    I'd look closely to see where the damp is getting in and if you can seal it.
    I can vouch for a spray of wd40 on the frame meantime.
    You can get cheap but normal sandpaper in poundland or local diy.
    I was donated a roll of sandpaper by a decorator which seems to last forever. From a builders merchants. 

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well

    On the chance that we may fit an entirely new one though, and we wanted to a specific colour (tangerine), roughly how much might we expect to pay (for a good composite one)? 
    You can get a composite door from around £5-800, installation will be on top of that. It depends on the size, whether you have side panels etc.

    Or sandpaper for a couple of quid and a tin of tangerine (if you insist!!) paint for a tenner perhaps
    MSE? ;-)
    A COUPLE OF QUID! Where are you shopping for sandpaper Mr fancy pants ;P (sorry, just had to get extra MSE there)

    OK - between three and four quid
    ;)
