviews. It claims to be easy to install but has anyone used it and have any thoughts to share?

Hi, Just had a granite worktop put in the kitchen. Noticed that some oil left on the surface actually soaked in and left a mark (fortunately this bit was getting replaced anyway). But seems like I need some kind of stone sealer to prevent this happening in future. I've had a look online and...

Need to trim/ saw off end of counter top to be able to squeeze fridge in. See photos. Current gap is way too tight. Fridge is exactly 60cm across. Pushing fridge back more is not going to work; guy who fitted kitchen left gap way too tight. Kitchen was fitted for previous owner. Max possible saw...

I spilt a little super glue on my kitchen worktop now I think I've done more harm than good. Tried a bit of turps then putty scraper. Have I scraped the surface off this worktop or is it the glue blended in with the surface? I'm providing a photo. Any advice to restore this mess will be...

Hi. We are having our kitchen installed. The worktop was installed and we have noticed that 1 joint is almost perfect (smooth) but the other one when you touch it feels up and down (not a lot but about 1mm). Also looks like little chip at the end. Buidler said that this is a fault of the...

We are just about to purchase new worktop. We liked a colorado worktop at B&Q but I heard that duropal worktops are very good quality. Our local supplier said that they cost 250 pounds for 4m so twice as much as online. Unfortunately I cannot find any online companies with good reviews. If you...

We have a 40mm solid wood beech worktop fitted in our U-shaped kitchen. Two lengths and a third breakfast bar. The kitchen and wooden worktops were bought and delivered a year ago. Due to various reasons (including my own slow DIY skills) we have only now got to the point of fitting the...

Hi, I'm planning on replacing my kitchen counters with a solid walnut (stave) worktop and a new sink. I like the look of flush fitting sinks and my worktop supplier has said they can do CNC cutting for this kind of fitting but I'm worried that this type of fitting might not be suitable for...
