Hi you can get odd sized doors in lots of different styles I would say three to four hours work depending on the furniture you want putting in the door.

Buy a door to the nearest size available and can be fitted to the opening

Made-to-measure door: This is typically more expensive but ensures a perfect fit. Costs can vary widely depending on the material and style, but you might expect to pay between £150-£400 for the door itself, plus installation costs of around £80-£150.
Buying a standard door and trimming: This is often a more cost-effective option. You could purchase a door slightly larger than your opening for about £40-£120, depending on the style and material. Our handyman service can then trim and hang the door for you. This service typically costs around £100-£200, depending on the amount of trimming required and any additional work needed (like painting or adding hardware).

For the most accurate quote, we'd need to see the specific measurements of your doorway and discuss your preferences for the door style. We'd be happy to schedule a free on-site assessment to provide you with a detailed estimate.

Remember, with FIX IT RIGHT HANDYMAN SERVICES, you're getting quality workmanship and attention to detail, ensuring your new door will look great and function perfectly.

Would you like to schedule an assessment or do you have any other questions we can help with?

Due to different door construction and style not all doors can be trimmed. Consult a carpenter and joiner as there are a range of sizes of doors as standard

Sohail · Answer

Bath doors mostly smaller than standard size doors anyway,if its 68cm width u can get it from many places,if its odd size then its bit tricky,u have give measurements to a Joiner/Carpenter and ask if they can help with that
There's only few mm doors could be trimmed

Mohammed · Answer

Hi Paula,
I would advise you to order the door closest to the measured door frame. As a joiner my self, I would for example come down & cut down the door, trim & hang this for you. This would cost £80-100 as this is a non standard internal door.

Hi , it all depends on how much smaller the opening is to a standard door size as to how much you can trim off the standard door to fit, if your taking to much off the door to fit it and it's a hollow door not solid you can lose the strength of the door , so all depends on the difference in size hope this helps
