Hi Maggie, I dropped a tin of beans on to our dinette table (travelled with tins in overhead lockers on one of our first trips, when I opened the locker all the stuff had been shoogled about and.... Anyway, I don't do that anymore). We had it repaired at a dealer who filled it with something but its now flaking off so not successful. We wanted to replace the table but as our van is a '97 model we couldn't get a table to match the other wood in the van. If you live near a caravan breakers you might be able to get a worktop, then all you'll need is someone with advice on how to fit it.

try posting on the repair threads - Wizard knows everything there is to know -
Fraid i don't know everything sorry . Maggie i would try contacting Fleetwood they may just have a repair kit for worktops , if not they should be able to tell you the best way of repairing it .
Hi, I saw on one fixed it club website, don't know which one. They had several dents in the work surface. They filled them and sanded down and then covered all the work surfaces with sticky backed vinyl so they matched. Looked good. Depending on the age of the van this might be a good idea.
Thats an easy one, try the supplier below, i use their Laminate Floor repair kit and its great, i also used it on our wood kitchen doors with also their die kit to blend in, i cannot see what i had done their kits are that good.
Sorry but that repair in my experiance is pretty poor, have done far better myself on our old oak dinning table which was a scratch and burn mark. I recon any french polisher would do a better job than that.

Good Bye To Our Abbey Spectrum 520, Hello To Our Elddis Crusader Cyclone
Didn't quite see the need for a french polisher, quite expensive I would imagine.
With limited experience of seeing the standard of repairs, I was more than content, as it was done free of charge in a ten year old van, perhaps there is a market for such fine skills in hampshire ?
