I had the same thing happen to me when we first got our new van, I was gutted. But I did manage to do a repair that is completely invisible.

If you go down to my post on this page you will see how I did a repair with photos..

Many thanks for all your suggestions. I'm going to take the minimalist approach first and gradually escalate until I reach the point where my tolerance and desire to make good cancel each other out.

Somebody asked if we were moving at the time. No we were unpacking having just arived home.

Cheers,

Bob

Hi Broom, stuff usually tumbles out of the cupboard and lands on the worktop after you have parked up and open the cpboard door! Sad Sad


Hi all,

We have bought lots of those little rectangular plastic baskets that you see in the pound shops, small, medium and large. The small ones fit perfectly in the little envelope lockers.
The large and medium ones fit all other lockers. Great for storing tins and bottles, and when you arrive on site, nothing hits you on the noggin, nor the expensive work/table tops when you open the locker to grab the tea or coffee. Very Happy

Even the lockers not in use, (yes, you did read correctly Laughing), are fitted with baskets. Well, you never know when you might need them.

Don't they get full of junk though Jock - and every item was considered essential when you put it in. Rolling Eyes

I've just finished clearing some of it out of ours - and I agree, they are a damn good idea. Cheaper than getting your worktop repaired too! Very Happy

Cheers

Hi Zeb,

I'll let you know when all the empty baskets are full, and there's no room left at all. Laughing Laughing Laughing

Hi,

when we bought our camper there was a hair line crack in the worktop, it never really bothered us until one day my wife placed hot fat in foil on top of it.

This resulted in a large blister and the laminate peeled away, leaving what you see in the first picture.

After a quick trip to B&Q I picked up some metal sheet for only £10. A quick cut, file the edges, I had the shape I required, I simply used silicone to attach the plate to the top, I did score the top before fitting to help the bond and the repair was done.

Just to give people other alternatives, worked for us Very Happy

MHS...Rob Very Happy
