What is Repair Care?
Unlike traditional two-part wood fillers that dry hard, become brittle, and eventually pop out when the weather changes, Repair Care is a flexible epoxy resin system. Wood naturally expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity. Repair Care is formulated to be flexible move with the wood, and ensure the repair remains structurally sound, watertight, and invisible once painted.
Repair Care is a specialist epoxy-based system designed for the permanent restoration and maintenance of decayed or damaged timber. Primarily used in the joinery, decorating, and heritage conservation sectors, it serves as a long-term alternative to replacing wooden elements entirely, As the industry standard for epoxy-based wood repair, Repair Care systems have revolutionised the way professionals tackle timber decay. Whether you’re dealing with a crumbling window cill or weather beaten fascias or keeping to the original features, here is everything you need to know about the uses and benefits of Repair Care.

Top Uses For Repair Care
Repair Care isn’t just for filling small nail holes; it is a structural repair system designed for heavy-duty restoration. Its most common uses include:
- 9Window cills and Frames: Window cills bear the brunt of the weather, making them highly susceptible to rot. Repair Care can rebuild entirely rotted corners and edges, saving the original frame.
- 9 External Doors: The bottom rails and frames of exterior doors frequently absorb moisture. Instead of buying a completely new door, the decayed timber can be routed out and seamlessly replaced with resin or a timber splice bonded with Repair Care.
- 9Fascias and Soffits: High up and hard to maintain, roofline timbers are prime targets for wet rot. Repairing them in situ is often much easier and cheaper than tearing them down.
- 9Heritage and Conservation Work: For listed buildings where preserving the original architectural features is a legal requirement, Repair Care allows professionals to save historic timber that would otherwise be lost forever.
- 9Splicing Timbers: When a large section of wood is beyond saving, Repair Care is used as a high-strength adhesive to bond a new piece of timber (a "splice") into the healthy wood.

The Key Benefits of Choosing Repair Care
Why Do Professionals Recommend This System Over Standard Carpentry Repairs Or Cheap Fillers?
Incredible Durability
Because the epoxy resin remains permanently elastic, it won’t shrink, crack, or fall out over time. It creates a permanent, watertight seal that stops moisture from re entering the wood.
Cost-Effective
Replacing custom-made or period timber windows and doors costs a small fortune. Repair Care allows you to target only the damaged areas, leaving the healthy wood intact. This significantly reduces material and labor costs compared to a full replacement.
Environmentally Friendly
Every piece of wood we can save is a win for the environment. By restoring rather than replacing, you are reducing waste in landfills and cutting down on the demand for new timber harvesting.
A Flawless, Paintable Finish
Once cured, Repair Care can be sanded, planed, and profiled just like real wood. It also takes paint and stains beautifully. Once the decorator is finished, you won’t even be able to tell where the original wood ends and the repair begins.
