The other way is to make your new stuff from wood using a router and
home cut router blades. You buy a block - eg

That is actually a cutter for a spindle moulder rather than a router,
but as you say, it may well do what you need.

and cut your own blades to match the existing profile. With that you
can make lots of new wood moulding.

Not sure if anyone has ever tried it - but you may be able to machine a
plaster "blank" into the profile you want.



I have no idea which is quicker / easier.

A spindle moulder will make lots of profiled material in a very short
space of time.

For small sections you can often get close to a profile by making
multiple passes with a router and various blades, to make up the more
complex moulding from components. Even a combination of off the shelf
mouldings and covings can sometimes be glued together to make an
approximation.
