Σχετικά με την υπηρεσία
Doors take a surprising amount of punishment. They are slammed by the wind, kicked by children, leaned on, swollen by winter damp and baked by summer sun. Eventually something gives: a hinge pulls out of the frame, a panel cracks or the bottom edge starts to rot.
The good news is that most door damage can be repaired. A skilled carpenter or handyman can often restore a door with far less cost and disruption than replacing it, while keeping original doors that suit the character of an older home in Limassol's old town or a traditional village house.
Door Damage Pros Repair Most Often
- Forced entry damage: split frames, torn keeps and cracked door edges after a break-in or lockout.
- Loose or broken hinges: screws that have stripped their holes, or hinges that have bent.
- Water and sun damage: swollen or rotting bottom edges, peeling varnish and cracked panels on exterior doors.
- Holes and dents: punctures in hollow-core internal doors.
- Sliding door faults: worn rollers, bent tracks and broken handles on aluminium patio doors.
- Broken glazing: cracked glass panels in internal or entrance doors.
How Door Repairs Are Done
The method depends on the material. On timber doors, damaged sections can be cut out and spliced with new wood, then filled, sanded and refinished. Stripped screw holes are plugged and re-drilled so hinges hold firmly again. A frame split by forced entry is glued, clamped and reinforced, sometimes with a metal plate behind the keep.
Aluminium and uPVC doors usually need replacement parts rather than carpentry: rollers, hinges, handles, gaskets or glazing beads sourced to match the profile. Hollow-core doors with small holes can be patched, although a large hole may make a new leaf the better option.
Repair or Replace?
Repair makes sense when the core of the door and frame is sound. If rot has spread through the leaf, the door has twisted badly or parts for an old sliding system are no longer made, a pro may suggest replacement in their offer, and you can weigh that against the repair quotes.
Costs depend on the type and extent of damage, the door material, the parts needed, refinishing work and whether glass has to be cut to size. Safety glass in doors should always be replaced with a suitable toughened or laminated pane.

Γιατί να επιλέξετε αυτή την υπηρεσία
Save Doors Worth Keeping
Solid timber and original doors often have years of life left. Repairing them preserves character and avoids hunting for a replacement that may not match.
Secure Again After Break-ins
Forced entry often splits frames and tears out keeps. Pros can rebuild and reinforce the damaged area so the door locks securely once more.
Parts for Sliding Systems
Worn rollers and broken handles on aluminium patio doors are common. Experienced pros know how to identify and source parts that match your profile.
Honest Repair Advice
When a door really is beyond saving, pros can say so in their offer, so you can compare repair and replacement before deciding.
