uPVC Door Repairs

uPVC doors are built to last, but they rely on hinges, a multipoint locking strip and seals that all wear over time. When one of those gives out, the door drops, sticks, or won't lock. None of this usually means a new door — it means a repair.

Common uPVC door problems we fix

• The door has dropped — it scrapes the frame or won't seal at the top.
• The multipoint lock won't work — the handle turns but the door won't lock or unlock.
• The handle is loose or spins — the internal mechanism or gearbox has gone.
• The door won't close fully — usually hinges or an out-of-line keep.
• Draughts or a stiff lock — seals and alignment.

What it typically costs

Prices are typical, not a quote — we confirm the fixed price before any work.

Fix	Typical price
uPVC door adjustment	from £50
Latch or keep repair	from £50
Lock mechanism or gearbox replacement	depends on the part — we quote first
Full door replacement	rarely needed — we'll only suggest it if it genuinely is

Can you fix it yourself?

• Hinge adjustment is sometimes DIY — many uPVC doors have adjustable hinges you can tweak with an Allen key to lift a dropped door.
• Cleaning and lubricating the locking strip and hinges can free a stiff mechanism.

But the multipoint lock itself is a different story:

• If the gearbox has failed, forcing the handle can seize the door shut — or leave it unlocked. That's a job for a professional with the right parts.

When to call a professional

Call us if the door won't lock, the handle spins without engaging, or your adjustments haven't fixed the drop. A door that won't lock is a security issue — don't leave it overnight.

We'll diagnose what's actually failed, quote a fixed price, and in most cases fix it the same visit. Repairing a uPVC door is almost always far cheaper than replacing it.

Call our team or request a callback and tell us what the door's doing.
