I'm after a bit of advise and thought there would be some good opinions on here.
Quite a lot of my kitchen units have absorbed water at the base due to a recent problem with a pipe flooding the kitchen. It's covered by insurance, but there are two different points of view between my surveyor and their surveyor.
Essentially my surveyor thinks if you attempt to repair the MDF by patching it, then the repair will not look nearly as good as it was before. Insurance surveyor thinks a patch is possible.
The units are pretty high spec, granite worktops, distressed paint finish, etc.
What's the opinion on here? Can you effect an invisible patch repair on MDF that will stand the test of time?
