UPVC window sill / architrave replacement?

wallofbeans

Hi All,

I've just had a room replastered and some of the architrave around the UPVC windows could do with replacing. I didn't put the windows in but would like to get it to match the others in the house if possible. Any ideas where I get this stuff, how much it might cost and if it can come pre cut to fit?

On top of that, one of the small window sills has some damage to the end, and I'm wondering if I can buy something to go over the top of both the damaged one and the other in the same room so they match? Replacing it seems like it might be a lot more work... 

Here's some pics for reference:

Google upvc supplies in your local area, plenty about, trims look about 50mm, cost about £7 for 5 Mtr length .
That cill I would just trim back from the damaged end, plus cut the other side to match up.

So I just get a length of the stuff and cut it to size? And there are standard lengths and styles etc?

If I cut the window sill back beyond the damage they'll be nothing left of the sides and it will look a bit odd I think. Could something like the below work?

Yes there a standard 5mtr length, different sizes and profiles, just cut them in half or  bend into a circle and tape to get them into your car.
yes you could use the cill from euro, but you’ll still have the ends to seal

plus that cill on the left is far to long, usually only about 50mm past the frame.

That’s the cill without the architrave on though, so much less past the frame when they are there. 

The damaged one will be shorter than architrave if I cut it shorter…

The current architrave is 9.5cm wide.

WoB, that's a nice sash window. Sacrilege to trim that in flat-profile PVC.

If you used, say, 75mm or wider Ogee instead, I really think it would transform the window's appearance and actually give the whole room a lift.

Does anyone know what the thin lengths of wood that go around the frame and the architrave is attached to? One was damaged in plastering of walls and I can't figure out what it's called to look for a replacement.
