My flat has one of those PVC (plastic?) front doors set into the (old) wooden
frame. Although it's all pretty secure, there are cracks/gaps which were
probably created when the new door was put in, but never rectified.

Is there any widely-available sealant I can use to cover these up - i.e.
something that will adhere well to PVC/wood/paint?

Cheers ... Mark

Silicone is the common one which will adhere to virtually anything but of
course won't take paint. So unless you can find a suitable self coloured
one - it comes in clear, white, black, brown - you'd best use a
polyurethane sealer.

Here's a reasonably priced source if you can't find it locally - but check
for postage costs before buying.

Try acryclic frame sealer.
It takes paint, which silicone doesn't.

Not as rubbery as silicone, so make sure frame is well fixed in place first.
