Where this job typically sits. Access is usually a bigger cost driver than size.
| Job | Indicative price | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Service call / diagnosis | $90 – $180 | Callout and assessment. Usually credited against the repair if you go ahead. |
| Torsion spring replacement | $250 – $600 | Priced per spring. Doors with two springs are normally done as a pair. |
| Cable replacement | $150 – $350 | Often done alongside springs — the two wear together. |
| Motor / opener repair | $150 – $450 | Boards, capacitors and gear sets. Cheaper than replacing the unit where the parts exist. |

| Roller door repair | $180 – $600 | Curtain, drum, spring or guide work on a roller door. |
| Off-track / re-alignment | $150 – $400 | Common after something clips the door. Check the panels before assuming it's just tracks. |
| Panel or section replacement | $300 – $900+ | Per panel, and colour-matching an older door is the variable. |
| Remote or keypad replacement | $60 – $220 | Coding a new remote is often a five-minute job. |
| Full door replacement (existing opening) | $1,400 – $4,000+ | Sectional, roller or tilt, plus wind classification for the site. |
