if you want to DIY, you need to see if you can find back the same laminate or not. if cannot then need to replace everything unless you are ok with mismatched laminates.

search for the usual laminate suppliers like jennings, admira, formica

to remove the existing laminate, you will need to use a heat gun to heat up the laminates such that the glue below will kind of melt. then peel away the laminate. be careful as the laminate is very sharp and you can get cut. then use turpentine to clean up the residual glue from the wood.

to glue on new laminates, you will need to have a laminate cutter or very sharp pen knife to cut the laminates to size (Slightly bigger than the wood). apply contact glue onto both wood and let the glue dry until it don't feel sticky when you touch it. then paste the laminate onto the wood carefully starting from one edge. press and smoothen the laminate carefully onto the wood to prevent air from being trapped underneath. lastly, use a laminate edge trimmer or wood router to trip the edge of the laminate so that it will be flushed to the edge.

the whole process can be DIYed with the proper tools but it is a tedious process and also going to be messy.

another option is to just buy sticker and paste over the existing laminate. of cos you will get imperfections due to the missing pieces of laminates but at least you won't see the raw plywood.

Replacing the popping-out laminate is definitely possible. Here are some tips:

1. DIY Approach: Use a heat gun to soften the glue and carefully peel off the old laminate. Clean the surface with turpentine before applying the new laminate.
2. Professional Help: Hiring a skilled carpenter ensures a smoother and safer process. Many members on RenoTalk recommend reliable contractors for such tasks.
