What's the best way of dealing

What's the best way of dealing with warn oversize holes in a kitchen chipboard carcase?

I suppose I am to fill the holes and re-drill, what product should I use as the filler?

[Nick Odell]

Are there reasons why you have to place the new holes in the same locations? Would it look neater to cover the old holes with push-fit plugs and bore a new hole in a new position?

No, that would be crra bdy fleur Sorry, couldn't resist..

[Mike Clarke]

Would a hinge repair kit solve your problem? e.g.

[Chris Hogg]

Are you talking screw holes or the large circular recesses that the body of the hinge fits into? If the former, can you just use chipboard plugs with the holes in the chipboard drilled out if necessary, and glued in place if needed.

You is a bad boy.

Drill out the hole out to a suitable size and tap in and glue in a wooden dowel

Cut the dowel flush with the side of the carcass

They come in various diameters/lengths

Teach the family to take more care and not allow the screws to come loose!

Please stop insulting Turnip. A couple of posts per thread is more than enough.
