Hello @shona 

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

For the lifting edge cover, I suggest using Sika 125g Sikabond Techgrip High Strength Multi-Purpose Polyurethane Adhesive - 125g. For the chipped and stripped section of your door, I recommend using UNi-PRO 500g Multi Purpose Interior Filler - 500g. It will take some effort, but your goal is to use the filler on the surface until it is level with the old melamine surface. I recommend not adding too much so that you won't be sanding off a great deal of filler.

Once the filler dries off, I suggest sanding the surface and cleaning it off with clean rag. I propose painting the surface with a low-gloss paint sample pot close to the colour of your kitchen doors.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hello @shona 

With the Sika 125g Sikabond Techgrip High Strength Multi-Purpose Polyurethane Adhesive - 125g apply a little bit on the loose edging of the door. It's the loos top cover edging of the door, once you've put the adhesive on press long and hard on the edging until it does not come back loose. for the chipped section of the door, use the plastic spatula that comes with the filler and apply it on the door, specifically on the chipped and stripped sections. Your goal is to build up the damaged section until it is at the same level as the original door.

Once the filler has totally cured or is totally dry, you can use some 240grit sandpaper and sand down the section that has been filled until it is level with the surface of the door. Wipe the door clean with a clean rag. I then suggest going to the store and asking the paint team member to get you a paint sample pot such as British Paints 250ml White Sample Pot - 250ml and a foam brush. Apply the paint on the filled section and allow it to dry. Keep in mind that you will need to touch up the surface when the paint fades away.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hello @shona 

Please note that you will need to use special paint such Dulux Renovation Range if you are planning to paint your laminate doors.
