Sliding door repairs in Lichfield: what to know
Here is what usually goes wrong with sliding doors, and what can be done about it:
Before calling out anyone in Lichfield for a door that will not lock, check whether the panel has dropped: if the hooks no longer meet the keeps, adjustment may be all it needs.
When sending photos of a Lichfield door for a repair quote, include any label on the frame edge or spacer bar, because it can help identify the system and its parts.
- Misted sealed units can usually be replaced individually with new safety glass units, restoring the view and the insulation of that panel.
- Repairing or refurbishing a damaged track removes the dips and burrs that make rollers jump, which stops a panel coming off its track.
- A new lock gearbox or cylinder restores secure locking when a handle turns but the bolts no longer engage, without replacing the whole door.

Booking a sliding door repair in Lichfield
Send photos or a short video of the fault and we tell you the likely repair and cost before anyone visits. We then book a repair visit in the WS13 district at a time that suits you; most repairs are completed in a single visit, unless parts need ordering or a new glass unit must be made.
Do you need approval in Lichfield?
Like-for-like repairs such as new rollers, locks, handles or adjustment are not building work under the Building Regulations in England. If the whole door is replaced, it becomes a controlled fitting and the replacement rules apply.
What we can repair
- Track repair or refurbishment. Repairing damaged track sections, or fitting a new track cover where the system allows.
- Misted unit replacement. A new sealed safety glass unit in place of one that has failed.
- Roller replacement. New rollers for each sliding panel, restoring a smooth, quiet action.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Lichfield
Do you repair sliding doors in Lichfield?
Yes. We repair sliding doors in Lichfield and across Staffordshire, including nearby Burntwood. Send photos or a short video and we will tell you the likely fix and cost before booking a visit.
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.
Can you replace misted glass in a sliding door?
Yes, a misted sealed unit in a sliding door can usually be replaced on its own without changing the frame. The new unit is made to the size of the old one in safety glass, as glass in doors must be, and fitted into the existing panel. It is worth checking whether the frame is still sound first.
Can a sliding door track be repaired?
A damaged sliding door track can often be repaired or refurbished, depending on the door and how badly the track is worn. On some systems a replacement track cover can be fitted over a worn track, and on others a damaged section can be repaired. If the track is part of a frame that is failing more widely, replacement may be the better option.
