how can I repair a damaged ikea white gloss table?

it has been damaged in transit - a sliver of melamine about an 1 inch in diamater has revealed the 'wood' beneath (I'm assuming it's melamine on the top - it looks like high gloss white kitchen doors) I like the table, extends from the centre and don't want to use a cloth all the time! anybody help with somehow repairing this. Even if I had to do the whole table! thanks. have placed this under kitchen units because it must be a similar finish.
