- IN this video i finally get round to fixing the worktop that I broke at the end of last year. I have used Milliput epoxy putty to fill the hole and used some acrylic paints to disguise the filler.
Here is what I have used in this video :

I remember watching the video after that pot jumped out of the cupboard and damaged your cooker lid.! What a great job you have done with Milliput. Like you, I'd be happy just knowing it was waterproof.
Hi Dan, the job's done now and done very well I might add, but a couple of tips for you. When mixing the two parts together, you can add some chalk dust or baking powder to lighten the colour a wee bit. If you buy the brilliant white equivalent, you can even mix in a bit of food colouring or paint to match the surface you're working on. When smoothing it down it can get a bit crumbly. Gently work with a wet finger and you'll get a perfectly smooth and even finish. Milliput is great for oh so many repairs.
Thanks for the tips!
I've done exactly the same a week ago, but mines in the work surface, so haven't got the luxury of being able to replace it. I'll get the kit, as I can use the tools for my model-making. Very helpful.
Excellent! Just what I need to repair my worktop, Thanks
Looks good, great job. The milliput is brilliant for fixing gaps in broken porcelain, I usually use the white and then paint.
Dan, thanks for saving me with this vlog! I watched it when you first uploaded it and thought I might need it some day! Well you’ve guessed it ….that day has come 🤣🤣
Glad the Milliput went well Dan I’d be happy with the repair in my van. 👍
Thanks 👍 - I trust you’re well.
Dan.
Well presented video 👍
That's some tough plastic soup bowl ! I think that's a really good match and I'm sure come trade-in, nobody will ever spot the repair 👍.
Bloody thing.. i know, i was surprised when it happened, as im sure you can imagine - the air was blue with all manner of swears lol
Milliput is great stuff, been using it for loads of things over the years.
I heard once that it's used or was used to repair damage on oil rig legs! Not sure that's true but it does set pretty damn hard!
Great job Dan
We saw a caravan at our local dealer that had exactly the same problem. I didn’t want it having seen your previous video. Pretty good job in this one though.
Looks good Dan 👍
Good job Dan 🎉
Good effort mate
Thanks 👍
Hi,
The repair looks OK and a job well done.
My concern is that a plastic bowl can cause that damage are the bailey work top's that flimsy a concern about the quality of the surface.
👍
To be honest, all worktops in all makes of caravans are constructed in teh same way, a very thin skin, paper honeycomb in the centre. I was surprised a plastic soup bowl did this, but now I have a suitable repair method.
Hi Dan, Looks fab well done..
Wow that's a great job there dan wouldn't no you there was a repair there.👌
Thanks 👍
It's only obvious because you know it's there Dan. Anyone else may not even notice now 👍
Very good
Thanks, glad it helped
So what type of paint did you use. We have a pine looking worktop and table repair to do on a recent caravan purchase
A little bicarbonate with some grey ash mixed in, then mix into dent and drip some CA activator on makes it go rock hard, then sand
Almost camouflaged there Dan 👍. Maybe another layer would have levelled it up and clean the over paint on the existing surface that can be seen at 9:20. That sculpting kit looked like dentistry tools 😁. All the best, Rob
Hi Rob, yeah - I think someone with a bit more skill than me could truly make this disappear! I’m not sure I’d want to visit a dentist with these tools. 😂😂😂
Hope you are all keeping well.
Dan.
Hi Dan. Speaking as an average bloke that repair looks fine to me. But will it pass the wife quality control inspection that's one of life's wired drawings I will never understand. Thanks for sharing 👍
That actually isn't too bad. I'd be happy with that as a diyer
I think its a good job
Good morning. I watched your netgear nighthawk video.
I currently have a sky pay as you sim in my phone.
What micro sim do I need for the night hawk. I am confused at the moment. Can I have two sims?
Looks good, your artwork is way better then mine.
Trust me, it really isnt.....
Hi Dan, Can I just ask. We have a 640 and have stored this winter. What we have noticed when visiting last week, is that the wall in the bedroon where the tv and light is. Seems to have warped. Have you noticed this? We have just 2 days ago had it serviced and there is no reports of damp. Any thoughts??
Hi, I have seen the delimitation of the wooden wall boards on a couple of caravans, but not experienced this personally. Might be worth a call with your dealership - and maybe a warranty claim.
I'd call that a win. Properly used caravans should have a couple of scars of honour.
Job done 😮
That is a great job Dan, l have a similar dinge to repair, do you fancy a trip up north and fix mine ?
Lol, nah - if I can do it, anyone can. And prob a better job too.
Nice to see you Dan. Mrs Ts answer I will tell you now “Get another top”. Keep making films. Are you at the NEC this year?
Hi Colin, so far the response has been "its okay" - im sure the guilt will set in and a top will be ordered.
No, not at the NEC this time around, i will be at the October show though, as I have some big announcements coming soon.
Just a thought would it be possible to turn the top over if the shape and fittings allow
Hi David, sadly not, its a white surface underneath and also the mountings are from 1 side only.
Hi Dan. Great instructional video once again. Not a bad repair. I agree maybe a bit more artiste work required from the feminine side of the partnership. Looks like a great product. Dave Birmingham.
100% agree, im still waiting for the final sign off from the boss....
if you use a sponge it will give it a nice effect
Just went a little too far with the paint after the 2 white bits. Looks good though 👌
Hi Dan That looked ok good repair. you know it's there, so you will see it , if you don't point it out no one eles will notice. Mrs T will notice if you point out. . Let her show you. where the repair i;s.
Dan, there’s nothing there, it’s because you know it’s there it’s bugging you. Make youself a G&T
The price you showed for the worktop @ £95.87 must be years old it’s actually £266.98 from Prima, unless of course you get mates rates
No mates rates and cost of kitchen work top was correct at time of filming.
Hi have you ever looked a fixing wall lining peeling - swift caravan.? There must be the perfect glue for doing this that lasts. It’s just like peeling wall paper !
Cheers
Kevin
Oh, I did do this on our lunar, if I recall I diluted some PVA and stuck a torn piece back in place. Wipe over with damp cloth to remove excess. 👍
The worktops can’t be that strong if that little plastic thing can cause that damage
I think that came out well. I might have been tempted to make the repair area slightly larger by cutting out the damaged peice, heating then gluing and flattening, fill the void and reinsert the peice you removed.
If you come to buying a new cooker cover you'll have a scrap one to play around with various repair methods and we can learn together.
Hi do you still use Instagram? I've sent a message on there a few weeks back and not seen anything posted for a while so got a bit worried
