Beware the new Euro regs that came into effect on Jan and Apr 1st banning lots of DIY jobs.
PS worktops where the laminate goes round the front and onto at least a bit of the underside, are likely to resist water seepage longer than, say, IKEA worktops where the laminate covers the top (of course) and front edge, but not of the underside: water drips can linger on the underside, seep into the chipboard, and distort it.
Also, check for heat resistance, it does vary. And note that the vendor, especially IKEA, is likely to take your line of worktop or doors out of production just after you buy your stuff, so get any extra bits you might want sharpish.
