In order for me to repair it Do I need to putty the holes and then redrill a hole and fit with longer screws ? It seems this might have happened before as I see there are already plugs in the holes... I should replace those to right? Any particular products/putty etc I should be buying at bunnings? I have attached a couple of photos also. Thanks in advance..
