Laminating a circular kitchen worktop

    My current worktops are (MDF) laminated with Formica. They have varnished bullnosed edges which are the colour of MDF. The reason for using this is that one of the worktops starts as a normal straight counter top but then extends into a circular area (1200mm in diameter) which we use as a table/breakfast bar. The 'table' is supported by a maple column.

    As part of our kitchen remodelling I would like to replace these countertops for a darker more contemporary look. Granite and Corian will be too expensive (and probably too heavy for the maple column support), so I am thinking of simply having the same thing done again.

    Does anyone know what company would do such specialist work. Ideally I would need someone to measure up (or be willing to use the existing worktops as templates) and re-install. It was originally done by Newmans (before they joined Noyeks) but they will no longer measure or fit.

    And, finally, the Formica (non-glossy) has lasted very well and looks great, so I would like to use Formica again or something similar and as durable.

    As always, any help would be most welcome. No idea where to go on this one! Thank you.
