   Needs a piece of plastic plastic welded into the hole with a skim of filler to smooth, yours is probably just solid filler which will sag, crack and move...
   
   Go back to standard is the ultimate way to stop it though

   needs to be left to cure properly, filler doesn't dry properly for a few days

   by this i mean once you've sanded the filler down and its all in shape and smoothed, leave it for a few days to cure before putting primer/paint on it
