Quick Answer
Garage door spring repair in Perth from Elite Garage Doors Perth means a technician attends any hour, confirms whether the spring has snapped, slipped or simply worn out, and fits a new spring matched to your door's weight. A single spring is $240–$280 incl. GST fitted and a matched pair is $440–$550; a spring that has only lost tension is re-set for $280–$330. There is no call-out fee and the price is agreed on site before any winding starts.
Broken Garage Door Spring Repair, Roller, Sectional and Tilt
The spring is the part that does the lifting. On a sectional door it is a torsion spring on a shaft above the opening; on a tilt door it is a pair of extension springs beside the frame; on a roller door it is coiled inside the drum where you cannot see it. The opener only adds the last push, so when a spring lets go the motor is suddenly asked to lift the whole door, and it either stalls, strips its drive gear or lifts one side and leaves the door hanging crooked. That is why a broken spring tends to arrive with a second fault if the door keeps being used.
Most spring failures announce themselves. A torsion spring breaks with a loud bang from the garage, usually when nobody is touching the door, and afterwards you can see a clean gap in the coil. Extension springs stretch and sag before they fail, so the door starts closing with a thump and will not hold itself open. A roller door spring loses its set slowly: the door creeps down after you lift it, needs two hands where one used to do, and finally refuses to stay up at all. If you have any of those symptoms, stop using the door and call; the spring or cable broken page explains what is safe to check while you wait.
On arrival the technician measures the old spring, confirms the door's weight and checks the cables, drums, bearings and bottom brackets that take the load alongside it. The new spring is supplied from the van for common sizes, wound to the number of turns that door needs, and the door is balanced so it sits still halfway up and lifts evenly from both sides. If the cable has jumped its drum or frayed in the failure, it is re-seated or replaced on the same visit rather than booked as a second job. Prices for every outcome are on the spring replacement cost guide, and the technician confirms yours before touching the door.
We work from Gosnells and attend across the whole Perth metro area, north and south of the river, 24 hours a day. A spring that fails at night or on a weekend is repaired at the same part price plus a flat $500 after-hours surcharge, which is quoted on the phone before anyone is dispatched. Every spring job carries a 12-month workmanship warranty.

What Happens When You Call
Call and describe the door
Roller, sectional or tilt, and whether you heard a bang, see a gap in the coil or the door just feels heavy. That tells us which springs to put on the van.
Leave the door alone
Do not run the opener or try to lift the door by hand. With the spring gone the cables carry the full weight and can let go without warning.
Inspect and quote
The technician checks the spring, cables, drums and brackets and gives you a written price incl. GST for exactly what has failed, before any winding.
Fit and wind
The new spring goes on the shaft or into the drum and is wound to the turns the door's weight needs. A two-spring door normally gets both replaced together.
Balance and hand back
The door is lifted by hand to confirm it holds halfway, the opener's limits and force are re-set, the safety beams are tested, and the 12-month workmanship warranty is noted on your invoice.
Guide Prices
Spring repair prices from our list, all incl. GST. The technician confirms the figure on site after measuring the old spring and checking the cables:
| Job | Guide price (incl. GST) | Notes |

Guide figures only, and every price includes GST. What you pay depends on what has failed, the parts needed and the size of the door; the technician confirms the exact price at your door before any work begins, and the quote costs nothing.
Why Perth Homes Call Elite
The right spring, not the nearest one
Springs are matched by length, inside diameter and wire size to the door's measured weight, so the door balances instead of fighting the opener.
Cables and drums checked every time
A spring rarely fails on its own on an older door. The parts that share its load are inspected on the same visit, so you are not calling again next month.
Price from the list, agreed on site
A single spring is $240–$280 and a pair $440–$550 incl. GST. You see the figure before any work starts, and there is no call-out fee.

Request QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
A single spring replaced is $240–$280 incl. GST and a matched pair is $440–$550, fitted and balance-tested with no call-out fee. Doors running three or four springs are $660–$770 and $880–$1,000. If the spring has slipped rather than broken, re-setting it is $280–$330. The spring replacement cost guide explains what decides where a job lands in those ranges.
A spring that has snapped, cracked or stretched is replaced; there is no safe way to mend a broken coil. A spring that is intact but has lost its set, usually because it slipped on the shaft or was never wound correctly, can be re-fitted and re-tensioned. The technician tells you which one applies after measuring the spring and lifting the door by hand.
Repair, in almost every case. Springs are among the lower-cost repairs on our list, and the door, tracks and opener are usually sound. A new door only makes sense when springs, cables, rollers and the opener are all worn out together, or the panels themselves are rusted or buckled. The repair cost guide lets you add the jobs up against a new door at $3,000–$5,000.
Springs wear out by cycles, one cycle being one open and close, so a door used several times a day reaches the end of its spring long before one used once a week. Corrosion speeds it up, which is why coastal and salt-air suburbs see more failures, and a spring that was never matched to the door's weight is overworked from day one. A broken spring on a well-used door is normal wear, not a sign the door is finished.
On a two-spring door, yes. Both springs have done the same number of cycles, so the one that has not broken yet is close behind, and a brand-new spring working beside a tired one lifts the door unevenly and wears the cables. The pair price of $440–$550 incl. GST is less than two separate visits and resets the balance properly.
Please do not try. Without the spring the door's whole weight is on the cables and on you; a sectional door can drop the moment you let go, and a cable can jump the drum. Do not pull the opener's manual release either, because that hands the full weight to the door. If the car is trapped inside, call the 24/7 line and we make the door safe first.
Yes. A roller door's spring sits inside the drum, so a door that will not stay up, creeps down or needs two hands to lift usually has a tired drum spring. We re-tension or replace it and reset the curtain in its guides. The roller door repairs page covers the other roller-door faults we see alongside springs.
We attend any hour, seven days, across the Perth metro area, and common spring sizes are carried on the van so most sectional and roller door springs are replaced in a single visit. A discontinued door profile or an unusual spring size may need the part ordered, and you are told that before we start. After hours the part price stays the same and a flat $500 surcharge applies.
