Next on my list of jobs (not sure whether to tackle this before our upcoming trip of on our return).

Peeling laminate on the bathroom door. Searching through the posts I see that either UHU or Epoxy should solve the issue. I will need to remove the door and figure out a way of clamping the edges together as it is a bevelled edge.
Also, the laminate has curled to some extent and is fairly stiff. Would heating it up make it more pliable?

Any thoughts?

Had the same problem with the laminate on the inside of the bathroom door on our Symbol. I tried gluing it back down (used a hairdryer to soften the laminate). But, it only solved the problem for a short while and it didn't look that great. So, finally, removed the door from the long piano hinge, removed the long plastic door catch and covered the door with Fablon. Went for a Fablon design (£8.99 on Amazon) to try and lift the drab interior. Still looks like new after two years and the interior is a lot brighter.

Is that on the inside only or the whole door? I must admit that I would prefer to keep the outer side of the door the original colour/design to match with the internals of the kitchen and living space. The laminate on my door is in a worse state on the outside surface than the inside. If I could source some Fablon in the original design it would be an option.

Yes, it's only the inside of the door. Doing the outside in Fablon would be trickier, not least in finding something close to the orginal. There are specialist vinyl retailers that might be of help (e.g. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] or [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ) so I wouldn't give up hope! Good luck with it though:-)
