Would imagine any DIY shop.but i'd try Halford's first...type in 'silicon spray' on google...no end of options there ..good luck...

That's not very helpful mate!

I have the same problem with a brand new kitchen. I don't want to have to replace the work-surfaces. They also happen to be the professionally mitred one and the one with the sink cut in rrrrrrrrrrr

A permanent marker is probably the only thing that will hide a scratch.If is very faint you could try cream ciff.It acts like rubbing compound that you use on car body work.Forget about color fill,its useless for anything to do with worktops including sealing them.

hi i tried wicks but it made it ten times worse than it was my wife nearly left me in the end it was cheaper to relace the surface as the call out charge was £100 first hour £40 per hour after i was told that it could take up to 4 hours work top cost me £100 plus £70 to fit please avoid gloss black b&q rubbish homebase much much better

if its a black worktop and the scracthes are light use a perm black marker pen let it dry then spray wd40 on it and wipe clean with a clean soft cloth

I had a similar problem with a wood effect worktop. The scratch wasn't deep but it looked white and was obvious when you looked at the worktop. I tried rubbing a used teabag on the scratch. This had the effect of staining the white scratch brown and because the worktop was wood grain effect, the scratch became invisibe. However, you can still see the 'cut' or scratch left behind if you really look for it.

I am a kitchen fitter, if your work top scratch is not not too deep you can fix it with M3 Finnesse - It
this a non abrasive cutting paste. you can buy from a car repair shop. This has worked on high gloss laminate work tops

dont use colorfill its far to soft will polish out waste of money for used surface areas. never tried it but i think fiberglass gel coat would be harder mixed to shade of tops

I had something similar and was recommended to a company called Plastic Surgeon. They were fantastic and have removed my scratches. A very professional service as well. They have a forum on there website which is very useful.

Wickes DIY stores stock scratch repair filler called COLORFILL £6.99 on page 86 of their little book,never tried it but it should work.
