Installer damaged a kitchen door - What now?

We have a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances.

It's a Magnet kitchen that was installed in 2005 and we've kept it in good condition.

We had the dishwasher replaced and it was installed by the manufactures delivery drivers. Whilst fitting the door onto the dishwasher they have split the door slightly (5cm split) where it looks like they tightened one of the screws too much (that hold the door onto the front of the DW)

Magnet no longer sell the doors so buying a replacement isn't an option.

Bearing in mind they split the door, but it is a 14 year old kitchen albeit still in very good condition, what's a sensible solution?

Id say about £20.

I dont know magnet prices but doors in B&Q are about £30 each. Assuming a similar price, the age and inconveniece of having to live with it £20 seems about right.

They dont repair easily so unlikely to be an option. And obviously cant be replaced. So you need to be looking at getting its real value.

WHilst magnet might not do it, the manufacture might still do it. If you ask magnet for the manufacture details you can ask them direct, its no unusual for companies to keep hold of a number of items that re no longer sold to settle problems that might develop later but this will only be the manufacture and rarely the retailer. Alternatively if you know the range, try ebay.
