Moved into a property with fairly old upvc doors. The front door has a glass panel insert in the top half of the door, horizontally centered about 2/3 width of door.
I've noticed the glass can be moved from both sides and seems the seals and fascias have come away to some extent probably due to weathering and general age. Obviously this is a security risk as well as lost efficiency of heat retention.
The actual glass unit itself looks to be fine so I wonder can this just be resealed? I don't really want to do it myself when it is security at stake so ballpark what might such a repair cost?
I know it's not quite the same but having had a bathroom window unit replaced for a fairly small fee I am hoping this wouldn't be too expensive and fairly quick? Ultimately the door would be replaced but think it has some life left in it for now.
