Cladding is lifting and tearing
What is the best way to patch it up?
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @David39. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about damage cabinet doors.
It looks like the vacuum-formed vinyl cladding on your MDF cabinet doors is peeling at the edges. To fix this, you can glue down the edges using something like contact adhesive. Apply the adhesive under the vinyl at the lifted edges, then press it back down and allow it to set according to the product instructions. If any pieces are missing, you can touch up those areas with white paint to restore the finish.
However, keep in mind that this issue is likely a sign that the adhesive used during the original manufacturing process is deteriorating. While this quick fix will address the problem temporarily, you may notice the issue recurring in the future. If the cladding continues to lift, it might be worth considering re-coating the doors with a more durable solution, such as replacing the cladding or re-painting the doors entirely.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
