Hello! I was wondering did you ever find a solution? I have the same
question now in 2020 and have not had much success so far.
The trim has loosened and come off. Many thanks!


I find epoxy works well for most applications and I would expect it to
work
well here.

Car body filler is cheaper and probably better



Car body filler would stick well to a (rough) render but would it stick
to a smooth piece of metal? However if car body filler was used and the
metal surround falls off there would be a smooth car body filler surface
where the metal came away from and sticking the smooth metal to this
smooth surface would be easier with some other form of thin film glue.

My experiment glueing a concrete slab with two part (car body) filler
The final photo shows one side of the slab clamped to the arm of a bench
whilst the other side is loaded with bricks.
