Repairing a chipped worktop

Furton · 24 Apr 2014 at 22:24

I've somehow managed to chip some of the veneer off my worktop, chip is roughly 10mm x 15mm hence want to repair it.

I've looked on the net and people seem to recommend this product

http://www.colorfill.co.uk/index.php

However it looks to me like it's for joints rather than chip repair? Has anyone used the above or can suggest an alternative?
Additionally, I don't have a colour code of the worktop, all I've got is "worktop: grafite", any ideas how I can match the colour?

Can you upload a photo of the damage?

I've used colorfill to repair worktops before it goes really hard when set done a bit about 50mm x 10m. If you have the bit you chipped off you could always take it to a local stockist or kitchen supplier they might be able to advise you on colour. If its a deep repair build it up in layers. If you get the colour right you can hardly notice it.

It's doable with colourfil but you will always notice it even though others won't.

That's a big chip.
If you have the piece then colourfill could be used to mask the edge after you glue it back.
If not you could cover it with a marble plate etc ( not sure what they are called like a chopping board type of thing, where's mrs holdi

) that's presuming its not on the postformed edge.

colourfill is a waste of time no matter how big a chip is. if you contact this person he will sell's you these sticks and heat pen individually when heated and cooled down its rock solid just tell him the colour /s of worktop.trust me these works great also works on floor laminate as well
