Worktop installation and replacement

The worktop is the place in a kitchen where poor installation shows first — an uneven edge, a joint that lets water through, a cut-out around the sink that never quite fits. We install and replace worktops in laminated and veneered chipboard, solid wood, compact laminate and artificial stone. The worktop can be replaced without disassembling the whole kitchen.

New worktop. New look. No renovation.

Price depends on the material and dimensions

  • Precise cut-out routing

    For the hob and the sink — cut to size, sealed edges.

  • Invisible joints

    Hidden connectors without a visible seam on the worktop surface.

  • Without disassembling the kitchen

    We replace just the worktop — the kitchen stays in place.

A worktop that will not swell in half a year

The worktop is the most stressed part of the kitchen. A bad cut-out shows within a year — swelling around the sink, a crack at the hob. With us it does not happen.

Why trust the worktop to us

  • Precise cut-out routing

    Hob and sink to the millimetre. Sealed edges — no swelling around the sink.

  • Invisible joints

    Hidden connectors without a visible seam on the surface. Two worktop sections look like one.

  • Without disassembling the kitchen

    We replace just the worktop. The old kitchen gets a new look at a fraction of the cost of a renovation.

  • 5 materials, one responsibility

    Laminate, veneer, solid wood, compact, artificial stone. We recommend what suits your use.

From worktop measurement to handover

How it works

  • Step

    Worktop measurement

    We measure the existing or new worktop, choose the material and agree how appliances will be mounted — over the worktop, flush-mounted or undermount.

  • Step

    Cut-out routing

    Cut-outs for the hob and sink are routed exactly to the appliance dimensions and with regard to the chosen material. Every cut is sealed.

  • Step

    Installation and joining of sections

    If the worktop comes in two parts, we make a routed joint or an invisible joint with hidden connectors — without a visible seam on the surface.

  • Step

    Sink fitting and connection

    We fit the sink in the chosen way and connect it to water and drainage. A separate plumber is not needed.

  • Step

    Sealing of edges and joints

    All cuts and joints are treated in a material-appropriate way — impregnation for wood, a silicone joint in the wet zone, an ABS edge where needed.

  • Step

    Check and handover

    We check the worktop level, the tightness of all connections and the drain function.

We prepare the quote within 24 hours.

Material matters

A worktop can be made of laminate, veneer, solid wood, compact laminate or artificial stone — and each of these materials behaves differently, is cut differently and reacts differently to moisture. That is why we treat each one differently.

Routing by material

We route cut-outs for the hob and sink with regard to what the worktop is made of. For laminate and compact, clean burr-free cut edges are crucial for subsequent sealing.

For solid wood we respect the grain direction so the material does not tear. For artificial stone we cut with a cooled tool — heating leads to micro-cracks.

Where one material forgives an imprecision, another cracks or starts swelling within a year. A poorly made cut-out shows within a year — and by then it cannot be repaired.

What we leave behind

A finished worktop with treated edges, invisible joints and functional connections for the sink and dishwasher.

  • Routed cut-outs for the hob and sink to the millimetre
  • Routed or invisible joints between sections — without a visible seam
  • Sink connected to water and drainage — a separate plumber is not needed

After completion we check the worktop level, the tightness of all connections and the drain function.

The worktop can be replaced without disassembling the whole kitchen — a new look at a fraction of the cost of a renovation.

FAQ

In most cases yes. The old worktop is removed, the space is re-measured, a new one is made to size and fitted — cabinets stay in place. The old kitchen gets a completely new look at a fraction of the cost of a full renovation.

The exception is when the worktop is structurally bonded to the cabinets (glued joint, built-in lock) — we assess this on site before the quote.

The price depends mainly on the material and dimensions of the worktop:

  • Laminated chipboard — the most affordable option
  • Veneered chipboard and solid wood — higher material cost
  • Compact laminate — premium for durability
  • Artificial stone — highest price, premium look

We prepare a specific quote after measurement and material choice — in writing and at a fixed price.

The typical timeline:

  • Measurement and consultation — 60 minutes on site
  • Worktop production — 5–10 working days depending on the material
  • Installation — 1 working day (larger island setups 2 days)

In total, from request to a finished worktop, usually 2–3 weeks.

There is no „best“ in general — it depends on use, budget and aesthetics:

  • Laminate — for an ordinary household on a reasonable budget
  • Compact laminate — for heavy use, a household with children
  • Solid wood — for character, willing to invest in maintenance
  • Artificial stone — premium aesthetic brief, monolithic surface

During the consultation we recommend what suits your way of using the kitchen — not what has the highest margin.

A way of fitting the hob or sink so that the appliance and worktop form one plane — no edge protrudes from the surface. Visually the cleanest solution, easier to wipe.

It requires precise routing and a compatible appliance (cannot be done with any hob). Particularly suitable for compact laminate and artificial stone.

Yes, technically it is called undermount — the appliance (typically the sink) is fixed from below, only the worktop is visible from above. Visually the cleanest.

It is possible only with selected materials (compact laminate, artificial stone — never laminated chipboard) and with compatible appliance models. If your material or sink is not built for it, we say so directly.

Yes, we use two methods:

  • Routed joint — with precise edge fit and sealing. The seam is visible as a thin line.
  • Invisible joint — with hidden connectors, without a visible seam on the surface. Usable mainly for laminate and compact laminate.

For artificial stone we make a glued joint that is sanded down after curing — the result is almost monolithic.

Yes. Island worktops, bar extensions, rounded edges, cut-outs for island sinks — all possible. For non-standard shapes it is important that we measure on site and make a template.

The consequences are material-specific and very real:

  • Laminate: an unsealed edge by the sink starts to swell within 6 months — that is why we seal every cut
  • Solid wood: cracks along the grain — that is why we route with regard to grain orientation
  • Artificial stone: micro-cracks from a hot tool — that is why we cut with a cooled tool

A bad cut-out cannot be repaired — that is why we measure twice and route once.

Solid wood is a living material — it needs regular care but in return lasts decades and the surface can be restored by sanding. Recommendations:

  • Oiling twice a year (more in the wet zone by the sink)
  • A dry cloth across the entire surface after oiling
  • Water stains addressed immediately — solid wood reacts to moisture
  • After several years, sand down and re-treat

Yes — the worktop is independent. We measure, manufacture and fit it into any existing kitchen, regardless of who made the cabinets.
