My new kitchen worktops arrive tomorrow with the butt and scribe joints
already cut.

Should I use waterproof ResinW between the pieces (they are standard 40mm
Formica laminate) or is there a special product for this to get a better
joint or colour match ?

Was this specail order? Is this now common? Can you specify left or right,
etc. Who does this?

I just gave them a diagram of what I wanted and they did the rest. Both
local suppliers do it, about £20 per joint.

See

Ideally you should use clamps to hold the two parts together, and biscuits to
keep the two halves at the same level.

You can get worktops with precut joints from Homebase.

B&Q sell stuff called "colourfill" which seems to be coloured car body
filler, or something like it. You can match the colour reasonably well
to most worktops & it waterproofs the joint as well as filling any small
imperfections.

I've got mine on order from Stantons of Weybridge: they do scribe
joints, curved end breakfast bar tops and a number of other options,
and have hundreds of colour choices. They won't do the cutouts for
hobs and sinks unless you are collecting because of the risk of
damage in transit.
