Re: Repair door

Hello @vy 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about repairing your door.

 

I suggest sanding the surface of the damaged area with 240grit sandpaper. Once the area is nice and smooth, I suggest using UNi-PRO 500g Multi Purpose Interior Filler to rebuild the corner. Fill the corner until it is at the same level as the doors surface. Once the filler cures sand it down using the sandpaper.

 

It is possible to paint just the damaged section, but in order to get a uniform finish I propose repainting the entire door.

 

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to paint a door.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
