One of the delightful children* who play on the green outside our house have put a 2 1/2"x 3/4" hole in the skin of our uPVC front door. It must have taken some doing! Does the group know of any product that would work to fill the hole or any other method of repair?

I've used SIKA/Everbuild 165 to weld PVC repairs, maybe you could cut a
'dutchman' from e.g. some PVC trunking/capping if the missing piece
isn't available? Adapt plasterboard patching methods to PVC? It's
probably going to be hard to disguise the repair well.

Are you sure its not courtesy of your local council flail cutters on the

Happened at the weekend and there is a wall, fence and our garden between us and the green, so I think that's unlikely.

Check your excess before claiming as a claim will go on your history and
the bill might be little more than your excess. So paying out might be
better than marring a claim free record.
I have heard that even asking insurers about whether to claim of not
will put it on your history irrespective of whether they have to pay.

Also some UPVC panels are fitted into the door in the same way as glass
would be and so could be exchangeable.

Stones do fly up at funny angles - my lawnmower flicked a stone up that
hit a double glazed window fully 5' off the ground. The impact spalled a
flake of glass off the inside surface of the outer pane of the double
glazing unit too but didn't amazingly break through or break the seal.

That expensive highly filled Sugru gunk sold in various colours might do
a crude repair to keep the weather out. I bought it on offer at Amazon
to qualify for free delivery and found to my surprise it was actually
quite good for what would otherwise be awkward repairs.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sugru-Mould...dp/B008URBC9I/

I have found it very good for damage to the weather seal on cars (a bit
too rigid but much better than a gap). Sticks OK to almost anything.

Otherwise maybe fitting a panel of the 6mm foamed PVC sheet over the
hole in such a way as to look intended and solvent glue.

If it's in a panel, rather than a "frame" bit of the door, they're
replaceable and inexpensive.

It is a panel, but it's a door sized panel not a small panel.

And replacing the door isnt likely to be unaffordable.

If it's on a panel, fit a new panel. Easy enough job.
Virtually impossible to repair invisibly.
Plenty of bodges you could do.

Still an offensive weapon and much harder to conceal, so they don’t.
