I'm wondering how best to repair it - my first thought is car body filler?



Yes, but hang ten.

What you need to do is first pf all patch from underneath with a bit of
chopped strand mat and polyester resin - Halfords can supply - then use
polyester resin and a (mica?) filler - and that may be available from
Halfords or you may need to shop elsewhere at a specialist glass fibre
shop and finally resin with a white pigment.. Powder paint WILL work,
for white (Ti O2 is inert) but again a specialist glass fibre shop may
have a better 'gel coat' pigment

Once the layers are built up, sand back going down top 600 grit or finer
and use T- cut to blend the repair in
