Can rotten wood be repaired or should it be replaced?
The extent of deterioration and type of woodwork will determine whether it should be replaced or repaired. If the damage is extensive and the profile of woodwork is available, it might make sense to replace it. PVC is now available in many profiles and can be sawn, sanded and painted just like wood. If the damage is minimal, or the woodwork is unique, it can be repaired using epoxy consolidants and fillers, which are sanded, primed and painted to look indistinguishable from the original.
