1. Assess the Cause: Determine why the worktop has bowed. Common reasons include changes in humidity or moisture content, improper installation, incorrect storage, or structural issues.
2. Evaluate Damage: Check if the bowing is minor or severe. Minor bowing might be less of an issue and easier to correct.
3. Avoid Cutting or Installing: If the worktop is significantly bowed, avoid cutting or installing it. Contact us to see if it can be replaced.
4. Reduce Moisture Exposure: If the bowing is due to moisture, try to reduce exposure to moisture sources. Ensure there are no leaks from nearby sinks or taps.
5. Weight Distribution: Place heavy objects or weights evenly across the bowed area to gradually encourage it to flatten out. Use something like heavy books or bags of flour for a couple of days.
6. Flip the Worktop: If the worktop is not fixed in place permanently, flipping it over might reveal a flatter surface on the other side.
7. Consult a Professional: If the bowing persists or is severe, consult a professional carpenter or installer. They can assess the situation and provide expert advice on how to fix or replace the worktop if necessary.
8. Prevent Future Issues: Once the worktop is corrected, take steps to prevent future bowing by ensuring proper installation, oiling, and maintenance.

Depending on the severity and cause of the bowing, one or more of these steps should help alleviate the issue. If you're unsure or uncomfortable tackling this yourself, it's always wise to seek professional assistance.
