Surface damage to kitchen worktop

[Kenneth_374362521]

Hi, Just bought a second hand van. The kitchen worktop has been punctured on the surface by a heavy object at one time. I want to fill this damage in and restore the finish as best I can. Has anyone any ideas if there are any repair kits available, or any tips on a DIY filling job? Thanks.

Kenneth,

There are dedicated worktop joining and repair kits - Screwfix is a good place to start - but they are all intended for "professional use" - so you need to be able to mix and blend colours to get the right tone and hue, plus you'll have 99% of the stuff left over after the repair...

As an alternative idea, is the "ding" in the sort of place that a chopping or bread board, or trivet to support hot plates could be "added"? Then all you'd need to do is fill the hole with GRP resin and semi-permanently mount the bread board on top...

Lastly there are profession companies that will make an invisible repair for you...

Thanks for your advice Robert.

I'll look into the ideas you sugested. I'm tempted to have a professional job done.

Thanks again.
