Composite back door dropped

Our composite back door has dropped slightly, you can still open and close it but you have to put a bit of weight behind it and almost 'lift' it to clear the frame each time. There are screws on the hinges where the hinge meets the frame, is it just a case of loosening them, supporting and lifting the door slightly and re-tightening?
The fitters are based about 60 miles away so doubt they'd come out just to adjust it - its been fitted 2 1/2 years approx

Hinges on uPVC doors are adjustable in various directions.
Depends on the fittings of your composite door, but all I've seen have similar hinges (to uPVC doors)0 -
It probably needs what is known as toeing and heeling. When my front door dropped on one corner. The supplier/fitter came round and took the glazing units out. Levered the door back into shape and refitted the glazing. It has been ok ever since. A 15 minute job for someone who knows what they are doing.
There is a good You Tube video on the subject0
