Try looking for kits on ebay - or any boat chandlers. I've used Plastic Padding Gel Coat filler which is easy to use. However it is pure white so may not match your locker. You can buy gel coat kits which contain pigments to get a colour match.

You will also need a variety of wet & dry abhrasives - 400, 1000 & 1200 is usual, plus some rubbing compind for the final finish, and then wax to keep the get coat from fading.

It's not difficult to do, but if you aren't keen on the job then anywhere that does boat repairs will probably do it for you cheaper than a caravan dealers.

also used on boats.there is a guide too.ask here

Is the gas locker box door on yours GRP, many are ABS and glass fibre resin or gel coat filler won't stick to ABS, in fact not much will stick to ABS which is why it is usually welded.

agree,easy check,if its rough inside it is GRP if smooth it is ABS.

Most caravan gas locker doors are ABS, but many of the older folding camper gas locker boxes are GRP. As Michael says, it's easy to check what it is made of.
