I would like to re-do our counter tops in the kitchen. We currently have the laminate on particle board type. What is the best way to refinish this type of counter top to make it look higher quality, without replacing the whole counter top?

  • Overlay a higher quality laminate on top with adhesive?
  • Rip off the laminate and replace with a different material (stone, tile, etc?) This might require cutting or sanding the particle board which I don't mind doing.
  • Give in and rip it all out and spend the bucks on a higher quality finish?
  • Don't touch it, call a professional?

As DA01 mentioned, there are epoxy-based methods for refinishing laminate counter tops in the $100-200 range. They seem to have fairly positive reviews:

Rust-Oleum Countertop Transformation Refinishing System

Counter-Coat

Giani Granite

Note: I have not personally used any of these products, and I am in no way affiliated with them.
