Peterboro/Wisbech area - Fitter - small job well rewarded !

[John accross the pond]

Hands Up ! I'm admit that I'm the knobhead who tried to do a small job himself, because it was something so simple that even I could do it but even then I made a mess of it so now I need a professional to sort it out for me.

She wanted a new flat electric stove top in the existing long long kitchen work surface, so we bought a new one and I took the old one out (forgetting those NASTY clips each side and at the front) they broke the surface of the surrounding work top on three sides (about 1cm out from the edge but about 4 cm along it on 3 sides) and now I need some way to disguise that rather than changing out a 20 foot long worktop.



I'm not a cheap-o and I'm more than happy to pay ££'s for my sins to be put right, I only did it myself in the first place because I thought that the job would be so simple that even I couldnt get it wrong yeah I know.............

It's probably a tiny job for somebody who knows what they are doing and has a supply of shiny black (or silver) finish plastic strip stuff, but I'd be happy to pay a good price to have it looking right again even if the job only took somebody a couple of minutes.

She has been kind enough not to tell me what she thinks of my DIY skills but I know how stupid I feel everytime I see it.
Thanks
Pete

Well Pete.

I was thinking about your problem. I think I may have a solution for you. I don't know what the top of the hob is but I'm guessing its glass, possibly dark shaded. What would you think of the idea of you purchasing four matching glass strips, say app. 2 inches wide and wrap round the hob. Clear silicone in the joints and a bead of silicone at the joint between the glass and the hob. I think this could work.
