Damaged (melted) plastic conservatory door problem!

[JonHead34]

Hi all

I don't think this is obviously relevant to the other categories, so I hope it's okay to post here.

We've recently had a conservatory installed (white plastic, B & Q, Victorian style), and unfortunately a security light was mounted on the wall too close to the conservatory, resulting in a small section of one of the frames having basically melted into a black, bubbly mess due to the heat of the light! (Yes, I feel suitably stupid)!

The damage is only cosmetic, but is very ugly and I was just wondering what the best way to deal with it was as I'm not used to working with the tough plstic conservatory material. Any suggestions would be most welcome. If I get no better suggestions, I guess I'll just sand the affected area as smooth as possible, using filler where necessary to fill in any gaps and will simply paint over with an exterior matt white paint. It will still be obviously different to how it was originally, but will be much less of an eye sore than it currently is.

Thanks very much for reading and considering my post!

Kind Regards

Jon

you can get white PVC guttering and wire conduit... how about chopping it out and glueing some new in?... just athought.

heeelllooo jon

my thoughts are dependant of location take a sharp chisel work the surface flat
aquire some sutable upvc molding a few inches wide that you can glue on top and cover a whole section or if it looks better the whole length

just a thought


ooo another thought if the light is mounted why not make up a wooden backing piece shape it mould it and cover up the dammage

Thank you very much for the suggestions - I'll look into finding some replacement pieces of PVC to cover up the unsightly mess!!

Much appreciated.

why not contact www.the-plastic-surgeon.co.uk
They can offer quality upvc repairs and near invisibility, better than matt paint or chiseling or sticking bits of plastic on.
Where abouts in UK are you ?
