A bit of background ......
Three months ago we had the kitchen revamped - new units.
Our fridge/freezer was acceptable and was re-installed.
It stands between 2x 7ft(?) high up stands.

Unnoticed the drain hose of the fridge had popped out from the evaporation tank and for three months the pipe has been dripping out the back of fridge onto the floor.
The damp has caused the sides of the up stands (when viewed edge on) to expand, bow and de-laminate to a height of about 4 inches.

Is there any way the bottom of my up-stands can be fixed (or at least be made to look better)?
I was thinking of letting them thoroughly dry out, carefully scrapping out some of the expanded board, somehow injecting some sort of glue between the board and laminate and clamping (or will I just be farting in the wind?)

Cheers for the replies - even if they weren't what I wanted to hear.

I think the 2 parts effected are called larder end panels and like I say it's just the front edges (to a height of about 4 inches) that I was hoping to improve

I guess it will be 2 replacements then - but that will have to wait until funds allow.
