In some cases large workbenches and tables can be refurbished at the fraction of the cost of a new workbench. As we are a UK workbench manufacturer, our team has extensive experience of replacing, resurfacing, and installing new worktops.
The photos below show an example of a 12 metre by 1.9 metre workbench replacement. Our team travelled to the site, squared up the old frame, and replaced the worktop. It was then faced with linoleum for a clean and durable finish.
We can send worktops ready cut to size and finished, or our team are able to visit your site for larger installations and refurbishments.

Melamine laminate is known as a low-pressure laminate because of the lower pressures used within the manufacturing process. To make this material, layers of paper are saturated within a melamine resin. Using thermal fusion they are converted to a solid and then applied to a core board.
Melamine laminate is a cost-effective, material to provide colour to worksurfaces. The durable finish also provides a level of protection against scratches and water. Melamine laminate worktops from Spaceguard are normally finished with 2mm thick PVC edging to finish the board.
