You won’t be able to do that because if the screen is showing it correctly when l try to stretch it, it looks as though it’s not a square edge worktop but a curved one (a pencil profile on the edge). If so you will need to replace the worktop.

Also be aware that buying a sheet of laminate isn’t cheap as they come in huge sheets not simply the size of a standard worktop.

Roughly how much a worktop like this would cost? Some builders are saying best to change everything but we don’t have the budget to replace the entire kitchen when the kitchen cabinets work just fine and have life in them. Any insight would be helpful.

The cost of the worktop depends on what manufacturer and quality you have. There is absolutely no need to replace the cabinets. If you are happy with them, leave them in. We often replace worktops only. You have an electric hob so that’s easy enough to extract and refit (unlike gas where you would need a Gas Safe registered contractor).

l would measure up the length. Some are 3m long, 3.6m long or 4m long so work out what you can get out of each size. For instance if you need 3.9 altogether then perhaps the 4m will work out cheaper in the end because you will only need one worktop although the price individually might be more.

You may get wall tile damage so be prepared for this when the old worktops are taken out. It’s avoidable.

Get some local kitchen company prices.

Thank you so much! You have been extremely helpful. Can you name a few local companies I can approach in London who do fitting as well. For our own place, we went with someone bespoke but this job needs to be cheap and chirpy. Thank you.

Sorry can’t help with recommendations as we are in Staffordshire. Perhaps search out some local ones using Google or ask on a local Facebook forum.
