Thanks friend. I asked the Bunnings guy what to use and he recommended just the filler and not the kit so I went with that.
From here, would the best option be to sand it, re putty it, re sand till flat, then paint entire door with roller or just the patch?
No worries. I just used the mesh because it was a larger hole and that really helped to have a stable base for applying thinner smoother layers.
Personally if it was me? I'd just try and sand it as flat as possible, see if I could get it flat. You might need a rougher grade of sandpaper and a sanding block if it's slow going. Then smooth it with finer. Then paint the spot in a few thin layers drying in between - if it's still looking very obvious you might then choose to paint the whole door.
I'm not a professional though. Just a renter that had to do this a couple of times
