Dsnrbec, I guess if you get the correct glue (bonding to old laminate instead of wood), and probably clean and roughen the original surface this could be done, but then you need to dress the corners in the field. This requires a router and special bits. I had one experience installing new counter top in a house, and while this would not necessarily happen in the villages, the fumes from the glue were ignited by a pilot light. So if you or a contractor does this, be sure you have lots of ventilation, and I would keep a fire extinguisher handy.
Let us know how your project comes out, I am sure others will be interested.
