Why repair your sliding door in Cranleigh?
Most sliding door problems come down to a handful of worn parts, and a repair is often far cheaper than a new door:
Before calling out anyone in Cranleigh 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.
Is the patio door in your Cranleigh house leaking at the bottom after heavy rain? Check the drainage slots in the outer frame are clear before assuming a seal has failed.
- 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.
- Quoting from photos and a short video means many repairs can be priced without a visit, saving time and the diagnostic visit charge for straightforward jobs.

From photos to fixed door in Cranleigh
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 GU6 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 Cranleigh?
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.
Repairs and upgrades to consider
- Roller replacement. New rollers for each sliding panel, restoring a smooth, quiet action.
- Misted unit replacement. A new sealed safety glass unit in place of one that has failed.
- Lock and gearbox replacement. A new mechanism when the handle turns but the door will not lock.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Cranleigh
Is it worth repairing an old sliding door in Cranleigh?
Often, yes. New rollers, a lock gearbox or a track refurbishment cost a fraction of a new door. If the frame is twisted or the door fails on thermal performance, we will say so and price a replacement instead.
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.
What photos should I send for a repair quote?
Send a photo of the whole door from inside, close-ups of the handle, the lock edge and the bottom track, and any label or marking on the frame or glass spacer. A short video of the door opening and closing is especially helpful. Tell us roughly how old the door is and what it is doing wrong.
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.
