Integrated fridge door repair

    I managed to break off the integrated press door that was covering our fridge. I snapped it clean off the hinges. My problem is how do I reattach it back to the unit? All the attachment holes on the unit that would usually take the hinge are now damaged.

    I've tried getting in touch with a few handy men repair companies but I can't get any replies. Maybe the job is too small?

    @Purgative here you go. I couldn't rotate them. The door has the same damage as the unit i.e. the holes are broken.

    Can you reposition the hinges ? Move them up or down to an undamaged part of the unit.

    Remove the excess, sand a little as necessary. Fill with filler and leave it to set, then reattach. Had similar happen.

    Thanks for the advice. I'll give the wood filler idea a go.
