My UPVC door looks like it needs a new seal?

The door is letting in water and when I close it it looks like the seals aren't meeting well enough.
Is this just a case of replacing the seal and is it an easy job to do.
Unfortunately I don't know the make or model of door.

I meant fix not fox in the first line! Too early in the morning!

It is easy to fox as my door did the same after our cat pawed the bottom corner. You need to know the profile of the gasket as they come in different types such as bubble, wedge and flipper etc. You then need to measure some key sizes of the gasket such as the bubble height and the foot width/ depth (part that pushes into the frame).

Then go online and google for upvc door gasket or look on ebay and your away from there!

Couple of suupliers I'm aware of are HD Hardware (p+p is £6.50 though for small items but free if order over £60) and Window Supplies Unlimited (who trade on ebay).

Else try at your local glazing company - you could then cut out and take a small (and I mean small and from top edge so water ingress doesn't become a bigger issue) piece with you to show them.

Good Luck!
