kitchen worktop - laminate sheet?

last year

We have a small part on the kitchen worktop which got damaged by our tenant, which we want to get repaired. Given it’s a rented property, keen to get away with the cheapest and quickest option. Do you know a handyman who can change the laminate sheet entirely in the kitchen and glue it on worktop? Any recommendations would be v helpful. Thank you so much!

You won’t be able to do that because if the screen is showing it correctly when l try to stretch it, it looks as though it’s not a square edge worktop but a curved one (a pencil profile on the edge). If so you will need to replace the worktop.

Also be aware that buying a sheet of laminate isn’t cheap as they come in huge sheets not simply the size of a standard worktop.

Roughly how much a worktop like this would cost? Some builders are saying best to change everything but we don’t have the budget to replace the entire kitchen when the kitchen cabinets work just fine and have life in them. Any insight would be helpful.

My kitchen was very similar to yours Theresa very dark - needed to leave lights all the time! I got the cabinets professionally painted in an off white by Farrow and ball and the walls are in Bone by farrow and ball which is a kind of grey - sage color. looks and feels way warmer and brighter! Think this could work really well with your wall tiles as they appear to have a green tone in them. Definitely integrate appliance - so glad I got mine painted it feels like a whole new kitchen without the big investment! Best of luck with yours!

mussel kitchen cabinets

hi all, for the kitchen in a new contemporary build, I have narrowed it down to mussel coloured kitchen cabinets -handless matt acrylic (kithenstori.com ) together with white jasmine corian worktop. The floors are planned to be oak laminate and the window frames and doors white. I was wondering does anyone have mussel cabinets and do they have green undertones? What colour island will work well with mussel/jasmine white?

Hi we would like to change our worktops and backsplash in our kitchen. Has anyone had epoxy resin applied to change worktops. What is the finish like? We will be upgrading whole kitchen in a few years but just want to brighten up what we have. We have elephants breath on the units and black laminate worktops presently. What colour would you put with the units? I'm drawn to the white quartz worktops but I'm not sure if it would be too stark against the warmth of elephants breath?

Laminate or Paint?

Hi, My dilemma is this: we’ve just purchased a house and have a tight budget for our kitchen upgrade. We would like to EITHER paint the cabinets (light grey) and go with a wood-like laminate worktop OR we could leave the cabinets as is and put in a quartz countertop (carerra marble effect) which we really like. Thoughts?? I posted a photo of the kitchen now. Thanks!

The cost of the worktop depends on what manufacturer and quality you have. There is absolutely no need to replace the cabinets. If you are happy with them, leave them in. We often replace worktops only. You have an electric hob so that’s easy enough to extract and refit (unlike gas where you would need a Gas Safe registered contractor).

l would measure up the length. Some are 3m long, 3.6m long or 4m long so work out what you can get out of each size. For instance if you need 3.9 altogether then perhaps the 4m will work out cheaper in the end because you will only need one worktop although the price individually might be more.

You may get wall tile damage so be prepared for this when the old worktops are taken out. It’s avoidable.

Get some local kitchen company prices.

Thank you so much! You have been extremely helpful. Can you name a few local companies I can approach in London who do fitting as well. For our own place, we went with someone bespoke but this job needs to be cheap and chirpy. Thank you.

Sorry can’t help with recommendations as we are in Staffordshire. Perhaps search out some local ones using Google or ask on a local Facebook forum.
