Do you mean the timebauild expoxy resin rather than a Ronseal 2 part wood filler ?You can splice in some shims of timber with epoxy resin.
If it were interior woodwork, I would remove the hinge, wrap it polythene, fill the messed up cut out with 2 pack filler, push the hinge in to it, wait a few minutes and gingerly pull the hinge away without pulling the polythene.
When the 2K filler has hardened, you can pull away the polythene and sand away the excess on the frame.
I do it regularly. It works very well.
Unfortunately, it is not suitable for exterior work, hence the recommendation to use epoxy resin fillers.
The fact that he used an oscillating saw is very worrying.

Maybe you shouldn't let water in. Water will affect resin repair equally. The crack develops because of wood contraction after seal. The contraction stabilises if the wood continues to be sealed. Good quality oil paint acts like a stretchy jacket and will protect the crack even if it does happen. Any crack that shows through can then be maintenance repaired.I used to use it outdoors, overtime I noticed that it would develop hairline cracks that would left in moisture and whilst the 2K filler was fine, the timber it was in contact with would rot.
