Repairing a water damaged wooden worktop

Restoring a water damaged wooden countertop

Restoring a water-damaged wooden worktop (countertop) can be a challenging task, and my beautiful Belfast sink was becoming an eyesore due to the dark stained wooden draining board. No matter how hard I tried to bleach it, scrub it, sand it or polish it, the stain didn’t budge and I became more and more fixated on getting rid of the black stains around the taps and draining board areas.

THE PROBLEM

Google is often the answer to my problems, and we followed a U Tube tutorial that involved sanding down and re-staining the badly affected areas. The black stains were stubborn and our efforts didn’t add up to any significant improvement. We also investigated the possibility of replacing the affected sections by hiring a professional carpenter. However, it would of meant them remaking a whole new draining board and removing the tiles on the splashback – so a lot of upheaval and expense which I wasn’t really looking for.

My friend recommended we try Plastic Surgeon – and my worktop has now been restored to its original look and the black, unsightly stains have virtually disappeared.

“Water damage, burns, scratches and cracks are all easy damage to have with a wooden worktop but don’t worry – there’s no need to replace it”

THE SOLUTION

I was very impressed by the work carried out by the polite workman – he took a few hours to work on the wood and the results are outstanding – I can show off my kitchen again with pride and the wood has been restored to its former glory.
