UPVC Door damage. Repair Kit?

[lucasprss]

I had to drill a hole in my door as I was fitting a new lock but the chuck to the drill damaged the UPVC door. How can I fix this, the wife is mad! Any one recommend a repair kit, or a way to fix this.

Ha ha good ol chuck rash, happens every day in the upvc fitting world, is she really that bothered, its only cosmetic after all?

There are wax repair kits for small repairs as this but very tricky to get a good finish if your a beginer but worth a go

Safe to say Im in the dog house (new house).. Ok give the kit a go... Whats the worst that can happen

Pull the rubber out the way, then start building up layers of wax using a soldering iron, the kit is expensive but it includes a gas powered soldering iron, as well as everything you need, just buy the hard wax sticks and get a soldering iron from elsewhere, make sure it has a flat blade type head so you can load it up with wax, oh and don't get the iron too hot, the wax will just disappear

Thanks for your reply, I was looking at UPVC

Fillerhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eve...Scrapbooking_Glue_Tape_EH&hash=item2ebdd8d04b

What you think?

Hmmmmm NO! If you were to use that then divorce would surely follow, that is used as a frame sealant much like silicone

Best bet is a white 2 part filler. Cuprinol do one. It's like car body filler but white.

I have had success rebuilding the bottom seal of a UPVC door frame that was broken. It is very difficult to see that there is a repair!
The following products were used:
*Unibond Repair Power Epoxy: glue that rely sticks well to UPVC
*Blue-Gee Microfibres : Thickener for epoxy Resins, making the glue into a filler. This is available from shops that sell parts for boats. http://www.bluegee.co.uk/product/bonding-additive-microfibres-250ml/
This sands down very easily.
*PVCU primer : I used a CROWN trade primer, but there are many available.
* Gloss white paint to finish
