Hiya all, In need of your help & advice please. Need to replace worktop in our caravan (Compass corona 534 year 2003) however it is not an easy task, I cant just purchase a replacement from B&Q etc due to design & weight. I have been to a caravan supplies for advice and they advised that we would need to use Formica sheeting? I have looked for this and found it hard to find and they only seem to sell it in large ammounts ie Big cost :( also my better half is a little worried if purchased how to fit it? Im driving him crazy Lol.Can anyone help please???? Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks all.

Regards,

Donna

Maybe ask him where he got his from for the replacement worktop?

you will get what you need here
but you will have to collect in person.
I have plenty of experience with formica and worktops from my work as a kitchen fitter and joiner and would say its only a job for a confident diyer with pro tools. You may be better off removing the worktops and taking them to a joiners shop and asking them to be copied, there they could use your existing tops as an exact template.

Why do you need to replace, what is the damage?

Hi have you thought of using a repair company such as the plastic surgeon?

just google plastic surgeon caravans or ring them (0845 141 0000) they do cosmetic repairs such as scratches,dents and gouges and they come to you

on their website you can send a photo and get a price (no i don,t work for them)
