Hi I’m hoping someone can help me. I have a burn mark on my bench top it looks like a laminate bench top but I’m no expert. Does anyone know how I could patch this over? Thankyou!
Hello @kasey1
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about repairing your benchtop.
I suggest having a quick look at our best advice article - How to repair a damaged laminate benchtop? I also recommend having a look at this discussion - How to fix a burn mark on benchtop laminate? by @JamieK.
One other option is to cut the damaged portion of the laminate with a Stanley Knife and filling the damage with UNi-PRO 500g Multi Purpose Interior Filler - 500g. Your goal is to fill the damage to the same level as the benchtop. Once the filler cures, I suggest sanding it flat using a Rocket Sanding Sponge Kit - 10 Pack.
Once the surface is nice and flat, I suggest painting the surface with paint that is close to the colour of your benchtop. You'll need to touch up the paint from time to time as it will wear out due to daily use. Should the opportunity present itself, I propose replacing the benchtop with a new one.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
