Table Top Damage. (1 Viewer)

[cydersyd]

A small book fell from an overhead cupboard and punctured the table beneath.
The table surface appears to be constructed of a formica type plastic material over a honeycomb cardboard base, presumably to save weight.
The hole is approximately 1/2" long by 1/4" deep.

Any sensible suggestions would be welcome on the material to fill the hole to maintain a firm surface. If possible a glossy finish to the infill would be a bonus.

Many thanks.

Same thing happened to me..
it did not punch a hole right through though, but pushed a small section about an 1/8th deep into the table

Watch out for one of those mobile windscreen repairers at supermarkets.. I got one to do a resin fill on it.. could not even see it if you did not know it was there..

Then I done the same bloody thing again and have got to do another fix !! oh:

I have heard that the fillings in FB pies are pretty solid when set. Come in a range of colours from puke tan to dog crap brown

Worst case, get a laminate sheet cut to fit.

Arty way, make a feature of it, cut a circle and glue something contrasting in it, a penny ??

try a kitchen fitter...they have a range of resins for filling and repairing, many of which can mimic a patterned surface.

this company provide a service but you can see some of the repairs possible.

Repaired ours with a laminate flooring repair kit. Heat up wax type sticks into damaged area then scrape off to level. Try Amazon.

My son had a hole in a chair-side table in his caravan, created by a falling implement.

I managed to rout a circular piece out and drop in a circular cork coaster, of course I got the coaster first and then cut to the same dimension.

He liked it so much we did other surfaces in his van. :thumb:

fill hole with 2 part car body filler and before it sets replicate the grain patern. then buy a colourfil pack from a large diy store such as b&Q in a matching colour and use that to conceal the defective area. just takes a little patience and minimal diy skills

otherwise speak to a freindly kitchen fitter

Simples !!!!!

Just use any old fillers and then cover the table with oil cloth (loads in Dunelm) and secure underneath with duct tape !
Did this to mine, looks better than when uncovered !!:thumb:
