Cut an laminate MDF splashback with holes cut for sockets.
What is the best way to seal the cut surfaces please?
MDF undercoat and topcoat; seems a lot?
Varnish?
PVA and something?

How about plastic surrounds for the sockets?
You remove the socket faceplate, put the plastic surround, (guard), in position and secure it with the socket faceplate. I assume the sockets are not so close to a water source that they will come into too much contact with water?
 
Worth a thought certainly.
Had considered using 10mm extenders to bring the socket level with the laminate.
 
Sockets need to sit on top of splashback. You could apply clear silicon around any cuts .
Just needs long screws for sockets .
