New Heads Worktop

[sfellows]

I'm considering replacing the Heads Worktop when I replace the taps and bowl as whilst the current worksurface is OK (ish) I think a more modern look would be better AND it would be easier to replace the taps and bowl.

Any suggestions on
a) the material (I would like a solid "stone" finish rather than laminates)
b) a company that can produce a bespoke worktop to fit (bowl cutout, tap cutout etc.)?

Corian is probably the stuff but very expensive. There may be cheaper alternatives these days, not a topic I have been following.

Chat to a bespoke or semi-bespoke kitchen installer. They may have an offcut that would do the job.

Are you local to me? I know a Corian installer with experience of boats...

Cheap and easy is the food grade plastic sheet, but it will score if attacked. There are also plastic toilet/showerlining products.
get some idea here:
Products – Penryn Plastics

of course you could go for plasma cut SS

Another material is Hanex (competitor to Corian). Plenty of kitchen installers around who will custom cut a piece for you.

I fitted a corian worktop in both heads & galley about 10 years ago - one of my very few excellent decisions

We have corian in bathroom at home -not perhaps same conditions but after 10plus years it’s fine with it’s inset bowl on board our wash bowl sits on a wooden surface though happily.
