Well varnished to match the woodwork in the kitchen and with a nice

If you did not want the extra height you could do the same but route a
rebate into the existing worktop to accept the thickness of the new
plinth.

Hadn't really thought of that idea, but it sounds reasonably feasible.

Except that I don't think there's enough gap at the back of the
worktop to do the rebate in-situ. And it's a 4m worktop conveniently
held in place by tile on 3 sides and a worktop joint at one end - not
so easy to whip it out and put it back.

She's home now. Not very happy.....

There's no real reason to rebate the back for a solution that's only going
to last until you can replace the worktop and do job properly. You might
have difficulty rebating the sides to get into the back corners, but then
that's the time when the sharp chisels come out and you finish it off by
hand.

Of course, if you hadn't bought such a big router in the first place you'd
get a lot closer... ;-)
