Will accidental damage insurance cover this

We recently had a little accident with a cleaning product at home on our £300 solid wood beech worktop. We have accidental cover on our home insurance but do you think it will cover this type of damage?

The product was Oven Pride where you put the racks in a plastic bag empty in the cleaning solution in and leave overnight. Unfortunately the bag leaked and went straight through the towel I had but down to protect the worktop.

I know it was silly putting it on the worktop in the first place but I’ve already beaten myself up about that and now need to try and rectify the damage but I’m concerned the insurance won’t cover cleaning damage.

Thanks in advance for any help
