Captain_Badger Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I have a 2006 Liverpool boat. The galley worktop has started to crack in several places and I want to replace it. I'm sure I have seen the same worktop in other boats and was wondering if anyone recognises it? I was hoping to find one and just drop it in, rather than have one made for me.

nbfiresprite Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Liverpool had them manufactured to their own requirements by a worktop and kitchen cabinet manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard T Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 It looks like Corian or a similar product. Make a template and take it to a kitchen fitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Badger Posted November 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Ok thanks. Looks like I'm getting one made then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Badger Posted November 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Looks interesting. 20 minutes drive from here too. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celiaken Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 The company produced tops for our galley and bathroom, sinks moulded from same material so no seams or joints. they produced wall tiles as well to match. Very pleased with the outcome. they even left us with a small panel to use to repair any damage in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendorr Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Could yours not be repaired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Badger Posted November 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I doubt it very much. It is a laminated worktop and there are a number of cracks in the surface radiating out from cut outs like the sink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizzard Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I'd get them to round off that nasty sharp corner in the first pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Badger Posted November 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Well that is a possibility. Not that sharp in reality though and neither of us have hurt ourselves on it in the years we have had it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEngo Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 If your existing work top is cracking it is insufficiently supported IMHO. Corian requires even more support than 38mm chipboard so do have a good look at extra support before you spend serious dosh on a solid surface product.

celiaken Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 At my request, the baseboard was marine plywood rather than mdf or chipboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only 12mm then it’ll move around unless well supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
