Trying to re-laminate kitchen counter tops…?

I hvae maybe 25′ of laminate covered counter top to replace. The backsplash is as much as 2′ high in some areas.
I’m starting to wonder if I’ll regret trying to replace the laminate with new formica (over the old stuff). I havent worked with it before, and trying to do the back splash and the counters at the same time sounds like a disaster. I’m not even sure what it would cost yet. If anyone with experience could tell me if this is a good or bad idea (and what a sheet might cost), I’d appreciate it. Also, if there are ecomonical alternatives to fix these countertops (the laminate is damaged), I’d like to hear it!

Doing a counter top in laminate is NOT a diy. It’s tricky and you don’t get a second try. You also need some special tools that most diy er do not have. You will be better to have done by a pro. Many places will give you free quotes. Get a few quotes and talk to the companies about options. There are a great number of counter top products. With a lot of new options.
