Hi there.
We are buying a house and the kitchen benchtop has a gouge out of it, in between the sink and the edge of the bench. It is probably about 1 1/2 inches across and not too deep.
I don't imagine it could be repaired, but thought that I had read something in the forum about replacing the laminex (not the whole benchtops) with a new sheet and gluing it on. I've just spent ages using the search, but can't find anything.
I did, out of curiosity, get a quote from a kitchen place, but they said that they would replace the benchtops for about $2500. No money left for that idea just now, but I will still get a few more quotes along this line, for the future.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestion, please? The kitchen is about 2.5m x 2.5m if that's relevant.
Thanks.
ps. I'm one of those "opposites of" a renovator.
