Anyone know what I can use to cover a scratch on a upvc French door? It's not a mark that can be washed off, sort of taken the white coating off, IYSWIM?

Good morning all,
DH went to work at 6am so I was up early making his pack up. Should have done it last night really but I was too busy relaxing on the Flylady sofa. Speaking of which I hope CY is ok xx
Today's personal list:
- 2 WM loads
- wash DD bedding in addition to said loads
- trip to potential volunteering organisation for a chat
- charity shop run
- collect new door handles
- get DH to fit said handles when he's home
- nip to MiLs
- take DD swimming
Have lovely Saturdays all xMFW

Having my morning coffee in bed, freshly brewed, something that DD brought home from her work (with permission, it would have been thrown as it was tested for quality control) I have just googled it to see what it retails at in that there London:eek: and it's lovely.
