where to get coloured epoxy filler ?

B&Q, Screwfix, worktop suppliers.

Most good marine or yacht chandlers carry gelcoat repair kits with small tubes of pigment for colour matching - or try:

Nope! all worktop sealants come in brown,white,grey opaque. :-)

Who said anything about worktop sealant? He wants worktop filler, Colorfill is one brand I can think of that is sold by B&Q. Laminate floor filler may also do the job.

are stuck you can get away with dyes or dry out some acrylic artist's paint and regrind it. A plain white filler will dry to a cream. Try talc and araldite.

Place a strip of cellotape on a longer strip of tape -adhesive to adhesive, and use the longer strip to hold the other over the finished fill.

That will be your finished face. Polishing afterwards will ruin the shine as it will expose the filler particles.

I repaired a deep gouge in my boat's gelcoat using a repair kit. Mixed the colour to match, sanded and polished - it had a shine as good as the original finish.

Grout or filler will not sucessfully keep the join, it will crack under movement and strain put on it,however sealant will move with movement.

Milliput?

Works fine for me, but then I support my worktops properly.

Epoxy (West System is incomparably better than Araldite) and cheap acrylic paint in a tube (couple of quid for a set from the highstreet remainders bookshop / art shop). If there's movement, then filling it's a good idea. Proper fillers are best, but talc, chalk whiting, hand-chopped coton wool fluff (scissors or herb chopper) will work too.

Grind some worktop plastic down to a fine powder and mix it with the epoxy ?

Look at the Fill & Seal range from Trend (the router people). Expensive, but works really well IME. I have successfully added a drop of coloured acrylic paint to the Fill & Seal to get a perfect match.
