What pushes a repair price up or down
Door type and size
A single roller door and a double sectional are different jobs. Heavier doors need stronger springs, longer cables and more time to balance, so they land higher in each range.
The part that failed
Resetting a limit switch is quick; replacing a torsion spring set or a logic board is not. The part and its price usually decide more of the bill than the labour.
Knock-on damage
A door driven with a snapped cable often ends up with a bent track or cracked roller as well. Every extra fault is priced and agreed with you before it is fixed.
When you need it
Nights, weekends and public holidays can attract a surcharge on top of the repair. You hear the amount on the phone before anyone is sent.
Door age and access
Low ceilings, discontinued brands and doors that have gone years without a service all add time. Estate homes from the 1990s and 2000s in places like Ellenbrook and Canning Vale often have several parts wearing out together.
Common jobs and what shapes the quote
A loud bang, then a door that won't lift
Almost always a torsion spring. Whether one or both get replaced, and whether a cable unwound at the same moment, decides where it lands. Spring replacement costs are broken down on their own page.
Motor hums but the door stays put
A stripped gear, a failed capacitor or a door too heavy for the opener. If the unit is old or the part is no longer made, a new opener can work out cheaper over time.
Reversed into the door
Panel damage, bent tracks and pulled cables tend to arrive together. Photos and the door's make narrow it down, though older colours may have no matching panel left.
Grinding, squealing or shuddering
Usually rollers, hinges or dry bearings. Caught early it's a hinges-and-rollers job or a service; ignored, it can end with the door off its tracks.
Repair or replace: where your money goes further
Most single faults are worth fixing, because a spring, cable or roller set costs a fraction of a new door. The sums change when several parts are worn at once or the door itself is damaged. If you're weighing up a new one, look at the doors we supply and fit.
Repair is usually better when
- Only one part has failed and the panels are sound
- The door is straight, runs evenly and still suits the house
- Parts for your make and model are still available
- The opener works and just needs a remote, sensor or adjustment
Replacement may be better when
- Several sections are dented, rusted or splitting
- You're paying for a second or third major repair in a short time
- It's an old tilt or roller door whose parts are no longer made
- You wanted insulation, a quieter door or a new look anyway

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the part. As a guide, one broken spring typically runs $200–$350, a snapped cable $140–$300, re-hanging a door that has left its tracks $150–$300 and an opener repair $180–$420. These are approximate market ranges including GST, taken from published price guides, not our own rate card. Your exact price is confirmed on site before any work starts.
Broken springs, by a wide margin. Springs are made for a limited number of open-and-close cycles, and a door used several times a day reaches that limit sooner. Cables, worn rollers and opener faults follow. Our spring repair service explains what happens when one lets go.
Usually, yes. One failed part on an otherwise sound door is almost always cheaper to fix than to replace. It stops being worth it when the panels are damaged, parts have dried up, or an old door is heading into a run of repairs.
A standard new door, supplied and installed, typically falls within $1,300–$5,900. A single roller door sits at the lower end and a double sectional toward the top. That is several times the cost of most single repairs, which is why fixing a sound door is normally the better spend.
No. We don't charge a call-out fee. You get the price for the repair on site before any work starts, and nothing is done until you've agreed to it.
They can. Nights, weekends and public holidays may carry a surcharge on top of the repair. Published figures for it vary too widely to print one here, so we tell you the amount on the phone before anyone is sent.
Some jobs, yes: remote batteries, cleaning the safety beam lenses and lubricating hinges and rollers. Springs and cables carry the door's full weight under tension and injure people who handle them without the proper tools, so leave those to a technician.
