Can I repair a laminate worktop ?

[Rachel1975]

The laminate worktop in my kitchen appears to not have been sealed properly and where two pieces have been joined together (i.e. to go around a corner) the laminate surface is starting to lift - it appears water is starting to get in.

I would like to do something about it before it gets worse but i'm not sure what I can do - any ideas ?

Someone has said to me that I can buy strips to stick on the worktop surface to prevent further water getting in and to hide the lifted areas but what are these strips called and where can I get them ? also are they easy to put on ? I can find edging strips but nothing to go on the actual worktop surface.

Any ideas / info gratefully received.

many thanks
Rachel

forget it its shot and needs replacing any thing you try will only be at least temporary as the dammage is done
