The door to my bathroom is a sliding pocket door (it recedes into the wall), it seems to have come off the track and now I can't open or close it. It's the back roller (of course the one in the wall) that has come off. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, there is no easy solution..the sheetrock has to be cut out, door redone, re taped and floated and painted on the sheetrock removal. Depending on the size, it would be cheaper to cut the door off to where it is countersunkpast the opening, then framed in and hang a regular door..some may answer here A easy solution, but in reality there is none..I have paintedd 37 years, all my other uncles are in the construction buisness and we have had to do this many times...We usually end up framing one in as suggested here..sorry...but if it could accidently be popped back in..the same problem will occur over and over again being a non ending issue...The rollers get wore out after A period of time...and they can be A pain...

If you can't lift the door and get it back on the track, you'll have to take the door frame apart to get at the door. This will require removal of one of the header moulding pieces and probably the door jamb that the door comes out of on one side of the door frame. The side to remove is the side where the rollers on the top of the door open up to. This is because you'll need to swing the door out to reseat the rollers. This causes the rollers to tilt back, enabling you to hook them over the roller track.
Once the door is properly seated, you can adjust the nuts at the top of the roller mechanism to level the door, if necessary. Then, put the door jamb back together, fill any nail or screw holes, caulk any large gaps, and repaint it.
It's a real pain to do. But, if you can't get the door reseated on the roller track with the door jamb intact, this is the only way to do it.

push in on the bottom side of the door as you pull out on the topside of the door
the door will slide out easier and then you can slip it back on the track
bathroom doors receive the most abuse in any house
sounds like it might be time to install a new slider track
