Hi , need a bit of advise, I reversed my caravan in to some guttering and it’s damaged the top left hand corner of the roof , it’s not broken pieces off but made bad cracks and small gaps.
Can anyone recommend anything to repair it with something like a resin that I can push in and fill up the cracks with ? Or any better ideas ?
It’s a 2007 Elddis
Thanks in anticipation

I would use Unibond Express Repair putty from BQ or some Halfords. It can be bought in packs with six blisters of epoxy putty or packs with a single larger piece. Compatible with most materials. Cures quickly and has a whiteish finish. Can be sanded smooth. Finish if required with Holts Knifing Putty which isn't suitable for the major filling but gives a good surface for sanding using 800 grade. Then for a perfect finish use white acrylic enamel paint finshed to a polish using TCut or acrylic scratch removal polish. Good as new for less than £15.

Hi Fatboy, there are several companys that will weld it if it plastic, but if it fiberglass then probably a repair with a new fiberglass kit might be best.

Dont forget before a repair drill a small hole at each end of any cracks to stop it spreading any further.
I have not had the cause to do this but have read it many times on here.
Good luck.
