I have a ruined wooded worktop where water from the sink has rotted the wood. As a short term bodge I am thinking of insetting a single 1200x600 tile, which would fit perfecty. The idea would be to use a router to create a tight fitting recess such that the tile lies flush with the rest of the worktop.
I will need to cut a shape in the tile for the drop in sink, with pretty tight tolerances. I'll also need to mount a through-worktop mixer tap.
What I don't know:
What adhesive to use under the tile.
What sealant to use around the edges of the tile
How to cut the hole for the sink
How to mount the tap tightly enough without cracking the tile
Other things only an expert would know!
I realise I should really rip out the whole worktop, but in fact there's another 4m of lovely maple that I don't want to lose.
Can anyone advise?
