PVC door step damaged

[mrdiamond]

I’ve had an accident today putting the Christmas lights up .
I accidently dropped my hammer from up high and it hit the anthracite door step and put a big split into it .
How can I fix this thanks

Can you rescue all the pieces?

plastic bullnose cap??

Assuming the 'hollow-ness' is not used for anything, which I don't think it is then, expanding foam; cut back to just below surface; filler and sanded back and then some form of sticky-back plastic film covering the whole lot, tucked under the frame and finished off fully around the edges.

With respect, that doesn't sound very stable.

Someone in high heels standing on it will puncture it within seconds.

No I could only find a few parts a friend suggested getting a fascia board and cut to the same shape

I don't think that's very likely, people in high heels generally have their wits about them and consider where they're walking/stepping.

A fascia capping would also work, you can get end caps too to finish the ends.

You don't stand on that bit. It's a rain deflector.

It sticks out a much doesn't it, at 2 bricks up its a trip hazard. Maybe cut it down to half that and cover with something thicker

Would a repair not stand out?
Better to replace in this instance, i think.

@aveatry Its a standard door step, we have the same in this house, exactly the same in the last house,
@Odds Normally the cill sits under the door so that's gonna be easy isn't it.

Stick some duck tape over it in that case.

Dynamite will sort that out..

Over your mouth would be more useful.
