Remove the rotten wood. Treat the rest. Bring it back up with filler. Sand it back to the original profile. Prime then paint or just varnish.
Just done something similar and it’s quite the ballache. If you can pay someone to do it, you probably should. They’ll strip all the paint / varnish off, sand it back then repair where needed then re finish.
For a quick fix You might find that sanding it back with a sanding sponge gets you to good wood fairly quickly - in which case fill the cracks then varnish. But the repair will be obvious unless you strip it all back.

Cheers, what did you use? I've seen some people recommending slapping on a couple of coats of yacht varnish as a quick fix if the finish doesn't have to be immaculate, tempted to give that a bash & see how it goes - it's the back patio doors & we're not expecting the queen round for cans in the garden anytime soon

The winter has not been kind to my back doors, how do I fix this & with what?
Is it just a case of rub it back a bit then brush on some new sealant / varnish - any recommendations for tried & trusted products? Doesn't have to be a flawless finish, just need to stop the doors rotting off
