Broken Moulding On White Panel Door Rebuilt

The top corner of this white gloss panel door had lost a chunk of its moulding. Where the ogee profile turns the corner, the timber had broken away, leaving a chalky, chipped void that interrupted the crisp shadow lines of the panel. This door moulding corner repair rebuilt the broken profile and matched the gloss white finish so the corner reads as new.

A clean break like this usually follows a sharp knock, furniture being moved past or a door swinging into something hard at just the wrong point. Moulded corners are delicate, and once the profile is gone the eye is drawn straight to the gap. Our technician rebuilt the missing moulding by hand, recreating the curves and bead of the original ogee, then finished it in matching gloss white. The work was carried out in situ with the door left hanging.

Rebuilding a run of moulding is where DIY repairs most often show, because recreating a sharp profile freehand and matching a high gloss white without a dull patch is genuinely skilled work. Magicman shapes and refinishes mouldings as a professional service. The after image shows the corner profile restored, the lines continuous and the gloss even across the join.
