Invado Door Replacement in Warsaw: When to Call Someone In

Repair or replace?

Invado makes interior doors and frames in Poland. Like any door with a foil or laminate finish, the weak spots are the bottom edge and the area around the handle. Once water gets under the finish, the board swells and never goes back to its shape.

A repair is enough when the door has dropped, squeaks, or the latch misses the strike plate. A tradesperson adjusts the hinges, moves the strike plate, lubricates the hardware. Usually a short visit.

Replacement makes sense when the leaf is warped, swollen or cracked, or when the frame itself is crooked. A new leaf in an old twisted frame won’t swing properly, which is why the whole set often gets replaced.

One thing to check straight away: does the bathroom door have ventilation? If not, a new leaf without vent inserts or a gap underneath will swell just like the old one.

Mistakes that end with a new door

• Washing the door with a wet cloth from the bottom up. Water soaks into the exposed edge.
• Hanging heavy bags on the handle and leaf. The hinges loosen and the door sags.
• Buying a new leaf from the sticker on the old one without measuring the opening.
• Fitting without spacers. The foam bows the frame and the problem is back within a week.
• No air gap in the bathroom, as above.

What to have ready

• Close-up photos of the damage and one of the whole door from a distance.
• The opening size and wall thickness if you’re replacing.
• Whether the new doors are already bought, or you want help with measuring.

Ordering through the app

Describe what’s wrong in the app and add the photos to the order. From those, a tradesperson can tell before coming out whether it’s a repair or a replacement. Bids come in with each person’s own price and dates.

You pick one on price, ratings and reviews, and only then are contact details shared. You pay the tradesperson directly; the invoice is theirs.

Fixings and foam are normally in the labour price, while the doors, removing the old ones and carrying in the new ones are extra. Whoever fitted the door answers for that fitting and redoes it if needed. Damp walls and hidden defects in the masonry are not on him.
