What Changes a Repair Quote
Door type
Sectional doors carry more hardware than roller doors, so the same fault can take longer to reach and reset. Roller-door faults are mostly the curtain, the guides and the spring in the drum.
What actually failed
A snapped cable and a broken spring look alike from the driveway; the part that has gone sets the price, not the symptom.
Parts on the van
Common springs, cables and rollers are carried as stock. A discontinued panel or an unusual spring has to be ordered, which adds a second visit.
Age and wear
Ten-year-old hardware usually has more than one tired part, so a quote may bundle two fixes rather than leave you with a second call-out next month.
Time of day
Business-hours jobs are at list price. Nights, weekends and public holidays add a flat $500 to the repair, agreed before we leave the depot.
Where you are
We work from Gosnells across the whole Perth metro area with no call-out fee, so distance does not change the bill.
Residential or commercial
Commercial roller doors and shutters run heavier springs and motors. Servicing them starts at $280–$380, and repairs are quoted to the door.
Repair or replace
Past a certain point a new door at $3,000–$5,000 beats a chain of repairs. When that is true we say so; see new garage doors in Perth.
Worked Examples
Remote stopped working
Usually a flat battery, a lost code or a worn remote. A replacement is $95 each plus $120 to attend and program, but a receiver fault on the motor moves the job into the $380–$490 opener-repair range.
Door stops part-way
Often a limit or force setting, or a roller binding in the track. A service visit from $140 plus parts covers the reset; a bent track or a door off its guides is $440–$770.
Motor hums, door does not move
A stripped drive gear or a failed capacitor is repaired for $380–$490. If the logic board has gone on an old opener, a new motor at $770–$990 is usually the better spend.
Loud bang, door now very heavy
A broken spring. One spring is $240–$280 fitted; if the door runs a pair of the same age we suggest doing both at $440–$550 so it balances properly and you avoid a second visit.
Repair or Replace the Door?
Most faults are worth fixing. The answer changes when the door itself, not one part, has reached the end of its life.
Repair it when
- One part has failed and the panels, tracks and frame are still sound
- The door is under about fifteen years old and has been serviced
- The quote sits well under a third of a new door's $3,000–$5,000 price
- You need the door secure tonight and can plan a replacement later
Replace it when
- Several panels are rusted, cracked or bent and the door no longer seals
- Springs, cables, rollers and the opener are all due in the same year
- Parts for the profile are discontinued and every fix is a workaround
- You are adding an opener anyway and the old door is too heavy for one

Frequently Asked Questions
Broken springs, by a long way, followed by lift cables that snap or jump off the drum and openers that stop responding. All three are wear items on a door that cycles several times a day. A spring is $240–$280 incl. GST to replace; the symptoms are covered on our broken spring or cable page.
The same price list applies to roller doors. A spring inside the drum is $240–$280, a re-tension of a slipped spring $280–$330, a new lock and arms $380–$440 and a replacement pelmet $380–$480, all incl. GST. A curtain that has come out of its guides is $440–$770. Details are on our roller door repairs page.
Repairing is cheaper in almost every case where one part has failed, because even the dearest single repair, a panel at $550–$1,100, is well under a new door. Replacing wins when several panels are damaged, the profile is discontinued, or springs, cables and opener are all worn at once. We tell you which side of that line your door is on before quoting.
In Perth a standard roller or sectional door is $3,000–$5,000 incl. GST supplied and installed, including removal of the old door, new tracks and hardware. Commercial and custom doors run $5,000–$15,000 depending on size and finish. Our garage doors Perth page has the door types, and the new garage door cost guide explains what moves a door up or down within those bands.
The door itself usually outlasts its parts. Springs are rated in cycles rather than years, so a door used four times a day wears its springs out sooner than one used once. Openers, cables and rollers each have their own life. An annual service catches the part that is about to fail; the service cost guide explains what it includes.
A full tune-up is from $140 incl. GST plus any parts you approve on the day, and a stand-alone safety inspection with a written report is a flat $120. The tune-up covers balance, spring tension, lubrication, limit settings and the safety reverse, which is why it prevents most of the repairs priced on this page.
Yes when the fault is a capacitor, drive gear or limit switch, which are repaired for $380–$490 incl. GST. It is not worth it when the logic board or motor has failed on a unit that is already old, because a new Capital motor at $770–$990 comes with remotes and a 5-year motor and drive warranty. Try our opener reset guide first; a surprising number of dead openers only need that.
