I'd like to brighten the kitchen up somewhat, and painting the

reluctant to replace the worktop right now, as it will be a pig of a
job - the kitchen's walls are not square, they've been tiled to the
level of the worktop, and it seems pretty much structurally essential
to the lower cabinets.


Don't do it. Nothing you can do will look good /and/ last more than a
couple of weeks. Nothing. Honest.

Three choices: live with it, replace the worktops or tile the worktops
in situ.

But remember that tiles are unforgiving, drop ceramic or glass on it and it
doesn't have much chance.
