Laminate to go over sink

I truly feel totally stupid. All I want is a piece of laminate cut that matches my kitchen bench to go over sink. Please see photos & measurements.

I live in a small but cute little bungalow & every mm counts. I would like to use this piece of laminate as a chopping board. If anyone can help me with this, I would be incredibly grateful.

Hi @AmyL, can you please clarify what you query actually is? Do you want someone to supply and/or cut a pieace of laminate to that size for you?

Hey @AmyL,

I have a wooden "table" that does exactly this. Made out of 3 pieces of wood, one for the top, and two "legs" that run the length of the sides on the bottom. The "legs" are positioned so that it does not move when I put the table into the sink to use as a chopping board, and the added benefit is that I can also use it as a serving table if I need to.

I'll post a photo later.

I would recommend this sort of thing to everyone. I have no idea why they aren't common. I had mine made by a friend.

as @ProjectPete correctly says, are you asking for someone to make something for you?

That would be great if someone could cut a piece for me for $$

AmyL

Yes if someone could cut a piece of marble laminate to go over my kitchen bench that would be great. I would pay for it $$

Jason

Sounds like an easy job for @ProjectPete! 😄

Oh ok. I'm over in Perth so I unfortunately won't be able to help you out this time round.

Hi @AmyL,

This may be all too late but I have been in the kitchen renovation business 33 years and an Aussie bush engineer. A piece of laminate bench will be heavy, thick and have to be re-waterproofed regularly underneath in case you scratch the waterproofing otherwise it will swell up and end up in the bin.
A large piece of bamboo chopping board or less pretty acrylic chopping board from hospitality supply would be better. The bamboo could have a rail attached from and back the sit on the bench just outside the sink edges to be stable and to make it level as sitting on the sink drainer the fall to drain makes it not level.
If you purchased the oversized bamboo board and go visit a few of you local Joiners with it in hand, someone will do it for you on the spot. Don’t phone around first as the answer for this small job is likely to be no. If you turn up with beer in the car and ask nicely it is likely to be yes. Pick a local small outfit joinery.
Cheers

I was going to do a similar setup with a piece of pine so the electric frypan would sit level on the sink, I have a lot more choices of next indoor project now.
