Hi Everyone

Guess I already know the answer to this but I always live in hope...

I was packing up my van for the summer hols when a coffee maker fell from the overhead locker and landed on the formica covered kitchen surface. It's made a dent, not a huge one, but it's broken the formica and made a notivable dent.

So the question is, is there an easy way to fix this? I'd rather not replace the whole surface. Is there a way I can conceal the damage and still protect the wood underneath from water?

The dent is about the size of haflpenny and about 1mm deep. Realy annoyed as I've had the van 2 years and this is the first dink and it bl**dy hurts!!!

Fingers crossed.

I seem to remember that this very problem has occured a few times recently. There should be one or two threads regarding a fix. Have you tried a 'search' to see what turns up?

hi i got a kit from e-bay if you type in ( repair laminate floor worktop white grey black granite ) you will get a repair kit if you want a different colour see his other items it works by melting a hard coloured wax into dent with tool in kit then add different colours to match your worktop i fixed our's and was inpressed how easy it was the wife was even more impressed not a perfact match but you have to look close and know it was there to see hope this helps Andy

Nice one Andy, not a bad price either at twenty quid considering a replacement worktop is about £450, I do hope I never have to use it though.

Sorry everyone, I should have searched the forum more carefully, my bad manners. Just fuming with my own bad luck yesterday and stewing in my own juices.....

madtrucker, that sounds exactly what I am after. Do you have any tips for applying the stuff? Was it straightforward? (I don't want to make it worse). How long does it take to dry.

Many thanks to everyone who replied, your help (as always) is much appreciated.
