How much does a garage door repair cost?

The average cost of a garage door repair could be up to £800 - or beyond - according to Checkatrade, depending on the issues, type of door and material it's made from.

Manual up and over doors often suffer from common faults which can compromise the security of your garage's contents, or prevent you gaining access to your car and more.

Whether it's a torsion spring that's snapped, a dent in one of the panels, or broken tracks, instead of spending hundreds of pounds fixing an old garage door - which could fail again - you could upgrade to a new Garolla electric door with a free five-year warranty from £995.

Why choose a new Garolla garage door?

Garolla electric roller doors are designed to provide lasting durability, enhanced security and maximum convenience. When you choose a Garolla door, you’re not just upgrading your garage; you’re making a long-term investment that saves you time, money and effort. 

Here’s why replacing your old door with Garolla is the ultimate solution:

Garage door repair vs replacement FAQs

The cost of repairing a garage door can vary significantly based on the issue. Simple repairs might cost around £100-£200, but more complex repairs, such as replacing a torsion spring or fixing a track, could cost up to £800 or more. We find that if multiple components are failing, a full replacement is often the most cost-effective solution.

At Garolla, our Transform electric roller garage doors start from just £895, including professional installation and a five-year warranty. This price ensures you get a high-quality, durable door without hidden costs.

If your garage door is relatively new and the issue is minor - such as a broken spring or misalignment - a repair could be the best option. However, if the door is older and experiencing frequent problems, a replacement is likely the better long-term investment.

Whilst painting your old garage door might seem like a cost-effective way to freshen its appearance, it’s only a temporary cosmetic fix. 

Peeling paint and weather damage will eventually require touch-ups. Upgrading to a new Garolla door provides a lasting, maintenance-free finish that won’t need regular repainting, thanks to the tough powder-coated finish of our slats.

Some minor repairs, like tightening screws or lubricating moving parts, can be done yourself. However, more complex issues, such as broken springs or malfunctioning openers, should be handled by professionals to avoid potential injury and further damage.

Signs that it’s time to replace your garage door include visible wear and tear (dents, cracks, rust), increased noise during operation, frequent breakdowns, and outdated technology that compromises security or convenience.

A Garolla electric roller door offers increased security, durability, energy efficiency, and convenience. Plus, every door comes with a five-year warranty and professional installation, giving you peace of mind that your investment is built to last.
