Sliding door repairs in Clydach: what to know
Here is what usually goes wrong with sliding doors, and what can be done about it:
When sending photos of a Clydach 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.
Where an older sliding door in Clydach 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.
- 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.
- A new lock gearbox or cylinder restores secure locking when a handle turns but the bolts no longer engage, without replacing the whole door.
- Adjusting a dropped or misaligned panel can cure draughts, rattles and a door that will not close fully against its seals.

Questions about sliding door repairs in Clydach
Do you repair sliding doors in Clydach?
Yes. We repair sliding doors in Clydach and across West Glamorgan, including nearby Pontardawe. 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.
Why won't my sliding door lock?
A sliding door that will not lock usually has a failed lock gearbox, a worn or broken keep, or a panel that has dropped so the hooks no longer line up with the frame. Forcing the handle can make it worse. Photos of the handle, the lock edge and the frame where the hooks engage usually show which part has failed.
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.
