How to repaint peeling kitchen benchtop?

Question

Hi I've moved into a new home the previous owner painted the bench tops not sure if they used the right product or not. Anyway the bench top paint is now peeling. What can I use to fix this and still use my bench top. Or what can I use to cover it   I'm on a really tight budget.

Given the condition of the bench, I think vinyl would be worth a try @MsDIY. If it adheres, then it would certainly improve the look. Just check the cost, as for $125, you could have a whole new benchtop.

What would you think about the vinyl contact stuff would this work. The plan would be to renovate the whole kitchen but not at this point

The benchtop is in fairly poor condition and could have been painted a couple of times now, @MsDIY. Sanding it back to the laminate and removing the existing paint would be key to getting a good and lasting result. The other option would be to have the benchtop replaced. Obviously, that would be more expensive, but there are some quite budget-friendly laminate benchtops on offer.
