Has anyone ever had a worktop satisfactorily replaced? SWMBO decided to break up a bag of ice in the middle of a worktop last night & surprise surprise she's dented  the blasted thing ...... but it apparently wasn't her fault!! 😡😡😡😡

Cut out with multi tool and 'sink' in a cutting board. Could use coloured sealant to fix and neaten the edges. Just a longer term temporary repair mind which will hide a little of the evidence somewhat and give time to think of a permanent solution.embarassed

Funnily enough our previous caravan had two glazed tiles set into a worktop which we think must have been a similar repair to a dented worktop.

Old trick used to be to turn them over, but nowadays probably not practical.

Unfortunately this is a shaped piece that has the kitchen sink in it.

The course I would take on a 6 year old van would be influenced by who picks up the tabs, as I can't see it being anything but very expensive.

If it was not my insurer then like has been suggested earlier I would be doing some lateral thinking of what sort of inset, or wider area resurfacing feature would look the less bodge like.

At home we once had a stainless steel top protector, a quite big sheet with a "satin" finish. That lived as a permanent feature though it covered no "nasty", but did not look out of place either so did not get stowed away when not actually in use. Something of that ilk might be an option?
