We have flip-flopped over the past few months. Bathroom reno is on hold, kitchen is full steam ahead. I had originally wanted wooden worktops (affordable, look nice), but our builder (who has correctly pegged us as lazy homeowners who lack the discipline to maintain things) has suggested we reconsider.
I quite like the look of durat/poured concrete/recycled glass or plastic - the problem is that I can't find ballpark figures for any of these materials. We need 5-6m and I'm reluctant to pay more than £200/sqm. Am I delusional? I guess that price will only buy laminate or wood (or maybe concrete)?
Recommendations for cheap, ok-looking, maintenance-free worktops?
Eta - mistral (acrylic) looks ok too. I've found a semi-local company with ok prices. No idea how painful installation is, though.
