How much does it cost to repair a garage door in the UK?

On average, garage door repair costs in the UK are between £100 and £400, including labour.

Minor fixes like cable replacements are on the lower end, while more complex repairs (like motor or spring replacements) can cost more.

Compare the prices above to the average cost of a replacement garage door, which ranges from £895–£2,500, and garage servicing and repair is a cost-effective option.

Do I need an emergency garage door repair service?

If you use your garage on a day-to-day basis and you're worried it's posing a safety or a security risk, it’s worth calling for emergency garage door repair. This is especially true for snapped cables and springs.

How often should a garage door be serviced?

Most experts recommend a full garage door service once a year. Regular servicing:

• Keeps the door running smoothly
• Helps identify wear and tear early
• Can extend the lifespan of both manual and electric garage doors

Is it worth repairing an old garage door, or should I replace it?

If your garage door is more than 15–20 years old and the list of repairs are adding up, replacement might be more cost-effective.

However, if it’s just a single issue like a broken spring or faulty opener, a repair can often restore it to full working order.
