Upgrading your kitchen worktops is one of the most effective ways to refresh the look and feel of your kitchen space. Whether you’ve chosen stone, solid wood, or a premium spray-painted finish, a smooth installation process is key to achieving the best results. Here’s how to prepare for a flawless worktop fitting — step by step.
Before anything is ordered, accurate measurements are essential. Even the smallest error can affect the final fit, especially with materials like stone or composite. It’s highly recommended to have a professional templating service or installer take the final measurements.
Tip: If you’re designing a brand new kitchen, make sure all cabinets are fully fitted and levelled before the templating begins.
Ensure the kitchen is ready for work by clearing all surfaces and removing any obstacles that might get in the way. This includes removing small appliances, décor, and sometimes even cabinet drawers to give installers full access.
Pro tip: Disconnect any temporary or old worktops beforehand, unless your installer is handling the removal.
If your new worktop includes an integrated sink or hob, it’s important that all plumbing and electrical connections are made safe ahead of installation. You might need a plumber or electrician on standby, especially if appliances need reconnecting after fitting.
Whether you’re going for a natural stone, engineered surface, or a spray-painted MDF with a protective lacquer, make sure the colour and finish have been confirmed and tested with samples if possible.
At J&D Sprayers & Makeovers, we also offer colour-matched samples and showroom visits to help you visualise the final look before installation.
On installation day, it’s a good idea to be on-site — or have someone you trust available — to answer any questions, approve positioning, or sign off once the work is completed.
Depending on the material and finish, your new worktop might need time to cure or settle. Avoid placing heavy objects or using the surfaces immediately if coatings or adhesives were used. Always follow the aftercare instructions provided.
We provide a full range of kitchen worktop solutions, from professional spray painting and resurfacing to full replacements. Whether you’re updating an old laminate top or fitting bespoke MDF panels with a durable polyurethane finish, we handle every stage — from prep and spraying to final touch-ups — with expert care.
