Hi

Recently had a new kitchen fitted and had a new upvc door changed at the same.

Now every time we get heavy rain, water collects on the bottom of the door (images attached) and leaks into the house.

Is there a way to stop this?

In the threshold where the water collects there should be 2 slots, one at each end, these should be enough to drain away that little water, please confirm you have these first
 
There’s no holes at the bottom, just two screws which I assume hold the frame in place?
 
No, there is only two screws, which I assume hold the frame in place?
 
There's your problem then, whoever fitted the door should come back and fix, ideally the door needs to be removed to check the exit holes are there too as they need drilling upwards
 
1. Water will **** in if door not locked. Does door have weather bar near bottom - it stops most water running down door into frame.

2. Flat pvc trim outside might be blocking weep holes or the cobble or sand
3. the frame mightnt be sealed at bottom corners - slowly pour some water onto bottom section at outer wall. If it goes into frame and then floor gets wet From corners under frame. Worst case scenario
