Laminate Countertops: Repair Chips or Burns

Plastic laminate is popular for countertops because it offers a seamless, unbroken, and impervious surface.

However, it can break if something hits it hard enough, and it will melt and scorch if you put something very hot on it.

You can fill small chip-outs with epoxy glue, but the odds of matching a laminate color or pattern are slim.

Slight surface burns can sometimes be scrubbed away with a mild abrasive cleanser. Deeper burns usually can't be removed because they char the thin laminate all the way through. You can try cutting away the damage and filling the void with epoxy.
