We are having the kitchen redone and we are planning to go with the Burford Shaker option from Howdens. I just love this butler sink and wood work surface photo, it's gorgeous, but I know wood work surfaces are a horror, particularly around butlers sinks. Is there a different option, bamboo maybe? Or even a high end laminate? Otherwise I'm thinking could I use a different material just around the sink 🤔 Problem would be that that material would then have to be joined and there would still be scope for liquid to seep in.
