    Hi all

    Water damage between the wooden counter top and the tile right where the tap/sink is.

    The installers said their would be a problem in a few years. Any advice? Simple scrape out of the grout and put more in? Or a bead of silicone?

    Thanks in advance.

    You have to sand that back clean it with mould killer Sand again.


    You should be oiling that countertop. Or is it varnished

    First make sure the countertop is securely fixed to the wall in this area.

    You could tile that gap; bring the level up slightly higher than the sink and you wont have to worry about water pooling. You will need a fairly thick bead of silicon sealant on both the wall and sink sides. Dont worry too much about sticking down to the wood, probably better off leaving it floating.

    In my case i had a small gap, which fitted a plastic trim piece. Silicon to the wall and sink.
