How To Repair Laminate Kitchen Cabinets. Minor Fixes Small scratches, gouges and chips can be fixed with laminate repair paste or a color-matched repair pen, available at most hardware stores and home improvement centers. Apply solvent-based, waterproof contact cement to the exposed core as well as the underside of the laminate surface that you peeled away, using a small paintbrush.
The thermofoil creates a durable, easily maintained surface for kitchen cabinets and other furniture. Laminate kitchen cabinet doors and panels, however, do have a weakness. Don't overdo it -- you just need a thin layer of the contact cement on both surfaces.
For shiny laminate or melamine skin over your MDF you may want to lightly sand it to give the primer better gripping power.
If you find some cracked laminate, you'll want to replace the laminate (if not the entire cabinet face).
Nothing completes the look of a kitchen like pristine cabinets. Lay the door flat and peel back the laminate with your fingers as far as it will go. Wash with mild soap and water, and dry with paper towels.
