Trouble is, there is no slope on the grooves so water doesn't run away.
Instead it runs the other way, down the units and onto the floor.


Is the worktop at the drainer end supposed to be raised a little to allow
the drainage to work?

I've got normal laminate worktops, and put in one of those round bowl
stainless sinks with a drainer tray attached, went to great pains to get the
worktop installed nice and level, but the drainer part of the sink is
perfectly flat, so the water just sits in pools until it overflows all over
the worktop and onto the floor.

Only way to sort it is to raise the drainer side (or lower the sink side)
and as the sink material is thun, it'd have to be the worktop that has the
slope on it,
i guess it's my fault for buying a cheap **** sink, but it was the other
half who wanted this style and found the cheapest one she could, saying
'they are all the same, just different sellers rip you off more'
