Scratched worktop

[Phian]

No doubt this is an old question but do any of you have suggestions for dealing with a scratch on a very dark (almost black) laminated worktop ? Ideas appreciated.

Hi Phian,

The colour or pattern of a laminated surface is printed on a specially impregnated paper that is then heat cured. I would get some black or matching paint and paint over the scratch and then using a Stanley blade or similar scrape off the surplus on the edges. Maybe a dab of White Spirit on a rag along the scratch to remove any paint that has just gone over. Several applications may be needed if the scratch is deep

Good luck

If it is a superficial scratch, a mild abrasive such a scratch remover might work:

If it's a deep scratch, then as previously suggested, filling with paint might work You might be able to get a near match by mixing some black and grey enamel paint.

Try it out on a scrap piece first, you could finish up with something worse

Thank you one and all.
