how to cast concrete counter tops. A very informative read if
the OP wants to consider that route.

What happens to concrete (or marble) if you spill acid on it, like
vinegar, citric fruit juice, etc.

Like Grunff(?) said modern laminate worktops are pretty tough and hard
wearing for most purposes but won't stand up to being around a belfast
sink. Refinish the existing worktop and possibly replace the section
around the sink, though you may find it will clean up.

I can't decide if it's better to apply some really tough varnish to
the area around the sink or to leave it natural or just oiled. Once
the finish gets damaged any mositure will be trapped and go manky.
With a natural or oiled wood it'll dry out.

Granite would be suitable but that may well fall into the "How much!"
category and is HEAVY additional or upgraded suppurt maybe required.
