How to fix dent in laminate shower bench?

I have a small shower bench with a new ding / dent, and I'm interested in any tips that might help me repair it myself.  At the outset I should say - I have limited tools and experience, but I'd like to have a go if I'm able.

 

Sadly, I can't find anything like a product information sheet, but my untrained eye is guessing that this is laminate.  The product is a fold down shower bench (https://www.lencare.com.au/shop/bathroom-series/shower-seat-plus-drain-slots/) Size of he dent is 30 x 10mm.  It's a brand new problem, not yet exposed to water from a shower.  Looks like something has been dropped on it.

 

I have some SikaSeal Kitchen & Bathroom wet area silicone (I've been putting off learning about that for the unsealed kitchen sink and splashbacks that came with the house).  Some beginner's research I've just done makes me think that epoxy may be a better choice, possibly?

Evening @LynneWasTaken 

:smile: Nice thought out steps. Just a suggestion and I am sure you would anyway but a plastic sheet down over an old paint cloth just in case that gorilla glue drips. I have been using a caulking gun and put it down on my paint sheet and then found that nope, it wasnt quiet on the sheet... :smile: Live and learn is what I tell myself!
