Firstly what caused the wood to rot?
Also longer you leave it....by the time the laminate worktop showed signs of damage it had damaged the carcass too.
Can you remove the sink easily? Getting that out of the way will give you access to get power tools in to clean cut and the replace the wood.

Neglect. Yes - it should have been addressed earlier. This kind of work top isn't really suitable for the area surrounding a sink IMHO but there we go - we didn't install it.
Cutting the whole lot out would be simple even without removing the sink. The tricky bit - to me - is where to get a replacement section that I can splice in? Who sells random bits of worktop?

I need to fix this rotten portion of our kitchen.
yeah I know I still haven't done it.
Has anyone tried something like this, or have any views on this approach:
Remove the rotten wood (chisel?)
prep the 'good' wood that's now exposed for epoxy
re-build with epoxy and finish
paint
I don't want to replace the worktop, or even the rotten part. But I will if I can't avoid it.
