Mending table dent (1 Viewer)

[Spidey]

my daughter dropped her phone charger on our table and dented it, well put a hole in it . Does anyone know the best way of repairing it? I will try and attach a photo to show the damage.

How about a new table top? We bought one for £35 from O Leary's in Hull/Beverley

Hopefully that will be an option if it can't be repaired it is quite small just know its there. Thought there might be some filler I could use.

Try the plastic surgeon, I think they're a nationwide company, very good at repairs like these.
Edit...just seen the post saying you can buy new for £35, in which case there's no contest, can't imagine you'll get it repaired for any less than that

We had an almost identical damage to our moho table and had it repaired by Surface Renew ... he is based in North Kent but does travel within reason. He is called Damon, came out to us while on a CL in Kent and completed an invisible repair which took him around 90 minutes. I'm very happy to recommend his work.

Fillers available in many colours for plastic and wood. Look on flea Bay!

I had a very similar hole/dent. Fixed it with one of these kits

Managed to blend waxes to get a good match. Included a tool that melts the wax which then runs into the hole and sets. Might need to do it again after a while but much happier now the damage is hidden.

So are MIG welders, but if you don't know how to use one you will do more damage than its worth.

Had a look around Cotswold motorhomes yesterday and one of the sales had a hole in the table, and another next to the hob, bit surprised they were selling it like that.

Would probably cost more to repair (properly with genuine parts) than the amount it reduces the vehicles value.

I repaired our last vans worktop which had a 1" split where a saucepan lid fell on to the work top, I superglued the split and got a tube of coloured filler off eBay and filled the split.
When I had finished you had a struggle to find the repair, the repairer that Auto Sleeper put me on to wanted £330 to do the job.

Thought this might do it, anyone tried this product?

My thinking is if it can't be repaired we might eventually replace the top.

It may do, but what else haven't they bothered to repair? And I expect they gave a lower price for it because of the damage.

Hi Spidey that's what I used on our last van,
By the way I'm scared of spiders.

I don't mind them, but my name is what my youngest used to call Spider-Man. She loved him, but just called him Spidey, I asked her advice on a forum name (for another forum 13 years ago) and that's what she said use so just stuck with it
