Door Repair Services in Bristol
Most door faults are repair jobs, not replacement jobs. A door that won't close is usually a hinge or alignment issue. A door that won't lock is usually a handle, cylinder, or mechanism fault. Both are fixable without buying a new door.
We repair uPVC, composite, French, and patio doors across Bristol and treat locking and security faults as a priority. We carry the most common parts with us, so most jobs are completed in a single visit.

Door repair pricing
Our minimum charge for any door repair is £120 + VAT. Most common door repairs — handles, locks, realignment — have a fixed price that we agree with you before any work starts.
If we carry out multiple repairs on the same visit, additional items are usually cheaper. We'll always give you a clear total before we begin.
My door won't close — what's wrong with it?
A door that won't close flush has usually dropped on its hinges. Over time the hinges wear, the door settles a few millimetres, and it starts catching on the frame or threshold. The fix is a hinge adjustment or replacement — usually done in under an hour.
If the door closes but won't lock, the fault is usually the multipoint locking mechanism or the keep (the metal plate on the frame that the lock hooks engage). This is a parts repair, not a replacement job.
If your door glass is misted or broken, the glass panel can be replaced without changing the door itself.
In all three cases, repair is almost always the right answer. We only recommend a new door when the frame or slab itself has failed and repair no longer makes financial sense.
We also repair aluminium doors — handles, hinges, locks, and glass.
