I have cut marks in my laminate counter top. What can I fill in those marks with so it looks better.?

Question

I need to cover up the marks. thanks for any help.

Answer 1

They make a filler with a similar color resin, but it will still show. If you want, you can set up a router and remove a section of the laminate from front to back and replace that section, if you have regular sheet laminate. I do not recomend trying to remove the veneer and replacing postform tops.

Answer 2

You could try getting a crayon with the same color and fill it in. I don't know how long it will last though.

I went ahead and replaced my countertops with a Wilson Art Veneer. It looks like Corian and it is cheaper. If you can call any of it cheap. It's surface is about 1/4" thick. So if you have scratches you can remove them and it looks new again.
It was worth the money. I've been happy with how they hold up.

Answer 3

When joining worktops, particularly at corners, there is a filler which is rubbed into the joint to help hide it. It comes in colours to suit the laminate.

I have never tried this but I guess you could get some from a kitchen specialist or builder's merchant.

Answer 4

Put a cutting board on top of it, or a tile insert. That ought to do it.
