Perfect, thank you very much. I can get that from Dulux Decorator Centre, and keep the other half happy by doing it tomorrow.
Do I just paint over the top of it as normal? I have used the Weathershield paint set previously.

I usually prime it with Zinnser 123 or Coverstain. It seems paintable with pretty much anything, Weathershield should be fine.
Once it's dried I usually shape it with a plane or chisels as much as possible then sand lightly to make it smooth. If you have to sand it a lot it can heat up and gets a bit messy.
If you need to fill small surface imperfections you're supposed to use the repaircare fine surface filler. I've used toupret wood filler in the past and it's not failed after 6+ years.
They have some useful videos :-

There are a few 2 part epoxy resins made for this purpose. My preference is DryFlex from Repaircare. Cost of entry to the 'system' is quite expensive, if you plan on doing this kind of work again in the future it is worthwhile and the epoxy resins lasts at least a couple of years in an open tube.
