Hi Everyone,

We have an Ace Jubilee courier 2005, can anyone offer any advice on how to repair a small dent (approx 1 inch in diameter) on our dinette table.

It seems the tables are of a honeycomb internal construction - Not sure what do do with the hole!

All advice appreciated.

Can you not just turn the table over and use the bottom as the top?

Hi,
had a similar problem (after things fell out of an overhead locker because of speed bumps!), but had three or four bad dents....
As said, like honeycomb inside, so just bought a sheet of (almost) identical laminate from local DIY, cut it very slightly oversize, sanded the original table top and glued the new laminate on with Evostick; when dry, just filed/sanded the edge until it matched.... can't see the join!

 hi the previous advice is good you could also try steaming the dent it may come out

or fill with suitable shade of plastic wood.

We have an 2007 Abbey Vogue 540, and we accidentally created a small dent / hole in the side dinette table. We contacted the dealer who quoted us £138 for a replacement, and best of all, without the fixings, which I would have to reuse from the damaged table myself!!

How Swift Group can charge so much is beyond me, captive market I guess.
