I did a major kitchen refresh on a rental we own a few years ago. The countertops were a mess and we used a concrete product that was inexpensive and easy. Here is the post if you'd like to see it. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/kitchen-dining/kitchen-dining-furniture/changing-up-an-orange-formica-countertop-with-concrete-18147786?r=2
Changing up an Orange Formica Countertop With Concrete
I think Libbie B's concrete skimcoat countertop turned out very nice. I will be giving it a try!

Home Depot or Lowe’s sell replacement tops that are beautiful! The angles are already cut for you. You will just have to remove your old ones and put the new ones back on making sure you levl them up . They have different lengths to choose from and if yours is a few inches shorter ask them to cut it for you. Good luck.
The angles are going to be expensive. Not an easy fix unless you are experienced. To replace, it will probably cost you $1500. I speak from experience. The big box stores only sell standard countertops in stock. This would be a special order top. I would try the concrete or paint products first.

Thank you all so much for your input. Diane
