Is this fixable?

Dr Nic

Hi there
My lovely pup chewed a bit of a door frame. Is it fixable and can anyone recommend someone to do it.
In limerick area....
Will pay anything for a good job! Well almost anything anyway...
Thanks so much!

Yes its fixable either a patch job or pro job the pro job not as noticeable would be to cut off the entire rebate bone
Fill and sand the scratch marks out of the stile
Glue and pin a new 20x12mm or whatever size matches red deal square section on as a new bone
Re varnish door
Feed dog ( joke)
Wouldn't know anyone around your area I'm in the east

Small tedious job like that are a hard one to price as it might only take a few hrs say 3 hrs but it's still the day used up for a lad I'd reckon a saturday morning job 100€ would easily cover it
Now you'll get people saying wouldnt pay more than 50€ or the other end wouldn't leave the house for at least 150€ Depends on who you get good luck with it

I would just buy a new door, work out cheaper and be a better job. Looking at a patched up door is a disaster.

Replacing the damaged wood is straightforward , it's getting a match on the colour afterwards could be more difficult especially if it's a prefinished door , even if you use the same timber and lacquer/ varnish it will take a few months for the new piece to blend in , have a similar job lined up this week where doors have shrunk due to excessive heating and frames being a bit wide to begin with, they need 8-12 mm added to them to make them look respectable

Wait two years and then buy a new door.

Don't know about it been cheaper
It's double doors chances are they're glazed
New glazed red deal door c170€
Also lucky to match up glass panel design or
Four panel red deal door c100€
Resize new door to dbl door frame I've seen some beauties
Route out rebate
Hang door
Fit leaf door bolts and line up receiver
Wait a year or two for the colour to blend in
Can't imagine less than 100€ would get you out on labour
By just replacing the bone at least there's a definite line that breaks the joint so colour matching wouldn't jump out as much. I reckon.

Rub a freshly cut chilli on whatever the dog is chewing, that will put a stop to it

That will drive the dog simple, walk the dog would be a better solution.
