Repair or replace: sliding doors in Mitcham
Before you replace a sliding door, it is worth knowing which faults can be put right:
If a sliding door at your Mitcham home has started to drag, clean the bottom track thoroughly before booking anything, as grit alone can cause the problem.
Where an older sliding door in Mitcham has several faults at once, such as misted glass, worn rollers and a failing lock, compare the total repair cost with a replacement before deciding.
- Replacing worn rollers is often enough to bring back the light, smooth action of a sliding panel that has become heavy and noisy to open.
- A well-maintained, repaired door can give years more service, making a repair a sensible first step when the frame and glass are otherwise sound.
- Repairing or refurbishing a damaged track removes the dips and burrs that make rollers jump, which stops a panel coming off its track.

Booking a sliding door repair in Mitcham

Rules for sliding door repairs in England
Repairs are generally outside the Building Regulations in England. Any replacement glass we fit in a door is safety glazing, in line with Approved Document K, and if the door needs replacing rather than repairing, the controlled-fitting rules apply.
Common repairs and upgrades
- Roller replacement. New rollers for each sliding panel, restoring a smooth, quiet action.
- Track repair or refurbishment. Repairing damaged track sections, or fitting a new track cover where the system allows.
- Handle replacement. Replacing broken or loose handles, including key-lockable versions.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Mitcham
Do you repair sliding doors in Mitcham?
Yes. We repair sliding doors in Mitcham and across Greater London, including nearby Morden. Send photos or a short video and we will tell you the likely fix and cost before booking a visit.
How do I know if my sliding door rollers need replacing?
Sliding door rollers usually need replacing when the panel becomes hard to push, rumbles or grinds as it moves, sits lower at one end or jumps off the track. Cleaning the track first is worth trying, because grit can cause similar symptoms. If the door is still heavy once the track is clean, the rollers are likely worn or broken.
Is there a free survey for sliding door repairs?
No, our free survey applies to new doors and replacements only. Repairs are quoted from photos and a short video you send us, or after a diagnostic visit where photos are not enough. If a visit is needed, the diagnostic visit costs £95 inc VAT and is confirmed before we attend, so you know where you stand.
How can I stop my sliding door needing repairs?
Keeping the track clean is the most effective way to keep a sliding door running well, because grit wears rollers and damages the track surface. Vacuum the track regularly, wipe it with a damp cloth, keep drainage slots clear and avoid slamming panels into their stops. Our maintenance guide has a simple routine.
