A cheap kitchen worktop would be £15. Then get a piece of galvanised to cover it. Or leave it.

Really??

Never bought worktop but thought it would be more than that..

Suppose I just need a hefty piece of stuff in 6' x 2' flavour... it's currently 8' long (the width of the shed) which I think is unnecessary (although, I'm hoping to get a bench vice and grinder so perhaps that extra 2' could come in handy)

Yes, you can buy boggo standard worktop for about that. There is a cheap, low quality version of everything if you're a buy-to let landlord.

But if what you have now is basically OK, you could glue a bit of galvanised over the top if you want it to look neater.

The problem is it bends.

I'd mentioned this to the wife.. they'd need some pretty heavy sanding to get them nice and flat/smooth though??

theres an outlet near me that does 3m lengths of work top fro £!5 iirc. may be £25 but cheap any hoo.
