Do I need to seal the hole around the kitchen tap?
Yes, you need to seal the hole for the tap with silicone. This will prevent moisture from penetrating and damaging your worktop.
By creating a waterproof barrier, you prevent water from seeping in around the taphole preserving both the durability and appearance of your worktop.
