    I am replacing an hob in a house but the original hob is very big and when I have removed it from the worktop , it is very hard to get a new hob that will as big as it.
    As a result there is a big gap in the work top on both size. Basically the new hob is too small for the original opening.

    Is there anything that I can get from the manufactures of the hob to allow for this so it would fill in the gap and make it look ok? Otherwise I will have to replace the whole worktop in the kitchen.

    Probably best to talk to a cabinet maker. They might have come across this and have a solution.

    Is the type of counter top still available. If it is a carpenter would be able to fill the gap and use metal joiners to hide the joins. If not I think you'd have to find a suitable piece to add to it. I cant see it looking great though.

    What size is the cutout? is it laminate or solid worktop.

    If laminate and the edges of the hole are exposed the only thing I can think of is overlay it with stainless frame if you have a CNC or laser cutting company near you they might do you a favour at a reasonable price
