How Much Does It Cost to Repair a Garage Door?

One of the most common questions we’re asked is, “How much will it cost to repair my garage door?”
The truth is — it depends entirely on the type of repair needed and the condition of your door.

At SmartLift Garage Doors, we pride ourselves on honest advice and transparent pricing, so here’s what you should know before booking a repair.

🔧 Not All Garage Door Repairs Are the Same

Some garage door issues can be fixed quickly without needing any new parts — for example:

• Re-tensioning cables or springs

• Adjusting door alignment

• Lubricating and servicing moving parts

These are usually simple, low-cost repairs, often sorted within a single visit.

However, if your door needs replacement parts such as cables, springs, rollers, or motor components, the price can vary depending on:

• The type and size of your door (canopy, retractable, sectional, or roller)

• The brand and model of parts required

• The extent of the damage

💷 Typical Garage Door Repair Costs

While prices vary, here’s a general guide to what you can expect:

• Minor service or adjustment – from around £89

• Cable replacement – from £89–£200

• Spring replacement – from £120–£280

• Automation or motor repair – quoted individually

• Full mechanism overhaul – quoted individually

These prices include professional labour, inspection, and safety checks — so you know your door is repaired safely and built to last.

⚠️ Why Professional Repair Matters

Garage doors are heavy and operate under high tension. Trying to fix one yourself can lead to serious injury or make the problem worse — often costing more in the long run.

A qualified technician will:
✅ Diagnose the issue correctly
✅ Use the right tools and genuine parts
✅ Make sure your door is balanced, safe, and reliable
