The top to be replaced is tiled. So I'd guess the same applies. Can't
really see any difference if the laminate is well glued together.

I did just this in my bathroom. Used the same engineered oak for flooring
and what I suppose you'd call a vanitory unit worktop, with inset basin.
Despite getting regularly wet, it has survived very well. Still with the
original finish (as has the floor) which is some sort of varnish.
