Definitely fix it. It's hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like all you need to do is clean it out and put a piece of fiberglass over it. If it is pushed in and cracked around then you should try to fix it really well or bring it to a ding repair guy.

Yep fix it for sure mate, water gets in and you are screwed. be sure to clean all that wax off, then sand back thoroughly, get any wax out of the crack with a knife or something, then go get one of the ding repair pack and patch it up, or if you're in a lazy mood just grab a tube uf filler and pack it in!
