    A GLASS KITCHEN WORKTOP THAT HAS A LARGE CRACK GOING THROUGH IT. WITHOUT HAVING TO REPLACE, ANYONE GOT ANY IDEA HOW TO REPAIR? IS THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN JUST PUT OVER THE TOP THAT WORKS WELL FOR A WORK SURFACE SO IT CAN BE REPLACED IN ABOUT 6 MONTHS?? ANY IDEAS WELCOMED. THANKS

    :rolleyes: Ply would need sealing to make it vaguely hygenic to use in a kitchen for approx 6 months - guess could paint it but just depends what you use this worktop for

    Could bond on a sheet of pvc or Perspex but it's pretty expensive stuff when you go large

    B&Q have a basic range of chipboard worktops, 600mm depth for around £40 for a 3 mtr length

    Often have damaged lengths with decent reductions as well. May well be worthwhile as a temporary stopgap and cheap enough :)

    Is the melamine faceboard easy to cut astramax? Will need to go round the sink.

    Yes easy to cut, will go around the sink if you cut it to the required shape etc. Go around the edges with a clear silicon sealant to waterproof the edges as a temporary arrangement.
