It is a very easy fix if you have a heat gun like the kind used for paint removal, a torch also works. You can get the repair materials from the manufacturer, or if you have any scrap from mounting things to your boat. Just heat op the area to be repaired some and then melt the repair rod/scrap piece into the ding. You can sand it down and flash over the area to make smooth if you want. I did it to a perception kayak and the company even sent me the repair rods free.
