Bathroom cupboard damage

I just posted this in general then noticed the technical forum so here is my post!

Hi,

A while back I put a trial sized bottle of mouthwash in my caravan bathroom, the next time I picked my van up a couple of months later, I realised that the bottle had tipped over in the cupboard and melted two holes approx 2 inches across inside my moulded bathroom cupboard. I kept the bottle but the mouthwash had also damaged the label so I couldn't see any contact details and I never got round to doing anything. I know which manufacturer the product came from, and they now have a note on the bottle to avoid contact with plastics so there have obviously been other problems with it damaging surfaces.

I am looking at selling my van now but as the whole bathroom sink and 2 side cupboards are one moulded unit I am wondering how mcuh it is going to cost me to replace the whole thing and also whether it is worth me trying to claim now? Just wanted to see what other people would do in the situation?? Or if anyone has any suggestions of where to start with replacing something so big, I have got in touch with Lunar as I don't know where to start with suppliers for parts etc or whether I would need to take it to a dealers to be replaced?

Or if anyone has any ideas of a product I could use to cover up the holes in the small shelf?

Any comments would be appreciated!

It begs the question.....

If this is what it does to plastics, what the hell does it do to your teeth?!?!?!

We did similar damage to our caravan bathroom sink with Tea Tree Oil - and had to replace it. We ordered ours from the local dealership - but it might be worthwhile trying local caravan breakers with the manufacturer, model and year of the damaged van.

Our damage was visible, which was why we replaced it, but if the damage to your van isn't visible outside the cupboard then I would be inclined to get a nice decorative box of a size to fit in the cupboard and cover the holes, and use it to store your bits and bobs in - and mention the problem to anyone buying the van so that they can see what you've done.
