  • While we're on the kitchen chat. Has anyone owned a decent white work surface for a decent period of time (at least >3yrs)?

    How has it held up?

    We have white quartz from these lads in Plumstead http://www.superior-stonesolutions.co.uk. Had it about 4.5 yrs.
    It was a 8/10 cutting and fitting job, but the slab itself has held up really nicely.
    Almost anything buffs out with a bit of that old school kinda grainy/abrasive Cif stuff.

    Only issue we have is that my belt is at the same height as the vertical face of the slab and so there are lots of black scuffs and scratches that we need to periodically tend to.

  • It is three pieces and the joining and filling is a bit scabby.
    They cut and finished the three pieces on site and finished it freehand, so the drainer grooves to the right of the sink are uneven and the beveling on the vertical face is not uniform.

    I'm being pernickety, so maybe 8.5 out of 10.

    They also did all their cuttings in the street and covered my and my neighbour's cars in thick thick white stone dust. I had to pay for cars to get washed in an act of neighbourhood penance. Caused us a bit of grief with one neighbour whose soft top is still a shade of grey when it should be black because of the layer of stone dust that settled into the fabric.
