LeisureDrive Laminate Worktop
Hello,
the worktop in my van where the sink and gas stove are is pretty knackered, and I wanted to try and get hold of a new piece and cut it to fit, but the laminate stuff you can buy for kitchens is too thick and I don't need 3m of it! Does anyone know where I might be able to find sheets of slightly thinner laminate that they used to use for these vans? I'm being lazy and the bit cut beyond the sink is fine so would like to just replace the bit that's gone. If this isn't possible, then any suggestions of where to get good (hopefully cheap) stuff to replace the whole lot would be much appreciated!
Thanks a lot

Re: LeisureDrive Laminate Worktop
Post a pic of the laminate then we may be able to give you an idea on where to get some.

Re: LeisureDrive Laminate Worktop
Is the wood knackered or just the work surface?
I recovered the worktop with this hardwearing vinyl.
Auction ended today but I'm sure if you contact him he'll have some

Re: LeisureDrive Laminate Worktop
timbertechs can get you lamiated ply , 12mm which is the right size for the leisuredrive tops, however, i doubt the colour matching will happen, leisuredrive had there made for them, and its well out of production.....

Re: LeisureDrive Laminate Worktop
Hello again,
thanks a lot for all the really helpful replies. I'm attaching a couple of dodgy photos, but I think it might be a bit late now! Perhaps if I can find 12mm worktop it'd be worth doing it all again properly...

Re: LeisureDrive Laminate Worktop
good work on the laminate fix! Unfortunately there is a bad break in the wood (which isn't shown), which supports the gas cooker and the side block next to the fridge... will check timbertechs...
thanks a lot!
