Due to recent changes in the regulations, I was forced to change the surfaces in my practice. Having received quotes and advice from many different outfits, I eventually settled with Mr Worktops and the choice was the right one. From the very first phonecall to the final touches, the service was exemplary, the information was clear and professional and the final result was outstanding. Wouldn't hesitate to go back. - Dr. C. Wilson
Hospitals, dentist surgeries and other healthcare facilities specify solid surface for patient rooms, reception areas and even operating rooms because it is hygienic, durable and easy to clean and maintain. Its lasting value and attractive appearance also contribute to its growing demand. Recent dental LDU legislation states that all surfaces should be impervious and easily cleanable, and that worksurfaces should be continuous, non-slip and where possible jointless.
Acrylic solid surfaces are ultra-hygienic. They help prevent the spread of bacteria and disease, because, unlike other surfaces such as laminate, tile and granite, there are no grout lines or ridges in solid surface to trap dirt and germs. Solid surface is also non-porous, which helps to prevent the accumulation of bacteria and mould. As it is easily fabricated, solid surface can be formed into countertops, sinks and back-splashes to create one continuous surface, thereby minimising spaces in which bacteria can collect.
Solid surface also has infection control properties that are appealing to building engineers and designers who have been dissatisfied with the performance of laminate and tile.
There are many solid surface manufacturers, but only a few which offer the beauty, quality and durability that our standards demand. We have chosen, through years of experience and endless research, three; Corian (a Dupont company, Hanex, Staron (a Samsung company), and Tristone.
Mr Worktops is not only a Staron 'premier fabricator', but also an authorised fabricator for Corian and Hanex and Tristone. We have fabricated and installed hundreds of solid surface worksurfaces. Our reputation means you can be assured that your investment is guaranteed.

Why is solid surface so perfect for the healthcare sector?
Seamless
Solid surface has no visible joins. The benefits of this are more than simply aesthetic; minimising the number of ridges and seams means significantly fewer difficult to clean areas and consequently a significant reduction in the number of bacteria on your work surface or sink.
Hygienic
Solid surface is an advanced composite material; it is inert, non-toxic and hypoallergenic, and provides aseptic and hygienic surfaces to create a comfortable atmosphere in healthcare environments.
Easy to clean & maintain
Solid surface is non-porous and stain-resistant, making it easy to clean and maintain.
The same qualities prevent the growth of bacteria and micro-organisms and reduce the risks of infections to patients and staff.
All corners and joints can be rounded to ensure easy and complete cleaning.
Durable and repairable
Solid surfaces are covered by the manufacturer's 10 year guarantee, but, probably more important, they are repairable! Just about any damange can be repaired on-site - a far cheaper and more practical solution.
