Damaged Bannister Help

[HenryGregory]

Was having a loft clear up and a Sky STB fell from my loft, through the hatch, down stairs and hit my bannister. AGHHHHHH so annoyed about it but could have hit the TV so could have been worse.
Can anyone recommend suppliers who may stock this type. It is an oak finish, looks to be veneer. It is screwed on baluster at each side. The infils under the bannister seem to be glued in and will not break free without the wood splitting. The affected piece is 90cms in length.
I have not managed to revmove it yet. Not sure if I should just leave this to a professional or try myself. I think it is past a smart repair, also on the side you see when you go up and down the staris.

Loft cleared, great problem solved, this is now another problem

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Probably stuck on and screwed from below so you're going to have to cut off in bits.
Side note.
Id love to sand and spray that white. Would look mint!

It may be worth sanding and using various shades of paint to imitate the remaining undamaged area before replacing. What about a water transfer?

Thanks, yes I think it might be worth a try. I did ask for one smart repair quote just to see what sort of cost would be involved. It is looking like it would be around £200 which is quite a bit. Might be worth me trying myself if I can cut the flakes off, sand as you say and then maybe fill with some coloured osmo filler.
