Tiled can be cheap, tough, durable. Grout gets dirty if not treated.

Tiles can also be cheap, fragile, and end up cracked and chipped all
over the place! Chose your tiles carefully. Normal wall tiles don't
really hack it. Epoxied grout is probably a good bet as well.


I'm thinking the way to do this would be to fit the worktop, route for
the tile(s) aiming for a flush dry fit, treat with danish oil including
the tile recess, *then* fit the tile with a thin layer of epoxy glue and
epoxy grout. That way there would be no weak spots in the wood
protection right up on the edge of the tile's grout line. Sound convincing?
