all we see is counter and what appears to be tile in the white area.....are you saying there is wood trim in the corner......usually caulk is used . I have a water pressure reducer insert at the faucet head...you can order one that corresponds with your brand of faucet. Even hardware stores stock them for the most part..... that looks like a splashy set up w the high arc. I've never had a problem w water flow reduction from the faucet and there is no splashing...but I'm pretty diligent w water usage.....stuff goes in the dishwasher ....handwash only small wood utensils and pots that dont fit etc. the bigger problem if you have splash issues is down the front of your cabinets as counter usually hangs over a bit to protect the fronts . Id keep an eye on that. what is meant by "if worktop gets damaged?" you cant seriously be worried about a stainless work top? if serious problems ensue you can change faucets. Many extend further forward so the water lands toward the front of sink. there are adjustments with product selection.

Hi

Thank you for replying 😊. I am not worried about steel sink getting damaged. Its the worktop area behind the tap. The silicon sealant gets mouldy over tge period of time when water isn't wiped out. I found a lot of options online but I was looking for a more permanent solution. 😀

There is not one realistically. Clesan, dry and replace the caulk periodically. I am also puzzled by your wood statement unless you mean the countertop is laminate with a wood substrate.

Yes that's correct, it's wood with laminate. Sorry should have been more clearer in explaining.

I am sure that wood will eventually be damaged. While I really like beadboard, I'd look into adding tile in that small area. I don't see any way to prevent splashes in that spot.
