Kitchen Worktop Scuffin`

MORNING ALL !

Decoratining for the umpteenth weekend in a row, and last night with the help of the old man was fitting new worktops in the Kitchen . .

The old fella wanted to do the cutting as the sheer amount he has "done in his time" would require a NASA computer to breakdown, however this did not stop hos scuffing the sh*t out the new one in the exact shape of the where the sink has been cut out, which now leaves a soul destroying mark all the way round.

How the hell do i get them out, can i ?

HEYYLP ( pen.pitstop voice!)

Ta chux.

what is the worktop made of?

Did hos cut it with a jigsaw? if he did and its scuffed it I would suggest that Hos`s jigsaw bottom plate is scratched to buggery...

You could try getting fine wire wool or if its a laminated worktop what about a laminated floor scratch repair kit?

Or you could just replace that section and try agin but for god sake do not use Hos`s jigsaw get a cheap one from Aldi etal....

Hope this helps oh and kick Hos in the butt and jump on his hat..... :)

Slight error on my part "HOS" should read "HIS". . . it`s my Bodge-it-and-scarper DIY Dad.

We argue constantly as i like everything perfect, which when i do it, it pretty much is, even if it takes all night. . . where as the old fella, . . .well . .not quite the same exacting standards.

It is a laminate top, and will look into this Lamite repair stuff.

Ta.

What colour is the top and is it light/deep scratches ?

You can buy a worktop jointing paste(for mitres), which should be a good colour match .
You could try a wax crayon .
Also try a wipe over with Wd40 .

Sorry, sorry.

I am on night-shift at the moment so late replies all-round.

Havent attempted yet, but since first post he has done it again, by putting a large plastic box on the counter, and pushing it across leaving a huge bloody "score" not scratch along it . . .not happy.

By the way it is BLACK Quartz or something like that, effect.
